A man who literally freezes everything when he's in love, working across the desk from a woman everyone thinks is cold but who's quietly, genuinely kind. The show knows the joke and refuses to explain it to death. Watching him panic silently while she makes tea nearby, unaware his emotional thermostat is about to bury the office in snow, never gets old. This is romance for people who find workplace small talk more interesting than dramatic confessions. It's slow enough that you notice when a glance lasts half a second longer than it should.
Himuro is a newbie office worker and a modern descendant of the yuki-onna, the snow woman of Japanese folklore. When emotions run high, literal blizzards manifest around him, or he starts building snowmen and igloos without meaning to. On his first day at the new job he meets Fuyutsuki, a coworker who helps free him from ice his nerves created. She's got a cool, composed demeanor, but she's genuinely curious about Himuro and offers simple, practical fixes for his icy troubles. As his feelings for her grow, his powers flare up and can freeze the people around him. What starts as awkward interactions at work gradually becomes something warmer, and the two begin spending time together outside the office. Both of them are clumsy when it comes to love, so they stumble through their feelings one small step at a time. The result is a workplace romantic comedy with a supernatural twist.
