美しい君への愛の日を

When your childhood friend is more suave than you and you start questioning your appeal:

When you are just chillin and then all these feels come out of nowhere:

When you hit a wrong note on the piano and your self esteem starts to crumble

When you accidently spill ink all over your sheets:

nobody asked for this but you’re all going to see this

Me @ me: “Hey maybe don’t draw the entire first season of YOI from yakov feltsman’s perspective. That will take weeks and you’re an adult with a life”

…I did it.

Bonus:

Loosely based on this post.

YOI SELLS OVER 24,000 Blu-Rays in its first week!!

Congrats YOI fandom - we are very likely getting a season 2 now. These are MASSIVE numbers for anime blu-ray sales…! It also sold about 11K in regular DVDs, marking a massive total of 35,000+!

PLEASE SEE ETA BELOW

IMPORTANT ETA (January 6th):

Guys.

GUYS.

Today Oricon has issued an official statement apologizing for an error they made in counting YOI’s sales. Apparently the correction is this (Translation source):

YURI!!! ON ICE VOLUME 1 ACTUALLY SOLD 35,000+ Blu-Rays and 15,000+ DVDs - a WHOPPING TOTAL OF ALMOST 51,000 IN ITS FIRST WEEK!

51,000!!!!!

If you don’t follow anime disc sales - this is absolutely. Positively. PHENOMENAL. 

To give some context, this is the ranking of all-time anime series blu-ray/DVD total sales on average (Per volume). With just its FIRST WEEK’s worth of sales, YOI has already broken the top 10 (Right above Love Live!! Sunshine!). So if the number of sales grow in the next few weeks (Which they obviously will) and stay consistent throughout the subsequent volume releases, YOI will be one of the best-selling anime series of all-time in Japan.

OF ALL-TIME.

(We’ve made history y’all)

P.S. I don’t think we should just be anticipating season 2/Next Level at this point.
