Horimiya: Why Missing Pieces Fits Perfectly

Fans of Slice-Of-Life anime tend to watch the genre for many reasons, albeit one or three of them. This is no different for fans of Horimiya, and the series proves this for several reasons. The lighthearted focus on characters living their lives is a popular way of relaxing from the high stakes that Shōnen and Isekai anime provide, the characters have very different priorities as well as very different personalities that aren’t entirely Shōnen in nature, and it ultimately has a lot of strengths that fans love to see since it focuses on character-driven narratives as opposed to battles or huge plots.
