I picked this up as a continuation of this series.
“The Ice Guy and the Cool Girl, Vol. 5” continues to follow Himuro, the descendent of a snow spirit, and his coworker, Fuyutsuki. In this volume, Fuyutsuki invites Himuro over to her house so they can spend some time together. Himuro is over the moon excited to hopefully finally make his move and make Fuyutsuki his special someone.
This continues to be a really sweet and wholesome story. Both Himuro and Fuyutsuki are a little awkward and nervous around one another, and it just feels so special to watch them try to navigate their feelings towards one another.
In this specific volume, Himuro and Fuyutsuki also get to spend a weekend with each other because of a work trip. This was my favorite part of the volume because Himuro is just precious to read about and Fuyutsuki really knows how to take care of him.
I do think this series needs a little more tension or something to grab my interest. I acknowledge there is some tension because Himuro wants so badly to be with Fuyutsuki, and there seems to be hiccups at every turn, but the story is starting to feel a little too cutesy for me. I want them to either be together or for a big plot point to occur!
I am curious to see where volume 6 takes us!
