The series is quite popular, so fans have been wondering if they can expect a Horimiya Season 2 or OVA any time soon. This article, will cover everything you need to know about season 2 and OVA of the popular romance anime.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Horimiya <\/strong>is a high school romance anime that is based on the manga of the same name. The manga series was written by author <strong>Hero <\/strong>and illustrated by <strong>Daisuke Hagiwara<\/strong>. Moreover, the anime series which has adapted the popular manga was produced by Studia <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/CloverWorks\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CloverWorks<\/a>. The anime was the season&#8217;s most-watched romantic comedy anime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The story follows a high school boy Miyamura, who didn&#8217;t have any friends and who always looked gloomy. One day while helping a kid who was injured to his home. Miyamura meets his classmate Hori-san and how that coincidental meeting with her changed his life. And how both of them helped each other to deal with their life&#8217;s trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its first season concluded in April 2021 and since then fans have been\u00a0<strong>wondering whether the anime will return for season 2 or a spin-off<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"504\" src=\"https:\/\/animenewsandfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Horimiya-Manga.jpg\" alt=\"Horimiya Manga\" class=\"wp-image-9989\" srcset=\"https:\/\/animenewsandfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Horimiya-Manga.jpg 900w, https:\/\/animenewsandfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Horimiya-Manga-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/animenewsandfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Horimiya-Manga-768x430.jpg 768w, https:\/\/animenewsandfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Horimiya-Manga-696x390.jpg 696w, https:\/\/animenewsandfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Horimiya-Manga-750x420.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In case of anime the the possibility of a sequel or nay kind of continuation being announced mainly depends on three factors which are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Availability of source material<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Sales<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Popularity<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we will take a deep look into the information that I have complied into 3 different sections and at the end I will tell you that you should expect something relegated to Horimiya Season 2. Now, let&#8217;s start for the breakdown of the information we have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is There Enough Material for Horimiya Season 2?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Today most of the anime are adapted from the already existing source material in the form of&nbsp;<strong>Manga, Light Novel, Games, and such<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of Horimiya, the source material is&nbsp;a <strong>manga <\/strong>written by the author HERO. Those who have watched the first season of Horimiya already know that the first season has already covered the full manga. However, the story was not as detailed as the manga and many of the important chapters were skipped which could still be adapted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, many of you might remember that in the Manga there were chapters covering Hori-san&#8217;s brother&#8217;s relationship with his childhood friend. So, there is also a possibility of the Spin-off series elaborating that part of the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong> It is possible that there will be OVA episodes that will cover some of the important chapters of the manga that were not adapted in the actual anime series or there even might be an entire spin-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"685\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/animenewsandfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Horimiya-Episode-Release-Schedule-1.jpg\" alt=\"Horimiya-Episode-Release-Schedule-1\" class=\"wp-image-7863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/animenewsandfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Horimiya-Episode-Release-Schedule-1.jpg 685w, https:\/\/animenewsandfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Horimiya-Episode-Release-Schedule-1-206x300.jpg 206w, https:\/\/animenewsandfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Horimiya-Episode-Release-Schedule-1-288x420.jpg 288w, https:\/\/animenewsandfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Horimiya-Episode-Release-Schedule-1-150x219.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sales and Popularity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In this section, we will see if the anime was even profitable for the production committee or failed to even make up the production costs. For this, we will analyze its Blu-ray, DVD sale, and light novel sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before moving ahead you will need to understand and most of the anime today created are mostly produced to&nbsp;<strong>promote and boost the sales of its source material<\/strong>&nbsp;(in this case the manga). Sales generated through the sales of the light novel, merch are their main source of income, and the rest is treated as a side income in the form of advertiser fees, online streaming licensing, and Blu-ray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Generally a 12-epsiode anime television series usually takes about $ 3,000,000 to produce.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of the latest Horimiya manga currently has&nbsp;<strong>1.2 million copies circulation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On average Horimiya has a cumulative 5.7 million copies of its volumes in\u00a0circulation, so it is certainly doing impressively in terms of light novel sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CNs2IZQZcyI\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Horimiya Blu-ray Sales<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Blu-ray sales for the first volume are around<strong>&nbsp;3,740 copies sold<\/strong>. That\u2019s decent, and it\u2019s for the first week only, so it should sell a few hundred more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A total of 3.7k units sold is good, considering there is also growing streaming and merch money coming from domestic and overseas companies like Crunchyroll, BiliBli, in 2021. However, if it manages to reach\u00a0<strong>5k then it would be a massive boost to the probability of a sequel getting green-lit<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion:\u00a0<\/strong>the sales are not overall amazing but are decent enough to get a second season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Popularity Of The Series In Japan And In West<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In this section, we will take a look at how popular this series is and how much the anime boosted the popularity. To do that, we will look at its official social media handles, MyAnimeList, and other rankings, and how successful the manga is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/animenewsandfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/horimiya-episode-7-countdown.jpg\" alt=\"horimiya-episode\" class=\"wp-image-8491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/animenewsandfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/horimiya-episode-7-countdown.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/animenewsandfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/horimiya-episode-7-countdown-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/animenewsandfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/horimiya-episode-7-countdown-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/animenewsandfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/horimiya-episode-7-countdown-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/animenewsandfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/horimiya-episode-7-countdown-747x420.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Manga Information<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After the manga was adapted by Daisuke Hagiwara under Hero&#8217;s supervision under the title\u00a0<em><strong>Horimiya<\/strong><\/em>. The manga popularity has only grown with Volume 2 that\u00a0reached 15th place on the weekly\u00a0Oricon\u00a0manga charts and, as of December 2, 2012, had sold 43,735 copies. Moreover, if we talk more about it volume 6 reached 2nd place\u00a0and, as of November 16, 2014, had sold 208,788 copies.

This directly shows how popular the series in Japan who is the demographically targeted audience for its Manga and Blu-rays sales and accounts for almost or sometimes even more than 50% of revenue generated. I would also like to mention, that another HERO&#8217;s Twitter has also risen in popularity, with around 250K as of writing this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"et\" dir=\"ltr\">Anime of Winter 2021, January 4 \u2014 April 4 manga ranking, first volumes estimated sales:<br><br>Jujutsu Kaisen \u2014 996 213 \/12 weeks in top<br>Kemono Jihen \u2014 117 766 \/13<br>Yakusoku no Neverland \u2014 98 161 \/13<br>Horimiya \u2014 80 794 \/13<br>Gotoubun no Hanayome \u2014 68 227 \/13<br>World Trigger \u2014 61 607 \/13 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CPwaSDl3X8\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/CPwaSDl3X8<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Oricon and Shoseki manga sales (@al_mavivi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/al_mavivi\/status\/1380530779969699847?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">April 9, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script type=\"application\/vnd.embed-optimizer.javascript\" async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rankings<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>On\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/myanimelist.net\/anime\/42897\/Horimiya\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MyAnimeList<\/a>, Horimiya Aime is ranked #244with a rating of<strong>\u00a08.27 <\/strong>with about <strong>614,000<\/strong> members.
