Season 1
Season 1, simply titled Horimiya, aired from January 10 to April 4, 2021, with 13 episodes. It follows Hori and Miyamura from the day he turns up at her door with her brother, through their growing friendship and the circle of classmates that forms around them. It keeps the focus on the central relationship while giving Ishikawa, Yoshikawa, Sengoku and the others their own threads.
Season 2: The Missing Pieces
Season 2, Horimiya: The Missing Pieces, aired from July 1 to September 23, 2023, with 13 episodes, again by CloverWorks with the same director. Instead of a new storyline, it adapts manga chapters the first season did not animate, giving more room to the friend group and to everyday moments at school and at home. It is best watched after Season 1.
