Reader’s Question:
Can I buy the special edition Animate set of “Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun” directly at the store? I heard that they suddenly said that afterpay won’t be available, so I wanted to ask. Also, do you think it will sell out quickly? Just your guess is fine. Thank
you!
Getting My Hands on “Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun”
Oh man, let me tell you about my experience trying to snag that special edition Animate set of “Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun”! I was super excited when I heard about it, but then I got a bit anxious after hearing that afterpay wouldn’t be available. You know how it is—suddenly, that little financial cushion is gone, and your heart starts racing at the thought of missing out! So, I decided to hit the store directly. I remember arriving there a bit too early, like a kid on Christmas morning. I had this image of myself casually strolling in, maybe grabbing a coffee, and happily chatting with other fans. Instead, I found myself anxiously pacing back and forth outside the store, wondering if I should have brought snacks for this wait. Spoiler: I didn’t, and my stomach started growling at an embarrassing volume. As I finally stepped inside, I was greeted by that beautiful sight—shelves lined with colorful merchandise, including all the editions of “Iruma-kun.” I overheard a couple of fellow fans discussing how the store had varying stock levels, which made my heart drop a little. I mean, what if they sold out before I got my hands on one? One guy even joked that if they sold out, he’d have to resort to crafting his own version out of cardboard. I chuckled but secretly hoped it wouldn’t come to that! I asked one of the staff members about the stock situation, and they confirmed that while they did have some copies, it was a limited number. They suggested that if I wanted to guarantee my copy, reserving ahead of time would be the smart move. Honestly, I wished I had thought of that before making the trek. Lesson learned! By the time I got my special edition set, it felt like a little victory—like I had conquered a mini-mountain. I walked out of the store with a huge grin, clutching my prize like it was a trophy. It made all the waiting and worrying worth it. Now, I’m curious to hear from you all! Have you ever had a close call with limited-edition merch? Or maybe you have tips on how to snag those elusive items? Share your stories in the comments—I’d love to hear them!
