The Ramparts of Ice is the story of Koyuki Hikawa, a timid high school girl who likes to keep her distance from everyone around her. Koyuki is a quiet and emotionally repressed girl, spending most of her days alone and away from her classmates, and avoiding friendships and social interaction when possible.
Then Minato Amamiya enters her life and her carefully constructed walls begin to crumble. Koyuki is determined to get to know her and Minato constantly encourages her to step out of her comfort zone. Along the way she bonds with a small group of friends including the bubbly and popular girl Miki and the relaxed basketball player Youta.
These unlikely friendships help Koyuki cope with the trials of adolescence, self-discovery and emotional bonding as the series progresses. The anime is a touching coming-of-age story about friendship, self-discovery and youth, with its endearing moments and relatable struggles.
