Things are heating up in the frozen Arctic in a web-exclusive short for Koi Suru Shirokuma (“A Polar Bear Falls in Love”), a petite anime based on the humorous web manga by Koromo about a male polar bear who falls head over heels for a male harp seal.
The Koi Suru Shirokuma anime features Yūichirō Umehara as Shirokuma-san, a lonely and amorous polar bear, and Natsuki Hanae as Azarashi-kun, a seal who initially mistakes Shirokuma-san’s romantic advances as signs of hunger.
Described as a “white love story in the Law of the Jungle world” and also as a “heart-warming B.L. (Beast Love) comedy”, the original Koi Suru Shirokuma manga is published on the Pixiv Comic and Comic Walker websites.
