【Now available from Futabasha Monster Bunko, and a comic adaptation is currently serialized on Manga Gaugau】

High school student Asahi Kagami lives alone in an apartment. His next-door neighbor, Himuro Fuyuka, is known as the "Ice Princess."

A young lady as cold as ice, who maintains an extreme distance from everyone, avoids unnecessary conversation, and keeps an impassive expression—that "Ice Princess" was, of course, supposed to be cold to her neighbor Asahi...or so it seemed.

"I can't eat any more... *sleepy murmurs*."

"Where did the 'Ice Princess' go...?"

Their relationship continues, neither too close nor too far, bound by a mysterious connection.

They share dinners, go out together on holidays, and eventually, sweet words are whispered.

As she stays by the side of Asahi, who is gruff yet caring, the ice encasing Fuyuka—who had rejected others and closed her heart—slowly begins to melt.

Winner of the 8th Net Novel Award, a slow-burn pure love story that is at times sweet and at times bittersweet.
