In the quiet town of Biei, where winter lingers longer than most places and snow blankets everything in silence, eighteen-year-old Hikari Hayashi lives a life no one sees. Behind closed doors, she endures daily abuse from her father, trapped in a home as cold and suffocating as the snowfields she wanders to escape.
But everything changes the night she collapses in a storm and is found by Kyo Kondo, a tall, soft-spoken boy recently moved from Tokyo. Living with his grandfather—a retired ice sculptor—Kyo offers her warmth without questions, and a place to breathe.
As the days pass, Hikari finds unexpected solace in Kyo’s strange hobby: sculpting snow creatures in the middle of nowhere. Together, they create more than frozen art—they build trust, carve out healing, and leave behind silent messages scattered across the white expanse. But as her home life grows more dangerous, Hikari must decide whether she’ll let her pain consume her, or finally step into a life she’s never known: one of choice, and freedom.
Set against the stillness of winter and the fragile beauty of snow, Snowfield is a quiet, emotional story about survival, self-expression, and finding warmth in the unlikeliest of places.
