Great episode! Felt really bittersweet watching the episode after finishing the last chapter of the manga. It feels good to see these characters for 2 more episodes or more if we get a second season.

Loved the interactions of the squad it's very relaxing and Iura is goodest boi and bro. Sawada was also great this episode being all afraid of Iura and shit lmao. That teacher was pretty crap for saying that to Moto instead of motivating her. But, best bro is here to support his lil sis.

Feels pretty exciting not knowing what chapters they'll adapt since they just adapt whatever the fuck they wanna adapt lmao. Looking forward to the next episode.

Ngl I completely forgot this guy existed. Probably because he has been sidelined by the massive amount of skipped chapters.

I feel that this episode had a very sudden shift... Felt confused for the first half... Like, where are all these characters popping up from?

Really loved the content of this episode, it made me forget last weeks', making me warm to the series again.

Very realistic sibling interaction, but it's clear Iura is an awesome big bro.

Finally Shuu focus episode...
I like the development between him and Motoko..

I like the conversation about Keigo or non Keigo...
That was interesting...

I see bunch of people hate episode about the side characters...
You didn't find the side characters interesting at all?

I'm really glad the side characters got some development...
Even though the shows it's called Horimiya, but isn't just about both of them...
Friends are also important...

For fuck sake, can this show stop introducing new side characters every episode and just focus on the ones it already has? We have some interesting ones in there that could do with some actual development (and no, I'm not counting Sawada here as she's not a good or interesting character imo), but no let's introduce some random person every episode and hope the audience actually still cares by the end. This is yet another failing of this show that comes down to inept directing, both in terms of pacing the actual content and actually ordering things in a way that makes it make sense. For example, why couldn't we have had more of the side characters in the early stage of the show and build Hori and Miyamura's relationship more slowly on the side, rather than speedrunning through all their meaningful developments and running out of things to do with them as has very clearly happened now?

CloverWorks have dropped the ball hard on both their main shows this season. The only consolation this week is that Hori doesn't interact with Miyamura so we don't get any of her toxicity this week.

You are definitely the only one. It went hard the first 6-ish episodes. I was really enjoying myself back then, but now I've kinda lost interest. The comedy had a much more natural flow, but now I feel like it's more forced.

Shu is such an awesome character because he's so breezy and carefree but he's not irresponsible or unreliable; he's serious and sincere when he needs to be, like when Motoko needed him. He provides a lot of great comedic moments too!

This episode was kind of all over the place on the first half as we see our group of characters emssing around and incorporating the (HOT-blooded and graced) Akane into their sphere. We also had some bit of Sawada again as she tries to understand a person called "Shuu", and at the end she fails because he's just too loud. And I agree with you Sakura, his timing is a bit wrong and annoying. Oh and um I never thought we can get a TSUNDERE IZUMI, that caught me off-guard!!!

But speaking of Shuu, he owns this episode along with his little sister Motoko. I never knew I could relate to Shuu with its funny and clownish outside with an introverted and calm inside, and he also has one imouto like me. And when he interacts with his sis, especially when Motoko broke down with her slipping grades, we see the true person that Shuu is...and I love it and I almost cried because of it.

It was nice that even for one episode we got to see Shuu's character developed, and hopefully he can continue supporting his sister and still be a good lad to everyone. Also lemme just say, MOTOKO IS CUTE AS AN ANGEL...that's just about it.

Also enjoy some screenshots coming up:

Eh, this episode was alright. I completely forgot about Iura and the fact they made episode 11 mostly about his sister is very strange. Obviously there was some skipping of the source material, but I hope episodes 12 and 13 aren't convoluted and rushed since they wasted an episode slot late in the season on a character we don't know about imo

All the different character centered episodes are cute and all but I really hope we can actually see more of Hori and Miyamura's relationship. Otherwise it wouldn't really be "Horimiya".

I'm usually ok with side story lines but doing it with only 2 more episodes to go in the series? It felt like a filler episode and a bit unnecessary.

Today's episode focusing on Iura and siblings.

Shuu and his little sister is such an understandable relationship, and see Shuu being quiet but caring for only his sister is so touching. Each character is so lovable, can't imagine this anime not getting a season 2.

Well, more of the side characters slice of their lifes, eh? Snowing background again, they really like that visual, really xd. Shuu and Akane. I am kinda confused how they managed to considered Yanagi as their group member. Not long until how they depicted more of his dynamical lines in the middle of the boys talk, and elses. I see he still considered Yuuki more than everyone with his interaction. Then, the way Miyamura-kun responded Yanagi action in the beginning of his group entering, just lol.

Also, finally they revealed more of the green haired boy, Shuu, sol with his one and only little sister. The way Sawada depicted that boy and his little change, actually cute. Unfortunately its back to the normal behaviour again and crushed the good moment Sawada has been built up. Lol. Despite his loud and annoying personality, he could be more tolerable cool and awesome against his little sister problem. Thats sweet af. Its been a long time not seeing that kind of dynamical relationship, y'know, that thing. So i am legitimately call this one as a fuckin great episode.

Unfortunately, there's only two more episode, and Shuu was not even an important supporting character. So, yeah, bye-bye, i guess!

well it seems this episode rather focused on Iura since he still had any highlight recently... plus few Yanagi's part

Just realizing that a lot of them were a single child surprising Iura with his happy- go demeanor actually got a lil sis. Even more surprisingly he actually very calm and silent in the house. Yanagi being lil bit stiff around the gang.. and Iura just jumping out and easily get along to him like that with his loud easygoing personality ... haha everyone really jealous of his personality..l Yanagi also blushing when he realized he actually relaxed toward Yuki.

Miyamura getting awkwardly blushing and adorably pissed off when Yanagi told him he won't take "her" haha....
In the end they actually getting along with each other. Even Sakura felt surprised looking at them.

Poor Iura for becoming the only Male from the gang that got bad sentiment from Sawada coz of he is being loud XD. Well after helping her at least she sees Iura as a great person even she didn't realized that he was silenced before because of sore throat haha...in the end he's back to his loud personality XD.

Last part telling about Iura & his lil sis, Motoko life. Poor Motoko after all the hardworks she has done getting those bad remarks and demotivation from her teacher according her choosen school. Despite of his goofyness and loudness Shu(Iura) actually really care for his lil sis, he now that she already works very hard on studying. In the end He asked Hori to teach his lil sis for the entrance exam. Hori directly realized how he really love and caring about his sister and vice versa when She's doing the tutoring.

Oh.. man.. they really skipped chapter 63-64.. i didn't expecting it. Now i'm really sure that they only adapting it in one go/ one season. The chapters that adapted in this episode were more even jumbled and a lot more chapters got skipped. Straightly adapting chapter 76(only few beginning parts) and 75 in order respectively. Then directly jumped to ch 103(Sawada's part with Iura) and ended with back to whole chapter 91 (Iura & his sister part).

Based on this fact i think they just adapted this for 1 season only and for celebrating the Manga getting finished i guess... well 2 more episodes to go.. can't wait to finishing it soon like i did in the manga few days ago too..
well ....really excited for the next episode :D

As an anime-only viewer, I feel like they are all over the place and poorly adapting the manga. I feel so sorry for the manga readers.

Like, I'm still interested in watching, but why was Shuu's backstory necessary? We barely saw him the entire series and now we are supposed to care about him and his little sister for 3/4 of an episode? I would have honestly preferred more Yanagi content because at least it adds some comedic stuff with the rest of the cast.

Iura's concern for his sister is touching. But really, teachers ought to be able to act a bit more tactfully. I hope everything works out for the smaller Iura.

Yeah it's skipping a ton of chapters, but it's sort of a symptom of the Mangas biggest problem. After they get together in the Manga, it rapidly goes down hill. They sort of went ths wrong direction with the anime. They should have just animated everything up until the part where they sleep together. There was a lot of good stuff they cut out there. Everything after they sleep together is pretty boring.

First of all, who is Iura? I really dont't remember this character watching the show once a week. How do they expect me to care about his sister's tests? Everything seems a little forced and chaotic. Miyamura's personality is almost unrecognizable and the comedy is really out of point.

I didn't read the manga, but they definitely didn't have time to introduce so many characters to the show. I think it would be better not to even show some until the first season is over. The side characters are almost all forgetables, I'm not even asking for more romance, just some consistency. It feels like I'm watching a totally different show than the one I started.

Yep, agreed on you. Fallen in love with this anime at the early episodes... Lately, it's getting boring... So sad to see Miyamura changes so much. From loveable to some random character...

Finally a focus for the green haired guy. This guy is one of the 9 on the main poster and he’s just been background fodder. Nice story for him and his sister, but it feels like all the development for all these characters are off screen and this show is just for manga readers.

Wholesome and sweet, as usual.

I take it back, Honoka is cute as hell. I repeat, cute as hell. Need more of her.

Remi playing Yanagi was really funny too lol forcing him to say "bye-bye"

I like these episodes and all but I want more cute moments between Izumi and Kyoko!

Oof, until now I've always said that I like the supporting cast way more than Hori & Miyamura, but I have to correct that statement. I like Yuuki, Toruu, Sakura & Remi more than them. Everyone else is either boring (the rest of the supporting cast + Miyamura) or straight up unlikeable (Hori).

This episode felt totally out of place and also kinda unnecessary. Why does the anime expect us to care about Shuu at all? And wasn't Honoka gay? Why are they suddenly trying to give her a male crush?

Definitely gonna lower my score to a 6 again :x

Oh, so it's time for an episode about the green-haired guy who is occasionally seen with them. I don't know, I liked the episode but I feel like they are trying to cover too much, the series is already going to end but they keep introducing new characters instead of developing more the ones we know. The poor Sawada was introduced a few episodes ago and then disappeared only to suddenly reappear here and now everyone knows her. Aside from cramming too much in, I feel like too much is going on off screen.

Alright, so this is the first series of this kind where the main character is actually worse in terms of writing than side characters. First Toru, then Sengoku and now Iu, and maybe even Akane.

Finally, I wasn´t crazy, Shu is crack. Like El Diego

He really is kinda annoying when he is being loud all the time, but still a fun character. Poor Sawada though.
I wonder why he is that much different at home, but hopefully she can get into her school of choice and be closer to her brother at the same time. I really liked Hori's idea of getting closer first to make things comfortable so she can focus on her studies better.

Not sure if the seasonal watchers picked up on this, but the transition between the end of last episode and the start of this was almost.... inappropriate....

Didn't appreciate the sudden cut in the middle of a light-hearted scene to Iura's crying little sister either.
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Honestly, there almost hasn't been any Shuu before at all.. Like he showed up in couple of frames, but that's it..
It seems that after sex scene this anime really ran out of content for Hori and Miyamura.. Like after that we get drama with other couples.. And now we get slice of life friendship between all people.. I think sex scene was bad in this sense.. Now after that some drama or other things between Hori and Miyamura would look more weird.. Well, until some time would pass, which is already 3 plus episodes, so maybe it's time to do something there.. Or not, and that story is closed..
Contest on which boy Sawada will like more.. ;P
