Horimiya #02 — “And Then Everyone Clapped”
I'm tired of this trope for the season. Impressions: I think this is where this show and I part ways, although nowhere near as acrimoniously as many…
Horimiya: Piece – 09 – Let Them Eat Cake
1 This week focuses more on the faculty of Horimiya, primarily Yasuda-sensei. This is unfortunate, since Yasuda-sensei’s whole deal is he harbors an inappropriate love of high school…
Horimiya: Piece | I’ve loved everything so far.

Horimiya: Piece | Everything I wanted it to be.
For starters, I personally didn't care for how they presented "Horimiya: Piece", As you'd expect "Horimiya: Piece" fills in the missing pieces to the original. But for someone…
