Horimiya

This TV show is an anime worth watching! The anime is based on a high school romance and romcom stories and if you are interested in that, watch Horimiya and broaden your anime exposure. 

On the surface, the thought of Kyouko Hori and Izumi Miyamura getting along would be the last thing in people's minds. After all, Hori has a perfect combination of beauty and brains, while Miyamura appears meek and distant to his fellow classmates. However, a fateful meeting between the two lays both of their hidden selves bare. Even though she is popular at school, Hori has little time to socialize with her friends due to housework. On the other hand, Miyamura lives under the noses of his peers, his body bearing secret tattoos and piercings that make him look like a gentle delinquent. Having opposite personalities yet sharing odd similarities, the two quickly become friends and often spend time together in Hori's home. As they both emerge from their shells, they share with each other a side of themselves concealed from the outside world. This show is not like any other normal romcom anime that you will find anywhere else.

The real star of the show is the Miyamura and Hori relationship. The way they act so cute and adorable with each other but it is not cringey like usual romance shows. The way they balance each other out, the way they make each other laugh, the way they support each other's quirks... it's all just so beautifully done. I loved how the show took its time developing their relationship, making it feel earned and authentic.
