The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague

How wonderful it is to see mature professional relationships in anime cannot be emphasized enough. These stories are far more meaningful to me as I become older and I think they're more relatable than most high school romance novels. With endearing characters, hilarious conversation, and some truly touching moments, The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague was an adorable and enjoyable journey through and through.

I was enamored with this series from the first episode. With the exception of the Yokai element, the setting feels genuine, and the artwork is among the best I've seen in the genre. It does a great job of giving us the impression that we are working with the characters in their office and experiencing their everyday lives. Narratively, the show is somewhat episodic, with the apparent goal of uniting the main couple and fostering a bond between them through work-related activities on a daily basis. It's a slow-burning tale in which the couple finds great satisfaction in their little, incremental successes. Going on a date, amusement park, etc. In short, don't anticipate anything significant.
