Hori and Miyamura

Kyouko Hori is known at school as bright, capable, and popular, but at home she’s the one handling the chores and looking after her younger brother, Souta, while her parents stay busy with work. Izumi Miyamura, often dismissed by classmates as a quiet otaku, keeps his own secret life out of sight—piercings and a large tattoo that no one would expect.

When the two unexpectedly stumble upon what the other has been hiding, their guarded images begin to crack in a way neither anticipated. By trusting each other with the parts they’ve never shown anyone else, Hori and Miyamura build a close connection that gradually draws in the people around them, making it easier to open up as their private selves and public selves start to meet.
