Hello everyone! I hope you enjoy my detailed psychological analysis of Horimiya, episode 7! I love that other characters got their camera time, and the parallel process between Hori (and Izumi) and her close friends.

Here's my takeaway from the episode:

1) Being nice and being kind are not necessarily the same thing (nice guys do NOT finish last, but nice guys who don't fight for what they want, do tend to finish last, however)

2) We need to fight for what we want in life, or we will see happiness escape us

3) Let's take back power by focusing on what we can control in life

Share your takeaways from this week's episode in the comment section!

Happy Sunday, yappers!

If they are far into Hokkaido (so almost anywhere outside Sapporo), there might not even be a store nearby that would have a specific charger. Remember that this chapter was written, in I think 2009 - where every goddamn phone had a different charger. A bit too much, but it's a funeral and mourning period. And going away from family for 6+ hours to get a charger might not be the best look. There are circumstances in which this would be understandable. But also maybe Izumi should have been more open with his family about the REASON to get a charger.

Sleep Paralysis - yeah had that for 20 years except I was waking up. Often it took me an hour to restore my limbs to full functionality. But it's horrendous when you wake up and can barely breathe and none of your limbs are working and you have to force the muscles that respond for goddamn half an hour to move other muscles so they can in turn move other muscles, so that you can finally drop from the bloody bed on the floor where cold starts to restore some feeling and motor capacity in the limbs. It especially sucks if you wake up needing to go to the bathroom and you might be able to slightly move your head - maybe. What is worse is sometimes I had this up to 40 times a night. I was so dead the next morning that I had negative sleep.

I always thought that Yuki (the blonde girl) says: "I'm so ugly" because she hates herself for thinking about throwing cookies away and being jealous and what she really thought about Kono Sakura. As for Miyamura and Hori - Izumi might not have brought Hori 99 roses, but he gave her something big....... yeah terrible joke. But I'm sort of glad they banged their differences aside....... another horrible joke. On more exact note in the web comic, Sota (little brother) kind of noticed (at least he heard from memory) their bedroom activity. So Izumi explained to him that he isn't taking Hori away from Sota, but he would like to have Kyoko (Hori's first name). Very mature of him. And I mean he basically was like an older brother to Sota for a long time already, so.... jump to "brother-in-law" (whether literally in law or not) isn't that big of a difference.

Also - there is a BIG post credits scene in episode 12 and credit scene is different in episode 13 and is part of the story I think (I'll have to watch it through to be certain).

It’s a tough age to try to fight for what you want in life when you’re a people pleaser. In a game or competition with clearly defined rules I was hyper competitive. I knew how to win. But socially where the rules aren’t clearly defined, I struggled with shyness and introversion. This show does such a great job of portraying that awkwardness without it feeling over dramatic.

Greg Boege

Damn, that's a freaking nightmare. I suppose at least after it has happened a couple times the absolute terror of it all would hopefully diminish, but I can't imagine what it would be like the first time. Not to say that when one gets used to it that it isn't bad, of course. Just saying the element not knowing would be so traumatizing.

Jan Negrey

Incredibly traumatizing. Like now I'm very lucky, because now it happens once or twice a month. It used to be everytime I slept at some point. I was a wreck. And because I also have problems with circulation, a lot of that stuff didn't go away after I was completely awoken. Which meant that for example I had to use "lumps" of meat that were my partially moving arms and massage my legs, which were completely paralyzed, whereas my arms were only partially paralyzed. Heat made them finally working, but because I didn't feel anything, many times I used cloth of my pajamas to rub my legs and then I would finally feel heat - and then I would realize (I couldn't get up to turn on the light) that I rubbed my legs so much that I have something close to 1st degree burns. They would be red and itchy and in pain for couple of days.

The opening scene is a flashback. Not too far back, but Miya still has his long hair

JAMES D'ALESSANDRO

Yes, that wholesome relationship went all the way, and poor Sota got to hear it all.

The only thing I scratch my head about is... why didn't Izumi text Hori: "Hey. My battery is dying and I forgot my charger. I'm sorry I won't be able to text til I'm home." or something to at least give Hori some peace of mind.
