NOTE: NSFW because of some themes of depression and SH. Spoilers too.

Before you guys (Especially DarkUmbreon18) get mad at me, this is not a bad series. I'm calling it terrible, because no matter how many times I read/watch it, I can't help but cry each time.

There's an interesting quote I found one day.

"A man cannot step into the same river twice, because it is not the same river, and he is not same man." -Heraclitus

This is how I feel about Horimiya. Every time I watch the series, I'm a different person. I notice different things.

For example, in episode 5, there's this scene I never bothered about before.

Tooru in his room after Miyamura told him he is going out with Hori

Tooru obviously feels bad, because he had feelings for her first. However, he is still friends with Miyamura, and doesn't want to let his past crush ruin his friendship.

Tooru comforting Miyamura (in a totally platonic way)

I'm surprised about how much there is to learn about the series.

Additionally, one more (depressing) thing I learned was that >!Miyamura's piercings could have been a type of SH. The fact that it is only implied reveals a lot about depression, and how it takes effort to notice it in someone.!<

I love how this series forces us to understand certain moments, rather than blatantly telling us when a character is struggling.
