A new collaboration illustration has been released featuring the anime You and I Are Polar Opposites and The Ramparts of Ice, both based on works by Kocha Agasawa.
The artwork celebrates “Kocha Agasawa Anime Year”, a special project marking the consecutive anime adaptations of the author’s manga in 2026.
The illustration shows a symbolic “baton-pass” between the protagonists of both series. It highlights the transition between the end of The Ramparts of Ice Season 1, which finished on July 2, and the upcoming premiere of You and I Are Polar Opposites Season 2, scheduled for July 5 on Crunchyroll.
The second season of the TV anime The Ramparts of Ice is set to premiere on October 1 on Netflix.
