I chose to write my first review on Hori-san to Miyamura-kun because it was my first web comic in Japanese. It's one of the most popular web comics in the Japanese speaking community : it has an OVA, a new adaptation and 10 volumes were published by Square Enix. It's also been on top of the Comic Room ranking for a while now.

The story is pretty usual : Hori Kyôko is a highschool girl with a cool beauty image but when she's at home she's in full housewife mode. One day her little brother brings back a young man with long hair and many piercings. He's actually Miyamura Izumi, the gloomy four-eyes in her class. She realizes he isn't that gloomy, they become friends and the rest you can guess.
