Ramparts of Ice Manga Gets Epilogue Chapter in Fan Book
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The official X (formerly Twitter) account for Kōcha Agasawa's The Ramparts of Ice (Koori no Jyōheki or Ice Castle Wall) manga announced on October 29 that the manga will have a fan book that will ship on January 4, and the fan book will include an exclusive new epilogue chapter set after the main manga series' final chapter.
The manga centers on Koyuki Hikawa, an aloof high school student who has a hard time getting close to others, and who builds a wall between herself and other people. Although she spends her time alone at school, for some reason Minato Amemiya keeps getting closer to her. The frustrating story of youth follows the lives of four somewhat complicated individuals: Koyuki and Minato, plus the popular girl Miki and the laid-back boy Yōta.
Agasawa (You and I Are Polar Opposites) originally serialized the manga as a webtoon on the LINE Manga app from January 2020 to April 2022. Shueisha published the manga's 14th and final compiled volume (with the manga reorganized for this print volume format) in February 2025.
The manga ranked at #15 for male readers in the 2024 edition of Takarajimasha's Kono Manga ga Sugoi! (This Manga Is Amazing!) guidebook in December 2023, and also was nominated for the 69th Shogakukan Manga Awards in 2023. The manga placed second in May 2024 in the "Vertical Scroll Comic" section of the second Rakuten Kobo E-book Awards. Additionally, the manga ranked #2 on AnimeJapan's sixth "Most Wanted Anime Adaptation" poll in 2023.
The first season of the manga's television anime debuted on April 2. Netflix streamed the anime worldwide. The second season debuted on October 1, and is ongoing. Netflix is once again streaming the anime.
