The official Netflix Japan Anime Twitter account celebrated the news with a screenshot of Subaru and the #1 show on the service. Take that, literally everything else on Netflix in Japan! Ram is the queen now!

Natsuki Subaru, an ordinary high school student, is on his way home from the convenience store when he finds himself transported to another world. As he’s lost and confused in a new world where he doesn’t even know left from right, the only person to reach out to him was a beautiful girl with silver hair. Determined to repay her somehow for saving him from his own despair, Subaru agrees to help the girl find something she’s looking for…
