The Ice Guy and the Cool Girl Manga and More New Acquisitions Announced from Square Enix
Square Enix Manga and Books announced a short slate of new acquisitions scheduled to release later this year, including the original manga of The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague and much more. Without further ado, the slate is featured below:
The Ice Guy and the Cool Girl
by Miyuki Tonogaya
Description:
Himuro is a modern-day ice god, an ordinary office worker who just so happens to be the descendant of a snow spirit. He’s also besotted with his coworker Fuyutsuki, who’s a little unusual herself. At first glance, the pair both seem to be calm, cool, and collected. But beneath Himuro’s icy good looks rages a passionate blizzard of love! On the other hand, his coworker’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?
The Ice Guy and the Cool Girl volume 1 is scheduled for release on October 10, 2023, and will be available for pre-order from Penguin Random House and other major booksellers starting today. The anime adaptation, titled The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague, premiered in January and is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.

The mysterious and dastardly man known only as the General within the evil organization plotting to take over the world is one of the top targets of Earth’s defensive unit, the Rangers.
