Although Himuro seems expressionless, he is a cute and warm person inside. The only problem is that the fuzzier he feels, the colder the weather gets around him. You might have to battle a blizzard if you encounter him on a particularly happy day.

As you would expect from him, Himuro also can’t bear the sun well. He has to take care not to melt in the heat.

His colleague, on the other hand, is a very kind person and the foremost reason why Himuro always ends up flustered. Can this workplace comedy reach its fruition before the entire office complex is frozen? The answer lies in the upcoming anime.
