Horimiya (2021)

I’m the self-centered one, so I’d have to make a conscious effort to put your happiness before my own!

The more upset she is deep down, the bigger her smile gets. Even when she desperately wants something, she won’t admit it. And if the words “I want this” or “I love this” do manage to get out, she never says them with all her heart. As a result, the things Yuki wants or loves tend to slip out of her reach.

The only people who catch colds in the summer are morons.

Have the two of us ever had a conversation where we were both on the same page?

There’s a fine line between being bold and stupid. Sometimes I’m not sure where you land.

Everyone has a side that they prefer to keep to themselves.

You dummy. You’re worse than a dummy. You’re like a dummy king. King of the dummies.

He’s not a very good student.

There’s no distance. I’ve never been this close to someone before. In my life. Boundaries don’t apply to us, and I used to be terrified of that. It shook me to my core. Hori. But you know … because of you, I felt a whirlwind of emotions I wasn’t even aware I could feel. I don’t think either of us realized how nerve-wracking simply being yourself around other people could be. No fronts. Just us. Gradually breaking down our walls. But you made me realize that and then some. And I find myself asking, “What can I do for you?” How many ways can I make you smile? You’re one of the strongest people I know. Yet still so fragile. So delicate. So precious. INstead of a shadow, bringt, sunny days are what follow behind you. My whole life, the only person I knew this well, was myself. I was oblivious to how breathtaking the world could truly be. Then you came in and shattered my reality. Thank you. You told me you wanted a future with me. Thank you.

I have your smile in my life, and that’s enough to keep me clam and moving forward.

Even if it’s difficult first starting out, I think you have the potential to be friends with anybody. It’s hard, but not impossible.

I’m staying right here. Until you don’t need me, or get sick and tired of looking at me, or flat out tell me to, “buzz off”. I’ll stay wherever you are, Hori. I’m not going anywhere.

This Hori girl is kinda weird.

The real kicker is when you lose the glasses and put your hair up, you’re prettier than most girls I know.

A bit of advice if you wanna date Kyou-chan. You’d better be one hell of a masochist.

She’ll groan about making me something for a minute or two, but she always caves.

Annoying loudmouths are the absolute worst.
