Yuki no Joou

A tale based on a story by Hans Christian Andersen follows two childhood friends, an eleven-year-old girl and a twelve-year-old boy, who experience a dramatic change after a magical event. A shattered mirror belonging to a figure known as the Snow Queen spreads fragments across the world, each carrying a harmful influence. One of these fragments affects the boy, altering his behavior and causing him to become distant. Later, the Snow Queen takes the boy to a remote icy fortress. The local community assumes he perished after disappearing near a frozen lake. The girl, however, is convinced he is still alive, as she had a vision of him entering the Snow Queen's vehicle. Her belief is reinforced when another person confirms seeing the same event. Determined, the girl prepares for a journey to rescue the boy and return him to his home.
