During the AnimeJapan 2023 event it was announced that the manga written by HERO and illustrated by Daisuke Hagiwara , Horimiya , will have a new anime adaptation titled Horimiya: Piece , which will premiere next July in Japan . This new adaptation is not about any sequel or prequel, but rather "it will finish the job started two years ago."
According to what was mentioned in the press release, this new anime series will adapt the stories of the original manga that were not covered in the adaptation produced in Winter-2021 (January-March) , with the same cast of voices and team of production.
On the other hand, the series was broadcast in Japan during the Winter-2021 season (January-March ), with a total of thirteen episodes and with Funimation broadcasting it for the West. The manga was published through Square Enix 's Monthly G Fantasy magazine since October 2011, and ended in March 2021.
Horimiya Synopsis
Though admired at school for her kindness and academic prowess, high school student Kyouko Hori has been hiding another side of her. With her parents often away from home due to her work, Hori has to take care of her younger brother and do chores, with no time to socialize outside of school.
Meanwhile, Izumi Miyamura is seen as a brooding otaku who wears glasses. However, he is actually a kind person and inept at studying. Additionally, he has nine piercings hidden behind his long hair, and a tattoo along his back and left shoulder. By sheer chance, Hori and Miyamura pass each other outside of school, neither looking as the other would expect. These seemingly polar opposites become friends, sharing a side they've never shown anyone.
