Play It Cool, Guys follows four guys who exude a cool and cold aura that makes them seem intimidating. However, these four guys aren't as cool as they seem once people look past that. In fact, they're actually more dorky, awkward and clumsy than they are suave, and this combination makes them endearing to watch.

Play It Cool, Guys is currently streaming on Crunchyroll. Episode 20 "Tomodachi," airs on March 7. Fans can catch the live-action adaptation on April 14.
