The name of Horimiya is still very much alive in the memories of manga readers, but its artist, Daisuke Hagiwarayou are ready to take the next step. Square Enix confirmed that the mangaka will premiere a new series next October 10 in the magazine Shonen Gangan (edition #11/2025), and we already have the first visual of this long-awaited project.
A new beginning for the author
Although neither the title nor the plot of the work have yet been revealed, the truth is that expectations are very high. After Horimiya consolidated itself as one of the most beloved romantic comedies of the last decade, fans are eager to see if Hagiwara will opt for student romance again or surprise with a totally different genre.
First visual revealed
The magazine shared a first look that shows the protagonists in a fresh style, but with that characteristic stamp of the author that mixes tenderness and dynamism. For now, details are being kept under wraps, with the promise that more official information will be available in the coming weeks.
Horimiya's Legacy
It is worth remembering that Horimiya became a true phenomenon, with more than 10 million copies in circulation, a 13-episode anime released in 2021, and derivative projects that expanded the story of Kyoko Hori and Izumi Miyamura. With that history, the bar is very high, but Hagiwara seems ready to win back her fans.
Do you think that the new manga Daisuke Hagiwara will follow the romantic line of Horimiyaor will you bet on a totally different genre? I read them in comments.
