Synopsis

Two miles up in the unforgiving heights of Mt. Owari, hikers and friends Asai and Ishikura are hit by a blizzard and lose their way. Injured and sure of his imminent death, Ishikura confesses to killing a member of their university hiking club five years ago. However, Asai then stumbles upon shelter and carries them both to safety, only to realize that the confession has forever changed their relationship—and that the brutal elements may no longer be the most deadly threat around.

Story: Two friends who frequently climb a mountain get caught in a blizzard. In the confusion, one of them, Ishikura gets injured on a rock, and it's up to Asai to save him. After a while and ...

Mixed Feelings
Allow me to confess that this is not a bad read, but execution and short duration won't exactly put it on top with some of the finer examples.

The necessary pace for conveyance of such a story is avoided for the sake of quick culmination. The thrill is there, albeit it is questionable how well you'll be able to immerse yourself next to such predictability.

Characters quickly jump into their situational and predetermined roles. There are minor traces of deeper characterization, but are only seen under scrutiny and even as such remains mediocre.

Art doesn't really supplement the positive points of this work. Verily, it ...
