What Happened Previously On Horimiya: The Missing Pieces?
During their class trip to Kyoto, Hori, Miyamura, Yuki, Toru, Shuu, and others embarked on an exciting adventure, and Yoshikawa was thrilled to visit Kyoto for the first time. While having a pleasant walk, Hori asked Miyamura about his bathing arrangements for the public bath. Although Miyamura seemed prepared, he expressed uncertainty about fully enjoying the trip.
As everyone made their way to the public bath, Miyamura decided not to enter, frightened that his secret tattoos would be revealed. On their way back to their rooms, Hori kindly offered her bathroom to Miyamura.
At school, Ayasaki accidentally splashed Miyamura, sparking her curiosity about his constant covering up, raising everyone’s suspicions. Worried that Ayasaki would uncover his secret, Miyamura confided in Ishikawa, which led to a heated debate about uniform preferences involving Sengoku. Later, Sengoku and Miyamura approached Yasuda to discuss avoiding swimming class, resulting in a compromise that required them to clean the pool area. The episode ended with Shu seen in the pool, trembling with fear.
