When it first appeared in early 2021, ‘Horimiya’ caused a sensation around the globe. The sweet romance between two rival high school students won the hearts of many viewers.
This anime is adapted from a manga series by Hiroki Adachi, who uses the pen name Hero for his work.
The plot centers on the high school lives of two extremely different characters: a popular girl and a bookish guy. They made a pact to conceal one other’s secrets and ended up falling in love.
Despite the series’ conclusive and happy finish, viewers want more of their love story. If yes, when will we see season 2 of “Horimiya”? This is what we know at the moment.
Synopsis of the second season of Horimiya
Unfortunately, there is no new tale from the author that might be adapted into the second season of Horimiya, therefore we have no idea what the premise would be.
The one-season anime adaptation concluded the manga, hence no further stories remain to be adopted. Nonetheless, we will provide a synopsis of the show’s plot so that you know what to expect.
Kyko Hori, a sophomore at Katagiri High School, is well-liked and gregarious. She takes excellent care of her younger brother, Sta when their working parents are away.
Izumi Miyamura, a classmate of Kyko’s who everyone ignores because of his otaku appearance and quiet, lonely nature, rescues the latter by coincidence after he takes a tumble.
Kyko doesn’t recognize her partner because, when they’re not at school, he looks like a charming young man who proudly displays the piercings and tattoos that are a lasting reminder of his troubled upbringing.
As they spend more and more time together, they are able to reveal aspects of their personalities to one another that have previously been hidden from their friends and family.
Izumi’s self-esteem grows as his romantic life improves, and he bonds with other students going through similar experiences.

Sponsored Anime Disc Sales
In addition to ratings, disc sales are a significant indicator of the success of an anime series. Anime with less than 4,000 in disc sales is usually not renewed for a second season since it is not profitable for the studio.
(An average of 4,000 in sales would be considered the “normal” volume of activity.) On February 24, 2021, Horimiya’s Blu-ray and DVD versions became available.
From the reported sales data, we may deduce that 3,740 copies of the first volume were sold and 2,879 copies of the second volume were sold.
As far as sales go, it appears to be well behind its contemporarily released rival, SK8 the Infinity. Despite falling short of projections, Horimiya’s CD sales have been respectable. It’s important to note that as digital platforms have grown in popularity, sales of anime discs have fallen.
In addition, Hulu TV’s streaming services are helping to bridge this economic difference. Nonetheless, disc sales are a significant indicator of success in Japan.
Indications of Anime’s Success
At the time of writing, 154k people follow Horimiya’s anime-themed Twitter feed. Popular anime with a fan base of over 100,000 individuals has a decent shot at being renewed. Overall, it appears that things are going well around the world.
According to Myanimelist, anime is at a perfect 111th place in terms of popularity. But despite its decline in popularity, Horimiya is still a popular search term online.
In light of this, it’s a shame that the manga has been canceled because there’s clearly enough interest to warrant a second season. When we look at what we have, we think we might see an OVA episode.
