Based on the manga by Miyuki Tonogaya, The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague is being directed by Mankyu at studio ZERO-G and Liber, with series composition by Tomoko Konparu (Blue Spring Ride), character designs by Miyako Kano (Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It animation director) and music by Ruka Kawada (Is the Order a Rabbit?).

As previously reported, the story is described as such:

Himuro-kun, a descendant of a modern-day snow woman, is a newcomer to the company who creates snowstorm, snowman, and kamakura when his emotions get the better of him. His secret crush on Fuyutsuki-san, a unique but kind co-worker, grows so strong that it sometimes freezes those around him. On the other hand, Fuyutsuki-san, who is often seen as cool by others, is also very interested in the mysterious Himuro-kun.

Their relationship gradually changes through daily work and company events, and they also begin to spend time together in private, but both are clumsy in love and cannot close the distance one more step…
