Horimiya (Hori-san to Miyamura-kun) is the story of beautiful and popular Kyoko Hori and the introverted and shy guy Izumi Miyamura who lead vastly different lives outside of school. The two went to the same high school, but their social status and attitude are poles apart. However, their personalities at school are consciously curated to hide who they truly are outside the four walls of the academic institution.

The nerdy Izumi leads a more adventurous life and dresses up in punk style, complete with earrings and tattoos when he is outside. Meanwhile, Kyoko dresses down and takes care of her younger brother Souta. The two cross paths outside school, and after discovering each other’s secrets, they vowed to conceal the truth from their classmates at school.

As the story progresses, the two students spend more time together and eventually develop feelings for each other. They confess their love towards the end of the series and are met with acceptance and support from their friends. The last episode features the darling couple graduating high school with their friends.
