Freezing

Set in a near-future where Earth is under siege by alien beings called the Nova, Freezing is a long-running sci-fi action series from Bamboo Édition that began in 2010. The story follows young "Limiters" who are paired with genetically enhanced female "Pandoras" to form elite combat teams, focusing on the intense training and battles of a rookie Limiter and his powerful partner. Best known for its dynamic, fan-service-heavy artwork and high-stakes tournament arcs, the series became a staple of the publisher's catalog, blending mecha-style battles with dramatic character relationships. Its 33-issue run cemented its place as a key title for fans of bombastic, visually-driven manga-inspired European comics.
