This was a very nice little romance anime. The two main
characters were really cute and had a fun dynamic. It’s not often you get a
series where the male lead is a soft blushing fellow always getting embarrassed
and freaking out over his love interest. And the way it’s expressed using his “Yuki-onna”
heritage was super fun (especially the snowmen). In fact, the whole ‘fantastical
creatures’ aspect of the series, with many of the characters being descendants
of famous Japanese mythical monsters (?) was a cool premise. The only problem I
really had with this series is focus; I would have loved it if we could have
seen much, much more of the main pair, and less of the side characters. The
side characters had their own charm, but they weren’t nearly as interesting to
me as the main guy and gal. Adult, office romances, are few and far between,
and having screen time divided up among all the various office-people caused me
to kind of lose interest. Needed them to spend more time on the title folks.
All in all, a fun read. I believe the manga for this has recently been
licensed; I may check it out, but not sure yet. Will definitely peep a season 2
if they make one though.
TL;DR 8/10
