Horimiya is the shortened version of "Hori-san to Miyamura-kun." However, the title "Hori-san to Miyamura-kun" pertains to the four-panel manga by HERO. Horimiya, on the other hand, is the usual manga also by hero, but illustrated by Hagiwara Daisuke. The one I'm reading is Horimiya.
The story is about a responsible high school student, Hori Kyoko, who has good grades, is popular in school, but at the same time, takes care of their household especially his little brother, Hori Souta. The other titular character is Miyamura Izumi, a silent-type high school boy who has many piercings and a huge tattoo on his torso and upper arm. He is usually covered up in school, from his hair to his clothes, because he wants to conceal his piercings and tattoos. The two are classmates but they got closer because of an encounter outside school. Souta got lost while he and Kyoko were outside, and Miyamura was the one who helped Souta find his sister. Souta ended up liking Miyamura as an older brother, and that's why Miyamura kept visiting their house to play with Souta.
Screenshots (of Hori and Miyamura) from the OVA of Hori-san to Miyamura-kun.
The OVA is based from the 4-panel manga's illustration, and not from Horimiya. It was also cute though, because it's somehow a short version of the first few chapters in the manga.

The purple-haired guy in the screenshot is Ishikawa Toru, Hori and Miyamura's classmate. He became friends with Miyamura because of Ishikawa's feelings for Hori. Ishikawa confessed to Hori about his feelings but then got rejected. After he was rejected, he and Miyamura became good friends.

The yellow-haired girl is Yoshikawa Yuki, also a girl from their class and Hori's close girl friend. She is an air-head.

Lastly, we have Hori Souta, Kyoko's younger brother. Souta is close to Miyamura and plays with him a lot. He's a smart kid.
So that's it for the manga, Horimiya. I actually found out about this manga just last Monday and finished reading until the current chapter last Monday night. It only still has 26 chapters scanlated online and I really want to buy the manga magazine where it's being published, or the tankobon if it already is in one. The story's really fun and it got me into reading (new) manga again so I thank Horimiya for that. Haha! I hope it gets to have a full anime season in the future when it has material enough for a full season anime. In the mean time, I'll be waiting patiently (and in agony) for new chapters.
