He’s insecure in himself and his skating in part, we come to understand, because he’s unsure of his sexuality. The series gives me great hope and excitement for the gay romance genre and for the greater LGBT community.įor the uninitiated, Yuri!!! On Ice is the story of Yuri Katsuki, a Japanese professional figure skater who is thinking of retiring after failing miserably in the Grand Prix of Figure Skating finals. The animated figure skating series took the anime world-and the rest of the world-by storm. Even if you have no idea what Yuri!!! On Ice is, you’ve probably seen the artwork (I have it featured on my own FB page, by the way!). Recently, Facebook has been filled with references to Yuri!!! On Ice.
