There he becomes close friends with Goro-san, a fellow player with a male avatar, and the two get along so well that they decide to become roommates. But when Takumi goes to meet Goro-san in person, the person waiting for him looks nothing like the character in the game: Goro-san is Miyako, an outgoing gyaru, who had made an equally mistaken assumption about him. Unintentionally catfished, the two gaming friends move in together anyway and have to work out chores, boundaries and their growing feelings away from the screen. Renjuro Kindaichi's series is a fun romantic comedy about an online friendship becoming a real-life relationship, where cooperating in a game turns out to be easier than sharing a home.

When Miyamura turns up at Hori's front door, the two discover each other's hidden sides, and an unlikely friendship begins. Over shared dinners, homework and teasing friends, that friendship slowly becomes something more, and both learn how good it feels to be known for who they really are. Based on HERO's web comic and drawn by Daisuke Hagiwara, Horimiya is a gentle, funny and refreshingly honest school romance, more interested in everyday closeness than in misunderstandings.
