A new Horimiya anime titled Horimiya -piece- has been announced with a July premiere date. A teaser trailer and visual have been released.
Horimiya -piece- is essentially a companion piece to the 2021 Cloverworks-produced anime series. It will adapt popular vignettes from the manga that weren’t depicted in the previous show.
The returning staff from the 2021 Horimiya anime includes Masashi Ishihama (Persona 5: The Animation, Shinsekai yori) as director, Takao Yoshioka (Your Lie in April, WORKING!!) as series composer and script writer, Haruko Iizuka (Ensemble Stars!, Inu × Boku SS) as character designer, and Masaru Yokoyama (Your Lie in April, Chihayafuru) as music composer.
Haruka Tomatsu and Kouki Uchiyama are once again voicing main characters Kyokou Hori and Izumi Miyamura, respectively. Other returning cast members include Seiichirou Yamashita, Yurie Kozakai, Nobuhiko Okamoto, M.A.O., Reina Kondou, Daiki Yamashita, and more.
The Square Enix-published Horimiya manga written by HERO and illustrated by Daisuke Hagiwara ran from 2011 to 2021 with 16 tankoubon volumes. Horimiya was originally created as a web comic.
Yen Press describes the manga as:
At school, Kyouko Hori is known for being smart, attractive, and popular. On the other hand, her classmate, the boring, gloomy Izumi Miyamura tends to get painted as a “loser fanboy.” But when a liberally pierced and tattooed (not to mention downright gorgeous) Miyamura appears unexpectedly on the doorstep of secretly plain-Jane homebody Hori, these two similarly dissimilar teenagers discover that there are multiple sides to every story…and person!
An OVA series produced by various studios, titled Hori-san to Miyamura-kun, began in 2012 and has six episodes as of 2021.
