Instead, the characters serve as inspiration for their own fantasies and fan-created content. However, sports anime also pulls in LGBT fans hoping for legitimate representation.

I was one of these fans. While I still enjoy sports anime — Haikyuu!! I went into Yuri!!! In a flashback, a young Yuri watches Victor skate on TV and reacts in a way that mirrors a sexual awakening. I saw echoes of myself in Yuri — many gay or bisexual teens experience a similar awakening because of a favorite celebrity — but as I expected, the implication that Yuri had a crush on Victor initially remained just that: an implication.

In the present day, Yuri still admires Victor and even has posters of Victor in his room. The girls post the video online and it goes viral, eventually reaching Victor himself.

It goes without saying: this is pretty dang gay. Still, I stuck with Yuri!!! By episode 4, Yuri feels comfortable enough with Victor to open up about his insecurities, particularly his experiences with people violating his boundaries and his struggles with forming new relationships. Victor listens to him closely and reassures him without pushing Yuri past his comfort zone. As someone who struggles with social anxiety, this interaction touched me deeply.

I found myself relating to Yuri on multiple levels: his mental health struggles, his implied gayness, and his gender nonconformity. When Victor choreographs a short program with the theme of erotic love, he challenges Yuri to tap into his sensual side. Like myself and many other LGBT people, Yuri becomes more comfortable with his sexuality when he steps outside of gendered assumptions.

The more time Victor spends with Yuri, the more we see his mask slip. His over-the-top and highly sexualized flirting gives way to quieter moments of connection and vulnerability. Through his narration, we learn that Victor desperately wants to make Yuri happy and worries about letting him down as a coach. Yuri is understandably distraught, and the argument that ensues forces Victor to confront his inexperience and motivates Yuri to prove himself to Victor and the world.

This scene humanizes both characters and makes their relationship feel more genuine because of its flaws. I became increasingly invested in the relationship — and, by extension, increasingly prepared for disappointment. Yuri skates a less-than-spectacular long program without Victor supporting him, but his high score in the short program allows him to scrape into the finals.

He returns to Japan and shares an emotional reunion with Victor at the airport. This scene, even more so than the kiss, made their relationship real to me. As I watched Victor and Yuri run to each other while maintaining eye contact! I cannot stress that enough, folks! I was watching a sports anime about two men falling in love. The floodgates opened, and I felt years of disappointment and cynicism start to melt away.
