Horimiya Manga Volumes: All 17 Books Collected

All 17 Horimiya Manga Volumes — Your Complete Collection Checklist

Horimiya (ホリミヤ) is a high school romance manga — a Japanese comic book series read right-to-left, printed in black and white, and collected into individual numbered paperback books called volumes. It’s based on the original webcomic by HERO, with art by Daisuke Hagiwara. The story was originally published chapter by chapter in Square Enix’s Monthly G Fantasy magazine in Japan, with the Japanese volumes released between March 2012 and July 2023.

In English, all 17 volumes are published by Yen Press, a US-based publisher that licenses manga for English-speaking readers. Every single volume is available right now. That’s the beauty of jumping into a completed series — no waiting months between releases, no worrying about whether the publisher will finish the run.

Here’s what you’re looking at for the full collection:

• Volumes: 17
• Chapters: 122
• Story: HERO (original webcomic creator)
• Art: Daisuke Hagiwara
• English Publisher: Yen Press
• Status: Complete — the entire story is available in English

A finished romance series removes every bit of collector anxiety. You know exactly how many books you need, you can budget accordingly, and the story has a real ending. For a genre where ongoing series sometimes drag on or get cancelled prematurely, that’s genuinely valuable.

The Easiest Way to Collect All 17 Volumes

There are a few paths to owning the complete Horimiya set. Here’s what’s available and what to keep in mind.

Standard Paperback Volumes

The default way to collect Horimiya is through Yen Press’s individual paperback volumes. Each one is roughly the size of a small paperback novel — about 5 by 7.5 inches — which is standard for manga in English. All 17 are available at bookstores like Barnes & Noble, online retailers including Amazon, and local comic or manga shops if you have one nearby.

There is no omnibus edition — meaning a larger book that combines two or three volumes into one — for the English release, and none has been announced. There’s also no purpose-built official box set packaging the full series together with custom packaging — though multi-volume bundle sets (individual volumes packaged together) do appear on Amazon. Individual volumes remain the standard physical collection path.

That said, buying 17 individual volumes adds up. At typical retail pricing, the full physical set runs in the range of what you’d expect for 17 manga paperbacks at their standard list prices. If you’re building the set over time, grabbing a few volumes each month keeps it manageable. Starting with the first three or four will give you a strong sense of whether this is a series you want to commit to fully.

Digital Editions

If shelf space or budget is a concern, digital is the most immediate and often the most affordable way to read the complete series. Horimiya is available on major digital platforms including Kindle, Kobo, BookWalker, and Apple Books. Digital volumes are typically priced below their physical counterparts at list price, and they’re never out of stock — which matters more than you’d think for a series this popular (more on that in the availability section below).

For readers who want the story first and the physical collection later, digital is an excellent starting point. Many fans read digitally and then buy their favorite volumes in print for the shelf.

Volume 17 — Special Edition

The final volume, Vol. 17, was released by Yen Press in English as a Special Edition titled “A Piece of Memories.” The physical English Vol. 17 is exclusively the Special Edition — there is no separate standard physical edition. For dedicated fans collecting the complete set, this is the version to get; it contains bonus epilogue chapters, supplemental short stories, and exclusive content from the 2021 Horimiya traveling exhibition — rounding out the full 17-volume set with extra material that complements the main story, which concludes in Vol. 16.

Key Volumes That Define the Romance

One of Horimiya’s greatest strengths is how quickly and naturally the central romance develops. Unlike many romance manga that stretch the tension of “will they get together?” across dozens of volumes, Horimiya lets its couple actually be together — and then explores what that relationship looks like day to day. Here are the volumes that define the experience.

Volume 1 — Secret Lives Collide

Everything starts here. Kyouko Hori is popular, put-together, and competent at school — but at home she’s a harried caretaker for her little brother, dressed down and unglamorous. Izumi Miyamura is quiet and glasses-wearing at school, seemingly forgettable — but outside school he’s pierced, tattooed, and nothing like his classroom persona.

When they accidentally discover each other’s hidden sides, the premise clicks immediately. Volume 1 establishes the dynamic that carries the entire series: two people who feel seen by each other in a way nobody else manages. It’s warm, it’s funny, and it moves faster than you’d expect.

Volume 3 — Beyond Friendship

By the third volume, the relationship between Hori and Miyamura deepens past the “are we friends?” stage in a way that feels earned rather than rushed. Many readers point to this volume as the moment Horimiya hooks them for good. The emotional honesty between the two leads is striking — they talk to each other like real people, with awkwardness and vulnerability that romance manga doesn’t always allow.

If you’re testing the series and wondering how far to read before deciding, Volume 3 is a fair checkpoint. If this volume doesn’t grab you, the series may not be your thing. But for most readers, this is where the commitment locks in.

Volume 6 — The Relationship Moves Forward

Without spoiling every detail, Volume 6 is where Hori and Miyamura’s relationship progresses past the early dating stage into something deeper and more committed. To put it plainly: they become a real couple earlier than most romance manga would allow, and the series then explores what it means to actually be in that relationship rather than just chasing one. This is genuinely rare for the genre — most romance stories save their big relationship milestones for the very end.

This is the volume that separates Horimiya from much of its genre. It’s not afraid to show a relationship that’s already happening rather than one that’s perpetually about to happen.

Volume 10 — The Supporting Cast Shines

By this point in the series, the supporting characters have become fully realized people with their own romantic storylines and emotional stakes. Volume 10 gives the spotlight to several of these storylines, broadening the series’ emotional range beyond just Hori and Miyamura.

What makes this work is that the supporting character romances don’t feel like filler — they feel like the natural result of a story that cares about its entire world, not just its protagonists. If you love stories where every character matters and has their own journey, this stretch of the series is deeply satisfying.

Volumes 15–16 — Converging Toward the End

The final character storylines begin converging as graduation approaches. There’s a bittersweet quality to these volumes — the awareness that high school is ending, that the daily routines and small moments that defined the series are finite. Volumes 15 and 16 handle this with a light touch that never becomes melodramatic. The emotion comes from how well you know these characters by now, not from manufactured drama.

Volume 17 — Epilogue and Closure

The final volume delivers the emotional payoff for the entire collection. It’s an epilogue in the best sense — not a dramatic climax, but a quiet, satisfying look at where everyone ends up. After 16 volumes of watching these characters grow, Volume 17 gives them (and you) a proper farewell.

This is the volume that makes the full set feel worth it as a single, complete object on your shelf. The story has a real ending, and it sticks the landing.

Availability Watch — Are Any Volumes Hard to Find?

Horimiya is a popular completed series, which generally means good news for availability. Yen Press keeps popular titles in print, and because the series is finished and well-known, new batches of copies tend to get printed regularly.

That said, physical manga volumes do temporarily go out of stock between printings from time to time. The volumes most likely to experience temporary stock gaps are:

• Volume 1 — always the highest-demand volume for any series, since every new reader starts here
• Mid-run volumes (roughly Volumes 5–10) — these sometimes lag behind in reprint priority compared to the first and last volumes

If you find a specific volume temporarily out of stock at one retailer, it’s worth checking others before assuming it’s unavailable. Try Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, or your local bookstore — physical manga availability can vary between stores even on the same day.

Digital as a Safety Net

This is where digital really shines as a backup plan. If Volume 7 is out of stock in paperback and you don’t want to pause your reading, the digital version on Kindle, Kobo, or BookWalker is always available. You can fill in the physical copy later when it’s back in stock, and you haven’t lost any momentum in the story.

For collectors building a complete physical set, patience usually wins. Horimiya is far too popular for any volume to stay out of print permanently. Short-term gaps resolve themselves — it just takes a bit of waiting.

A Finished Series That Stays Complete

One question that comes up with any completed manga: is there more coming? A sequel? A continuation?

As of now, the answer is straightforward. The manga finished with chapter 122. No sequel manga has been announced. Your 17-volume set is the complete story, full stop.

The Anime Connection

Horimiya has been adapted into anime — animated TV series based on the manga’s story. Two anime seasons exist, and the anime is what brought many readers to the manga in the first place. If you watched the anime and are wondering whether you need to start reading from Volume 1, the answer is yes — the manga is more detailed, covers more character storylines, and gives the supporting cast significantly more room to breathe. Scenes and relationships that the anime condensed or skipped entirely are fully developed in the manga volumes. Starting from the beginning is well worth it even if you know the broad story beats.

The Webcomic Origin

Horimiya began life as a webcomic — a comic published online — by HERO. The manga by Daisuke Hagiwara is the expanded, professionally illustrated version of that original story, with significantly more refined art, deeper character development, and additional scenes. If you’re wondering which version to read, the 17-volume manga is the one to get — it’s the most complete and polished telling of the story.

The core point: your 17-volume set is the whole story. There’s no risk of needing to buy future volumes to get the complete experience. What you see on the shelf is what you get, and what you get is a finished romance from first meeting to epilogue.

Who Should Collect Horimiya

Not every manga is for every reader, so here’s an honest look at who will get the most out of this series.

You’ll Love It If…

• You want a complete, self-contained high school romance with no loose ends. The story starts, develops, and ends within 17 volumes. Nothing is left dangling.
• You’re tired of romance manga where the couple doesn’t get together until the final chapter. Horimiya’s central pair progresses naturally and early. The series is about being in a relationship, not just yearning for one.
• You value comedy alongside genuine emotional depth. Horimiya is frequently hilarious — the comedic timing is sharp and the character interactions are genuinely funny. But it also knows when to be quiet and sincere, and the tonal shifts never feel jarring.
• You’re a beginner looking for your first romance manga. At 17 volumes, it’s a mid-length commitment — long enough to feel substantial, short enough that you won’t be collecting for years. The storytelling is accessible, the art is clean and expressive, and the romance is satisfying from early on.

It Might Not Be for You If…

• You prefer slow-burn romance where tension builds over a very long series. Horimiya’s pacing is brisk by romance manga standards. If the anticipation of “when will they finally get together” is your favorite part of the genre, this series resolves that question much earlier than most.
• You want intense drama or high-stakes conflict. Horimiya is fundamentally a gentle series. There are emotional moments, but it’s not built around major dramatic confrontations or love triangles.

As a Shelf Piece

Seventeen matching spines from Yen Press make for a clean, contained set on a bookshelf — not so large that it dominates a shelf, not so small that it disappears. For collectors who care about the visual presentation of their library, a complete Horimiya run is one of the more satisfying sets in the romance manga space.

Whether you’re starting your first manga collection or adding to an established one, Horimiya earns its shelf space. Grab Volume 1 and see for yourself — the story does the rest of the convincing on its own.
