Fuyutsuki can’t wait to see where he grew up and to possibly meet a real snow spirit in the flesh, yet Himuro seems nervous for some reason.

The night I read this I received some extremely bad news that had me struggling with anxiety, and deeply appreciated the calmness and fun of this volume! It was exactly what I needed to help feel grounded and not focus on the news I had received!

I was absolutely thrilled that we got to meet family members from both our leads families! It was fun seeing how each member we met be VERY different then the lead, but also to hear about how our leads used to be. (Or in Himuro's case, some lore concerning snow spirits and how that affected the member we met. That was fascinating!)

The "developments" with Otonashi had me squealing!! Thank you Yukimin for being the person to help open her eyes!! I'm SO hoping something does indeed happen!

Also speaking of Yukimin, I had to laugh about what the cafe owner said concerning her and a certain somebody because YES! I'm happy with how things are, but I also can't stop myself from wanting more! LOL!

The chapter with Sakuba was surprisingly heartfelt! I was very happy with how Fuyutsuki came right out saying she trusted Himuro, but also that she had a better idea of what Sakuba was feeling. You go girl, and excited to see more of him in future volumes!

Definitely another fantastic volume, and hope we do get another one soon!

4.5 stars rounded up ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

A full five stars for the content that we get, but I’m docking this half a star for the amount of content (not a lot). Given that these are running $15/book now, making them so short and not even including author notes or anything extra at all is kind of pushing it. (I especially love author notes and sidebars and am always a little disappointed when they’re not included.)
This volume contains several pages after the last chapter that are completely blank save for the series title. Like—give us *something* there, dudes. I’d take adverts for other series, even, over this complete nothing burger. Meh.

If my spouse hadn’t surprised me with a set of these for a holiday gift, I would probably have continued to just borrow them from the library for that reason.

I will say that (previously stated objections aside) the volumes look gorgeous, with great paper and are sized to really show off the fantastic artwork. So that’s something!

COMMENTO PERSONALE: Era davvero molto tempo che non tornavo a parlare di questi due piccioncini. Finalmente, Fuyutsuki e Himuro si comportano da vera e propria coppia. Sono davvero pucciosi e dolci nello stesso insieme e sono davvero molto affiatati. Himuro in questo volume conosce il cugino della sua amata e si scatteranno una foto insieme. Si trovano a loro agio e anche se "minacciati" dall'esterno reggono sempre e comunque. Himuro guarda con occhi persi la nostra ragazza e nulla e nessuno può fargli cambiare idea. Anche lei però si svela essere completamente assorta e attenta al suo uomo. Uno di questi episodi interessanti riguarda l'incontro tra Fuyutsuki e la nonna di Himuro che era malata. Si tratta di una particolare donna delle nevi che al caldo acquisiva le sembianze di una vecchia in quanto fosse in grado di sciogliersi. É proprio come suo nipote e si augura con tutta serenità stessa che il seguente anno Fuyutsuki sarebbe tornata a farle visita. La sorella del protagonista invece decide di prendersi una pausa dal mondo stesso dell'amore. L'episodio però che ho apprezzato di più riguarda la presa di consapevolezza dei sentimenti di Katori (grazie alla sorella di Himuro) da parte di Otonashi.

😍 Un volume che colpisce subito per la copertina molto bella e per una prima tavola a colori davvero d’impatto. Tra i personaggi, il cugino di Mio si fa notare per il suo modo di fare adorabile, mentre Otanashi e Katori regalano momenti di pura dolcezza.
✨ Yukimin e Ryusei, pur non essendo una coppia, hanno una dinamica bellissima: la loro vivacità è contagiosa e rende ogni scena più leggera e divertente.
Interessante anche Sakuba, capace di cambiare forma a piacimento grazie alla sua natura da succube. Nonostante questo, porta con sé una certa solitudine, che però Mio riesce ad alleviare con la sua presenza.
💖 Molto tenero anche il momento in cui Yukiya presenta Mio a sua nonna (inaspettatamente giovane!), e ogni scena tra loro è davvero dolcissima.
A chiudere il tutto, un capitolo bonus che scalda il cuore.

This manga focused more on the side characters, while our main couple meets some family members. Himuro and Fuyutsuki meet her cousin and his grandmother - both were rather precious. And then we got some random adventures of Himuro's sister and her friend going to the same cafe (mostly from the cafe owner's perspective). We also got Saejima and the fox gal (I forgot her name) going on dates. Lastly, Otonashi and Katori discussing their feelings a smidge ~ which was a bit of a shocker. All in all, it was a solid volume. You can tell the core relationship is heading toward its final stages, and I'm okay with that! I still love the cast of characters.

[Heather’s Reading Bubble · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really like this series and even though the wait for this volume was so long it didn’t disappoint. The story and art were adorable as always. This is also one of the few series that I can say I like all of the characters, including side characters. The waiter might be my favorite one yet.

That being said the price for this tiny volume is ridiculous. I justify it by saying the art is so beautiful it could also be enjoyed as an art-book.

I really do love this series and recommend it to anyone, like myself that has a weak spot for office romance stories.

[Luana · Rating 3 out of 5]

Questa storia è sempre molto carina, una lettura veloce senza drama e angst gratuiti. Mi piace molto il fatto che non si dedichi spazio solo alla coppia principali (Himuro e Fuyutsuki stanno andando alla grande, mi sembrano anche leggermente più disinvolti), ma che ci si concentri anche sul resto della banda e sulle loro vicissitudini sentimentali - ad esempio, adesso sembra essere arrivato il turno di Katori e Otonashi. Vedremo quali saranno gli sviluppi nel prossimo volume 😎

[Jess | jadecanread · Rating 4 out of 5]

The main couple is still progressing, not so much at a glacial pace, but still pretty slow.

There's just so many side couples, it's hard to develop them all at the same rate.

Still cute, still low angst.

Recap: Meeting her younger cousin, realizing Phoenix has feelings for her and accepting, Himuro's little sister and her manager guy, succubus character and friendship, visiting Himuro's grandma who has 50 lovers lol, bonus of Himuro's birthday.

My printed manga was officially published by IPM in Vietnam. The published day dated back to February 2026.

In this volume, we met Fuyutsuki’s cousin and Himuro’s grandma. They were cute and full of surprises.

We also saw new developments of the minor couples.

🌺🤩❤️

Disappointed

It's been 11 volumes and they still haven't kissed? And all the chapters are short, cliche and have major high school vibes. They're supposed to be adults, but the character development has plateaued.

[Leanna · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very sweet installment! I like seeing a little bit from each of the couples, though due to the switching around I do wish these volumes were longer. I thought everything was enjoyable, but nothing super standout in this one.

[Jime · Rating 5 out of 5]

Es el volumen 11. Que emoción siquiera verlos llegar hasta este tomo. Los personajes después del último tomo, pensé y los vi nuevamente, han avanzado definitivamente. Me encantan los monitos de nieve. Me encantaría verlo en su adaptación al anime.

[Ania Marci · Rating 4 out of 5]

È talmente demenziale che continua a farmi ridere un sacco. Adoro tutto!

Exactly the breath of fresh air I needed... Now to wait for the next volume!

4.5/5 stars

I would kinda like if Sakuba joined the crew just cause he would be a new face that I think would fit well.

[Mk · Rating 4 out of 5]

these idiots continue to be cute

[Heather · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG!!! Another freaking adorable cute volume! I loved every chapter and laughed out loud so many times. Now I can't wait for the next volume for Otonashi and Katori.

[Diana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute but I want more! It’s going too slow.
