help Horimiya: The Missing Pieces FAQ

Is Horimiya: The Missing Pieces a sequel to the 2021 Horimiya anime?

It is better understood as a companion series that animates manga chapters skipped by the 2021 adaptation, rather than a story that begins after the finale. CloverWorks produced both shows, which is why the cast and visual style feel continuous.

Do I need to watch Horimiya before The Missing Pieces?

Watching the 2021 Horimiya series first gives the clearest relationship arc for Kyouko Hori and Izumi Miyamura, but the 2023 series revisits earlier school events. The two shows overlap in timeline, so The Missing Pieces is not a clean chronological sequel.

What kind of Horimiya stories were left out of the first anime?

The Missing Pieces focuses on everyday school episodes and supporting-character moments from HERO and Daisuke Hagiwara's manga that the first adaptation compressed or skipped. Expect more time with classmates such as Toru Ishikawa and Yuki Yoshikawa rather than a wholly new post-school plot.

How many episodes does Horimiya: The Missing Pieces have, and when did it air?

The anime aired in 2023 and has 13 episodes. Its Japanese title, Horimiya -piece-, signals that it is a collection of missing story pieces, not a new season set years later.
