Netflix has released an English-dubbed trailer for the second season of The Ramparts of Ice, offering a look at the latest chapter of this high school drama. The video highlights the series' new opening theme, "Escort," performed by the band THE BEAT GARDEN, while the ending theme, "Hanakage," is provided by Superfly. The second season officially premiered on Thursday, airing on TBS and its affiliated channels in Japan while streaming simultaneously on Netflix.
Directed by Mankyū at Studio KAI, the series continues to follow the complex social dynamics of Koyuki Hikawa, an aloof student who struggles to lower the emotional walls she has built around herself. The production features series scripts by Yasuhiro Nakanishi and character designs by Miki Ogino. The returning cast includes Anna Nagase as Koyuki and Shōya Chiba as Minato Amamiya, alongside a supporting ensemble that navigates the series' central themes of youth and interpersonal connection.
This adaptation is based on the webtoon by Kōcha Agasawa, which concluded its run in 2022 and saw its final volume published in early 2025. The franchise has maintained significant interest, having previously ranked on AnimeJapan's 'Most Wanted Anime Adaptation' list and receiving a nomination for the 69th Shogakukan Manga Awards. With the second season now underway, viewers can see how the studio expands on the source material's established character arcs.
