Freezing (フリージング, Furījingu?, Stylized as FREEZING in the English subtitle) is a Japanese-Korean manga series written by Dall-Young Lim and illustrated by Kwang-Hyun Kim. The former is the author of the manga Black God and the Korean manhwa Unbalance Unbalance, Zero, and Aflame Inferno (who the latter had illustrated). The series revolves around the invasion of Earth by an extraterrestrial force called the Nova, and a special force of genetically engineered young women called Pandoras, and their male partners, called Limiters, who are created to combat them. The story centers on Kazuya Aoi, a Limiter whose late sister was a Pandora, and Satellizer el Bridget, a Pandora with a cold personality who is known as the "Untouchable Queen" for her intense aphephobia, both enrolled at West Genetics Academy, a special school that trains Pandoras and Limiters alike to fight against the Nova.
Freezing began serialization in Kill Time Communication's seinen manga magazine Comic Valkyrie in its March 2007 issue. The first collected volume was released on October 17, 2010, with a total of fourteen volumes sold in Japan as of April 27, 2012 under its Valkyrie Comics imprint. On August 12, 2010, an anime adaptation produced by A.C.G.T was announced, and aired twelve episodes in Japan between January and April 2011 on AT-X and other channels. The anime is licensed in North America by Funimation Entertainment, who will be releasing the series in 2012.
Across the city you'll sleep alone, I followed
Lying wide awake until it comes, tomorrow
And you're the one who cared enough to break the plans made for us
You're freezing up
You're freezing
And you're freezing up with no good reason again
You're freezing up
You're freezing
You're freezing up with no good reason again
