Episode titles and airdates for episodes 1 through 11, as listed by TVmaze:[1](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/52001/horimiya/episodeguide)
| # | Title | Airdate |
|---|---|---|

The series ran to episode 13, which closes on graduation; because it compressed a 122-chapter manga, it omitted a large amount of material along the way, and the final episode ends on a montage of the skipped content.[3](https://watchordr.com/series/horimiya/)
## Horimiya: The Missing Pieces (2023)
*The Missing Pieces* does not continue the timeline. It returns to the same school year and adapts the chapters the 2021 series cut, giving the supporting cast the room they lost.[3](https://watchordr.com/series/horimiya/) The official Japanese site numbers the episodes "page.1" through "page.13":[7](https://horimiya-anime.com/story/)
| # | Japanese title | English gloss |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | "Shuugaku Ryokou" (修学旅行) | School Trip |
| 2 | "Chouri Jissuu" (調理実習) | Cooking Class |
| 3 | "Taiikusai" (体育祭) | Sports Festival |
| 4 | "Hori Kotatsu" (堀こたつ) | The Hori Kotatsu |
| 5 | "Iura" (井浦) | Iura |
| 6 | "Otomarikai" (お泊り会) | Sleepover |
| 7 | "Tomodachi" (友達) | Friends |

Broadcast began July 1, 2023 at 23:30 on TOKYO MX, Tochigi TV, Gunma TV, BS11, and MBS, with same-day streaming on ABEMA, U-NEXT, and Anime Hōdai and wider platform availability from July 5, 2023.[2](https://horimiya-anime.com/onair/) One schedule change occurred: MBS moved page.9 from August 26 to August 30, 2023 (27:30) because of [World Athletics](https://www.edgepedia.org/world-athletics) programming.[2](https://horimiya-anime.com/onair/) The opening theme is "Shiawase" (幸せ) by [Omoinotake](https://www.edgepedia.org/omoinotake) and the ending theme is "URL" by Aoi Sakaguchi (坂口有望).[8](https://horimiya-anime.com/)
**Character focus.** The season gives previously underdone characters substantial focus. Yanagi, whose screen time in the 2021 series was largely restricted to his confession and a height spat with the boys, receives an entire episode covering a naming-rights dilemma, a waking nightmare, and a budding relationship with Kono.[9](https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/guides/2023/9/26/how-to-watch-horimiya-in-chronological-order) The sports festival, described as the most considerable exclusion from the original series, is adapted in full, and it solidifies Miyamura's self-acceptance.[9](https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/guides/2023/9/26/how-to-watch-horimiya-in-chronological-order)
## Chronological viewing order
Because the two series cover the same school year from different ends, the episodes interleave. Crunchyroll published a timestamp-level guide that cuts the two runs into segments and orders them by story time. In outline: the 2021 series runs mostly in order through its first six episodes, with the opening of *The Missing Pieces* episode 1 slotting between Horimiya episodes 2 and 3; the sports festival material of *The Missing Pieces* episodes 1 through 3 sits around Horimiya episodes 7 through 9; the kotatsu scenes of *The Missing Pieces* episode 4 thread through Horimiya episodes 9, 10, and 12; and from the mid-point onward *The Missing Pieces* increasingly takes over as the original series' remaining material thins out.[9](https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/guides/2023/9/26/how-to-watch-horimiya-in-chronological-order)
For newcomers, the simpler recommended order is the 2021 series first, then *The Missing Pieces*, which assumes the characters and situation are already known and does not reintroduce them.[3](https://watchordr.com/series/horimiya/)
## The OVA series
*Hori-san to Miyamura-kun* is a separate, earlier adaptation of the four-panel webcomic the manga was based on. Its six episodes were released between 2012 and 2021, beginning in September 2012, and retell the early part of the story in a rougher style closer to HERO's original art. In Japan, the episodes were offered only as extras packaged with volumes of the manga, and no company has ever secured English-language rights to stream them or release them on home video.[3](https://watchordr.com/series/horimiya/) The project was initiated by Uzu, a graphic design company affiliated with HERO, making it essentially an indie production rather than a conventional studio release, and each episode features its own ending theme sung by character voice actors.[10](https://anibase.net/en/anime/mLzP4/Horimiya)
## Streaming
Funimation simulcast the 2021 series in the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United States, and Canada; [Crunchyroll](https://www.edgepedia.org/crunchyroll) later confirmed it streams both the original series and *The Missing Pieces* after English-language streaming moved from Funimation to Crunchyroll.[6](https://animesignal.com/insights/horimiya-anime-rights-and-licensing) In Japan, *The Missing Pieces* streamed on ABEMA and U-NEXT from July 1, 2023, with wider platform availability including Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video from July 5, 2023.[2](https://horimiya-anime.com/onair/)
