Horimiya Episode 9 Spoilers
In episode 8, the focus of the show temporarily shifts towards the supporting characters. Izumi dreams that he is visiting his younger self and telling the profoundly lonely and depressed boy to hold on a little longer and that things will get better. Elsewhere, Remi recalls how she fell in love with the weak but kind and wonderful student council president. Kakeru’s parents have a big library at home. It all started between them, with Kakeru sharing books with Remi.
Meanwhile, Kyoko has noticed how assertive and physical Izumi can be around Shindo and Honoka and wonders why he is mild and well-mannered around her. When Izumi asks her if she wants him to be loud and bold when he is with her, she says that it might be “kinda hot.” Izumi subsequently tries it out at school, with hilarious consequences.
A student from Remi’s class, named Akane Yanagi, asks Yuki out. With Toru’s help, she rejects Akane, believing him to be too good-looking for her. Yuki discovers that Akane has poor eyesight and initially thinks that he probably wanted to ask Kyoko out. When she tells Akane this, he assures her that he didn’t make a mistake. Episode 9 might focus on the upcoming sports festival.
