HOLDIN HANDS!?! 💖│HORIMIYA EPISODE 3 REACTION

[@farohreacts]

was anyone else kind of confused by the end there at all? Like did they confess or not?!?! ⁇

[@dobbuing]

hello! the japanese language can sometimes be quite vague, so the end is more of like a double meaning. 'suki' can mean 'i like you' but can also be generally used to express that you just simply like something (i like ____). hori does say 'i like you' first, but backpedaled and added '...your hand!" in a way for miyamura to not notice her sudden confession. but him on the other hand, took this chance to also [indirectly] confess to her, by actually saying that he likes her. however, as i mentioned before, japanese can be quite vague, so instead of hori taking it as an actual confession from miyamura, she thought he was also talking about liking her hand as well. i hope this explanation isn't too confusing, i just started learning japanese recently as well 😅 i rly love your videos btw! 💕 i always look forward to your horimiya and oshi no ko reactions every week! ☺️

[@farohreacts]

@@dobbuing aww you're so sweet! Thank you so so much for your thorough explanation! Not confusing at all! And thank you so much 😭 I'm so glad you like them!

[@NC-cs9gx]

the way you always get so emotionally invested in the characters makes these reactions a delight to watch😂

[@farohreacts]

I am simply an emotional wreck 🤪

[@KeiKatsuuu]

Out of all the reactors I've seen who watched this anime, you're the only one who realized that he pierced himself as a form of self-harm. He did all his piercings himself, I think it was stated too in the manga

[@alexjames4770]

I love the moment at the end of Toru and Miyamura’s rooftop conversation. How they juxtaposed Tori’s “you’re weird” with Miya’s previous bullying, then they add in the “but that’s ok” after Miya’s initial reaction, to show Toru doesn’t care that he’s weird, he likes him anyways. Toru is literally the coolest friend I’ve ever seen in a show lol.

[@gmbrusselsprout]

I can’t tell you how hard I related to Miyamura’s reaction too. It took me years for me to acknowledge that anyone could like me, like really like me, in that way; it didn’t help I was my own worst enemy in high school when it came to romance. I can still feel that years later; but now I can look back at that boy and smile; he was on his way! Present me would give him a hug, tell him it’s all going to be OK and that life will get sooo much better in ways he can’t even fathom! Just celebrated my 1 year wedding anniversary with the most beautiful and amazing woman in the whole world, can’t wait for the journey life takes me on next 😊😊😊

[@tobiaswedin]

Yes he did sneak in an actual confession, but she didn't notice xD It basically boils down to how the Japanese language works where "i love your hands" is chopped down to "hands, love" and his reply with first the "i love your hands too" (in Japanese chopped down to the very same two words "hands love") and then a "suki" which is the word for love but can mean "i love you" (but could also be interpreted as if he just repeated himself from the first statement). Confusing language to say the least, but source for a lot of confession mishaps in anime!

[@farohreacts]

oooo ok! thank u so much for the explanation 💖

[@kallistikaleid]

"You got that, Izumi?" HOW does that conversation hit harder that whole seasons of other rom-com animes?!? I seriously tear up every time I see Tooru tell him "But that's okay."

[@FauxFoxPaw]

You're one of the few reactors who noticed he peirced as a form of SH and now I'm crying. Thank you for being so perceptive and caring. Wow I cry a lot lmao...

[@farohreacts]

I can tell because I did it too 🥲 I think that’s why

[@FauxFoxPaw]

@farohreacts I'm so sorry to hear that. I wish you so much happiness! Thank you for great reactions once again!

[@chadwhiteclaw9214]

This is the best depiction of depression ive ever seen because having been suicidal this shit hits deeper than anything else but its very motivational and good vibes

[@11rfpro]

The Dub of this is actually 🔥

[@kallistikaleid]

This is where you really see the connections solidify. Not just the Hori and the Miya, but Toru clearly treasuring Moramiya as his buddy, even after Kyouko definitely chose Izumi instead of Tooru. I know the Student Council is hella face-punchable up to this point, but this anime was hailed as a rousing W specifically because of the attention and pacing the side characters received, even if it could have been better. I came to love almost every character by the end. Oh, I cherish seeing another reaction to Horimiya! That scene where the three of them just assume that they'll work with Izumi is a magickal sight.

[@brunoks6951]

4:15 Yo, Bromances are important, ok?!? Toru was like: "He is a idiot, but he is MY idiot."

[@farohreacts]

i love that so much

[@angelsambition2179]

I feel like at the end of this episode I guess you can call it a confession or at least it’s known that they have feelings for each other but I don’t think it was an actual confession to each other. But I guess that would be a confession right? 😂

[@farohreacts]

ahhh ok!

[@vlzvelazquez]

¡Amo tus reacciones, me emociono tanto como tu! 😊

[@farohreacts]

aww gracias

[@kallistikaleid]

AAAAAAAAHHHHH! How did I miss that you actually started reacting to the one anime I recommended?!?!?!?!?!? Going to episode 1 reaction immediately!!!! I do so hope you love this as much as My Dress Up Darling!

[@durango3063]

I had same experience in school when there were group projects i was the left one who had to be forced to some group....

[@redjone]

Did somebody ever told you that there is a reference to horimiya in my dress up darling, in the event where Marin wears her first cosplay, there are 3 girls cosplaying as girls from horimiya

[@farohreacts]

WHAT?! I NEVER SAW THAT

[@redjone]

@@farohreacts yeah it’s a pretty cool detail

[@KolLeviathan]

Yes the piercings were a form of self harm, this anime touches on a few subjects wonderfully

[@farohreacts]

ahhh thats so so painful to think of

[@KolLeviathan]

@@farohreacts truly! it really messed me up the first time watching it. it is such a relatable story in so many ways - will be watching your reaction to the whole thing!

[@jacksonisaloser8828]

PLEASE DON’T CRY MISS MA’AM IF YOU DO ILL START CRYING TOO😭😭😭 I love this show so much you reactions are amazing!!!!

[@farohreacts]

Jackson idk how to tell u this, but I am a whole ass crybaby 😭😭 let’s cry together 😭😭💖 Also ahhh tysm

[@jacksonisaloser8828]

@@farohreacts ofc and I’m a cry baby too I love romance/slice of life best genre in my opinion (I’m a hopeless romantic)

[@jebus7679]

Yeah, Miyamura's piercings were self-harm. That's why he can't easily give people an explanation for why he did it. He either doesn't want to admit it to them or he doesn't quite realize it himself.

[@farohreacts]

yeah it definitely felt like that watching the way he did it. it broke my heart seriously

[@BLANK96969]

Another awesome reaction. Keep at it😊 And I was confused at first too.

[@farohreacts]

aww thank you so much!

[@frankstendal]

started rereading the series before I read the new (and final) volume of the manga 😭

[@ankurmondal3220]

I used to be the quiet kid in class because I really didn't feel like I had any common topics of discussion with my classmates who most of the time were busy doing obscene commenting about girls and how some guy is super hot. I got excluded thus, and was perceived as gloomy. Fast forward now that I am in University, people are so accepting and and mature that we have lots of things to talk about and I am quite the talkative guy in class now 😂. Really shows how maturity in a class really is a important factor in these things

[@kallistikaleid]

I know, last comment, but I LOVE romances where romance......actually happens!!! It's why I'll never sit through Kaguya-sama. You either do it or not. I don't wanna watch months or years of "will they, won't they." Horimiya was my panacea.

[@theultimatewarlord69420]

At least that anime is an action-packed series. I would rather sit through that than a romance-centred anime that has already officialise its characters’ romantic relationship, because I am a lover for fighting, and if there’s no violence involved, it gets plainly boring. But, Horimiya is one of the only few I am delighted to stick with

[@9876Godzilla]

Okay, for context as to why Remi did what she did in the lunch room. She knows Hori has a thing for Miyamura but Hori was denying it to herself, so she came up with the plan of having Hori say her true feelings so she'd be forced into saying it and accepting it. Thats the thing she did in the lunch room. She doesn't really like Miyamura.

[@alecvip7562]

8:30 apparently that was a translation error. She said she liked him, not love him. Two entirely different implications
