Horimiya: The Missing Pieces is now available to stream on Hulu and Crunchyroll, featuring both English dub and subtitle options. This 13-episode series adapts beloved stories from Hiroki Adachi's manga that were previously excluded from the main Horimiya anime adaptation.
Produced by CloverWorks, known for their work on Bocchi the Rock! and Spy x Family, this collection offers further glimpses into the daily lives and budding relationships of the charming cast. The series focuses on episodic character-driven moments, expanding on the slice-of-life and romantic comedy elements that earned the original Horimiya an 8.13 rating on MyAnimeList from over 205,000 voters.
Fans can expect more of the heartwarming interactions and humorous situations that define the Horimiya universe. The anime continues to explore the dynamic between Hori, an outwardly popular student with a secret home life, and Miyamura, a quiet, seemingly gloomy boy with a hidden, more approachable side. These 'missing pieces' delve deeper into their friendships and individual quirks.
While the main Horimiya anime covered the core narrative of the manga, The Missing Pieces serves as a delightful companion piece. It allows viewers to spend more time with the ensemble cast and enjoy standalone stories that enrich the overall experience without requiring prior knowledge of the main plot, though it enhances the enjoyment for existing fans.
