Description
Himuro is the main male protagonist of this story, an office worker who is also a descendant of a Yuki-Onna, a snow spirit from Japanese folklore. Because of this heritage, he possesses supernatural abilities related to ice and snow, which are directly linked to his emotional state. While he outwardly appears as a tall, slender young man with silver-white hair and icy blue eyes, his inner feelings have a dramatic tendency to manifest in the physical world around him. For instance, when he feels tense or embarrassed, he might cause frost to form on nearby objects, and when he is truly flustered or happy, he can unintentionally create small snowstorms, snowmen, or even sheets of ice within his office environment. This unique condition makes managing his emotions a central part of his daily life.
Despite his chilling powers, Himuro's personality is warm, kind, and gentle. He is a thoughtful and deeply considerate individual, though he can also be reserved, shy, and prone to overthinking, especially in social situations. His desire for a normal life led him to seek a conventional corporate job, where he works diligently and is a reliable and organized colleague. He has a soft spot for beautiful things, such as flowers, and loves cats, though his naturally low body temperature often causes them to avoid him. This internal conflict between his gentle nature and his icy powers is a fundamental aspect of his character.
Himuro's primary motivation, and the catalyst for much of his personal growth, is his romantic affection for his co-worker, Fuyutsuki. He is deeply smitten with her calm and kind demeanor, and her acceptance of his unusual abilities provides him with a sense of peace and belonging he has rarely experienced. However, his feelings for her are so powerful that they often trigger his most intense supernatural reactions, causing snowstorms that betray his secret crush to everyone in the office except the very object of his affection. This leads him to constantly grapple with how to express his feelings appropriately, with the ultimate goal of capturing her heart and forming a genuine romantic connection with her.
Within the story's workplace setting, Himuro's role is that of a new employee who is both navigating his professional responsibilities and his burgeoning personal relationships. His interactions with Fuyutsuki form the emotional core of the narrative, as he learns to understand her and becomes more confident in his own identity. Key relationships in his life include his supportive circle of co-workers, such as the cheerful Komori and the perceptive Saejima, who become his friends. The progression of his romance with Fuyutsuki is a significant part of his development. Over time, he gradually moves from being a shy and nervous admirer to becoming her official partner, culminating in a heartfelt confession. As a couple, he continues to adapt, learning to navigate the new dynamics of their relationship, including dealing with minor jealousies, such as the arrival of a charismatic new colleague named Ambrose who takes a liking to him.
Himuro's notable abilities are a direct expression of his Yuki-Onna lineage. His powers are entirely reactive, tied to his emotional temperature. Strong concentration can lower the temperature in a room, while feelings of love, happiness, or anxiety can generate localized blizzards, piles of snow, or intricate ice sculptures. In a unique twist, exposure to significant heat is not just uncomfortable for him; it can physically regress him into a childlike state. Despite the potential for chaos, his powers are rarely malicious and more often serve as a whimsical, if inconvenient, barometer of his heartfelt emotional life.
