The manga "Koori no Jōheki" by Kōcha Agasawa is being adapted into a TV anime. To celebrate this announcement, Agasawa shared a special illustration along with a message expressing her joy about the adaptation.
"Koori no Jōheki" tells the story of Koyuki Hikawa, a reserved first-year high school student who is called the "Ice Queen" by her classmates due to her distant demeanor and cool presence. She struggles to connect with others and spends most of her time alone—except for her childhood friend Miki Azumi. However, when Minato Amamiya, an outgoing and persistent classmate, enters her life, he tries to break through her barriers. With the support of Yōta, a quiet and warm-hearted boy, the four teenagers begin a bittersweet yet heartwarming school life together.
The manga won a special award at the Shueisha Shoujo Manga Grand Prix Powered by LINE Manga Indies 2018 Summer. It was serialized as a webtoon on LINE Manga from January 2020 to April 2022. The series gained immense popularity, ranking first in the women's manga category of the Comic Seymour 2022 Annual Ranking. It also placed second in the 6th "Manga We Want to See Animated" ranking at AnimeJapan 2023. In addition to the digital version, "Koori no Jōheki" was also released in print, with the vertical webtoon format converted into traditional manga panels. The final 14th volume will be released on February 14.
Agasawa expressed her surprise and excitement about the adaptation:
"During its serialization, I never could have imagined making such an announcement. I still can't quite believe it. Thank you so much!"
The celebratory illustration features Koyuki, Miki, Minato, and Yōta with cake and balloons, along with the text "Congratulations on the Anime Adaptation!" Further details about the cast and broadcast schedule will be announced in the future.
