COTE: The Snow Queen's 2nd Year

A new school year begins at Advanced Nurturing High School, welcoming Shirayuki and the newly designated Class 2-A-formerly known as Class 1-C. With last year's trials behind them, a more complex landscape awaits.

The familiar gauntlet of special exams remains, but fresh turbulence brews with the arrival of the new first-years-each one holding potential, secrets, and in some cases, ties to dangerous forces outside the school. Among them are the charismatic and sharp-tongued Vivian Kiryuin, cousin to both Shirayuki and Fuka; the enigmatic Tsubasa Nanase, whose past is cloaked in questions; and others who may very well have been sent from the White Room.

As alliances deepen and fractures begin to form, Shirayuki must now navigate a battlefield that extends far beyond classroom walls. With influence that touches class rankings, the Student Council, and even the political elite of Japan, her role becomes that of both protector and manipulator. Every step is a move in a larger game, where the wrong play could ripple into national consequence.

No longer content to be a shadow behind the curtain, Shirayuki faces threats on all sides. As a new special exam unfolds-subtle, silent, and unlike any before-it becomes clear that the true battle is not just for Class A, but for control of the future itself.

This year, survival may matter more than victory.
