The October issue of Square Enix's Monthly Shonen Gangan magazine revealed on Friday that Daisuke Hagiwara (Horimiya) will launch a new manga in the magazine's next issue on October 10. The magazine did not yet reveal the manga's title. The new manga will be Hagiwara's first original series. Hagiwara also announced the new manga on her X (formerly Twitter) account and posted the below image. The image's text translates: "It's too bittersweet to be called admiration, and too meager to be called love. What should I call this feeling?"
Hagiwara launched the Horimiya manga in Square Enix's Monthly G Fantasy magazine in 2011 as an adaptation of HERO's Hori-san to Miyamura-kun four-panel school comedy manga, and ended it in March 2021. HERO supervised the manga. Square Enix published the 16th and final compiled book volume of the manga in July 2021. Yen Press licensed the manga and published the final volume in English in May 2023. Hagiwara penned an epilogue chapter for the manga in July 2021.
The manga inspired a television anime that premiered in Japan in February 2021. Funimation streamed the anime as it aired, and it also streamed an English dub.
Horimiya: The Missing Pieces (Horimiya -piece-) anime, which animated stories in the original manga that the previous anime had not adapted, premiered in Japan in 2023. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan, and also streams an English dub.
