The Difference Between Being Loved and Being Seen

Horimiya, Smoking Behind the Supermarket With You, and The Apothecary Diaries all build romance in very different ways, but they keep returning to the same feeling: being understood by someone who sees the part of you most people miss. From Hori and Miyamura’s lives outside school, to Sasaki, Yamada, and Tayama’s quiet evenings behind the supermarket, to Maomao and Jinshi seeing past the roles everyone else responds to, this is why being seen can start feeling so much like love. #anime #horimiya #apothecarydiaries #huno
