Horimiya
tv·TV-14·Jan 10, 2021·
Horimiya earns its 1/10 woke score by centering a classic heterosexual romance and school friendships between Hori and Miyamura, with zero identity politics or social-justice messaging.
Horimiya centers on the traditional heterosexual romance between popular schoolgirl Kyoko Hori, who manages her household, and her classmate Izumi Miyamura, whose hidden piercings and tattoos surface through everyday encounters.
The series follows classic high-school developments such as secret identities, school rumors, holiday gatherings, and group friendships across its episodes, all driven by straightforward romantic and friendship dynamics in an all-Japanese cast and setting. Core emotional arcs avoid any foundational premise involving identity politics, systemic oppression, or critiques of traditional norms, with no race or gender swaps and no DEI-driven casting. Minor fan speculation around male friendships or isolated joke lines introduces no creator intent for social-justice messaging. This results in the show's official overall woke score of 1/10.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
