Plot
Sparks melt two hearts in this coworkers-to-lovers romantic comedy between a handsome descendent of a snow spirit and his oblivious, aloof coworker.
Himuro is a modern day descendent if a snow spirit who’s also an ordinary office worker. He’s besotted with his aloof coworker, Fuyutsuki! At first glance, the pair both seem to be calm, cool, and collected. But beneath Himuro’s icy good looks r ages a passionate blizzard of love…on the other hand, Fuyutsuki’s cool facade belies nothing about any feelings she might have for Himuro in return— because she’s too oblivious to realize anything!
What’s a snowman in love to do?
Character Development
Himuro is our icy good looking descendent of a snow spirit. He knows his limits but can’t hide his feelings very well as each time he feels an emotion something snowy happens! He tries his best to keep his emotions under control. He’s very sweet but his snowy blizzards and inner monologue give away everything. He feels everything in deeply. He loves spring and cats.
Fuyutsuki is Himuro’s coworker he’s in love with. She’s cool and aloof but very sweet. She’s super cute too!she tries her best to become friends with Himuro since they work together. She is well liked at the office. She goes above and beyond to help others with their problems.
World-building
There isn’t a lot of world-building besides it being modern day but there are people descended from various spirits.
Audience question (Answer in the comments!):
What spirit would you want to be descended from and why?
Themes
Creating connections between others may become something more! You never know what fate has in store for you!
Observations & Predictions
We’re going to see a lot more of Himuro and Fuyutsuki’s relationship. Fuyutsuki will start coming around to the idea of seeing Himuro as more than just a friend.
I hope we also get to know their 2 main coworkers more.
