The manga was adapted from the original manga series "Hori-san to Miyamura-kun" by HERO which was released on February 2007 on HERO's website Dokkai Ahen in a four-panel format. Square Enix compiled the chapters in 10 volumes under its imprint Gangan Comics between October 22, 2008 and December 28, 2011.
Daisuke Hagiwara launched the manga series in Square Enix's Monthly G Fantasy on 2011 with HERO supervising the manga. As of September 2020, the manga has been collected into 15 tankobon volumes.
The manga inspired a TV anime adaptation by CloverWorks with Masashi Ishihama serving as the series director. Takao Yoshioka is working on the series composition and script.

The series is currently airing since January 9, 2021 in Japan and is listed with 11 episodes.
English publisher Yen Press describes the series as:
At first glance, the ultra-popular Hori-san seems like a frivolous high school girl, but in reality, she's plain, pragmatic, and family-oriented. On the other hand, the bespectacled Miyamura-kun comes across as an average, gloomy high school fanboy, but he's actually an attractive young man who has a bad-boy streak and is covered in piercings and tattoos. When these two unexpectedly similar classmates have a random run-in outside of the classroom, a bubbly, sweet tale of school life begins!
B: The Beginning, originally titled Perfect Bones, is an original net animation (ONA) anime series animated by animation studio Production I.G. The first season of the anime aired on March 2, 2018 worldwide on Netflix with 12 episodes.
