The second "baton pass" illustration in collaboration between the TV anime "The Ramparts of Ice" and "You and I Are Polar Opposites" has been released. Both are based on manga by Kocha Agasawa, with the first season of "The Ramparts of Ice Castle" concluding on July 2nd and the second season of "You and I Are Polar Opposites " beginning on July 5th. The illustration depicts Hikawa Koyuki from " The Ramparts of Ice " passing the baton to Suzuki from " You and I Are Polar Opposites." The first collaboration illustration, released in March, showed Koyuki receiving the baton from Suzuki, so this time the composition is reversed.
"The Ramparts of Ice" is a popular work that has surpassed 190 million cumulative views on "LINE Manga" and has sold over 2.8 million copies of its comic books. It was serialized from January 2020 to April 2022. The story follows Hikawa Koyuki, who is not good at interacting with people and puts up walls between herself and others.
