TOHO is getting their side of the promotion rolling for the series One Week Friends as they’ve got three new promos released this week for the series for when it hits DVD and Blu-ray next month. The series has already been announced as licensed by Sentai Filmworks, but for import fans who want Isshuukan Friends, they’ll be checking out these kinds of commercials. There’s a few details on how the twelve episode series will be released. The show is scheduled to begin its DVD and Blu-ray run monthly starting on June 18th, 2014 with two episodes per volume. The DVD releases will be priced at 6,264 yen each while the Blu-ray releases are priced at 7,344 yen each. Details about the show in full aren’t available yet but first press edition material for the first volume is slotted with a soundtrack CD, a booklet and a slipcover case. On disc extras include the clean opening and closing and the promotional videos with more planned.
Plot Concept: It is said that one of the qualities of a true friendship is to understand and be understood. Unfortunately, this can be easier said than done, particularly when it comes to being friends with someone that has no recollection of being your friend the week after befriending them. To become friends over and over, again and again… that is the goal of Yuki Hase when approaching schoolmate Kaori Fujimaya. You see, things aren’t so simple when your memory disappears. And that’s exactly what happens with Kaori – she’s always alone because she can’t commit anything to memory, even if that commitment is as special as a memory of one of her friends. No matter how cherished her memories are, they vanish by the time Monday rolls around. But Yuki won’t give up in the fight for friendship as he embarks on a new mission every week to befriend a person he already knows. In this friendship, everything that’s old is new again in ONE WEEK FRIENDS!
