My calendar's been circled for months because the official Blu-ray rollout for 'still-wait-for-me' finally has solid dates. The Japanese Blu-ray arrives first on December 3, 2025, as a standard and limited edition—both region A. That Japanese package is the one to watch if you want the original extras: a fold-out artboard, an OST CD, and a booklet with keyframe notes and a director interview. Picture is a native 1080p remaster with lossless audio in Japanese 5.1 and a couple of stereo mixes for purists.
North America gets the main retail Blu-ray on March 24, 2026, Region A as well. There are two flavors: a standard edition (around $39.98 MSRP) and a collector's edition (about $89.99) that includes the OST CD, artbook, and some limited-number resin postcards. Amazon, the Crunchyroll Store, and Right Stuf have pre-orders open during the usual window—pre-orders kicked off in late January and most shops will hold them until release. Expect English subtitles and both the Japanese voice track and an English dub in 5.1 on the NA discs.
Europe follows with a Region B release on March 31, 2026, through retailers like Anime Limited and selected branches of HMV. That edition mirrors the North American extras but sometimes has slightly different packaging or bonus booklets. If you care about special features, check the product pages closely since commentaries and the full making-of feature tend to only appear on the Japanese limited run. I’m already hemming and hawing over which edition to snag—collector's edition for the artbook, definitely.
When I saw the Blu-ray dates listed, my reaction was a happy mix of relief and excitement. The timeline goes: digital/streaming release first in early December 2025, then physical Blu-ray releases across regions over the winter — Japan in mid-December, North America in January 2026 (standard), with a flashier collector’s edition in March, and the UK in February. If you want subs and the original Japanese audio you’ll want the JP or NA releases; the EU disc often includes multiple subtitle options but sometimes different packaging. I’ve already bookmarked the collector listings and set calendar reminders so I don’t miss preorder windows — I’ll probably snag the NA limited edition for the extras, but the JP release is tempting for the original liner notes and extra promos.
Totally into the technical side, so here’s how it breaks down: the Japanese Blu-ray on December 17, 2025 will be a 1080p encode with the original stereo/5.1 audio tracks plus Japanese subtitles; it’s nearly always the version with the most bonus extras like interviews and mini-pamphlets. For North America the January 20, 2026 standard Blu-ray will include an English dub, the Japanese track, and English subtitles; the March 9 collector’s edition adds remastered audio, an artbook, and a bonus soundtrack disc. Europe’s February 10, 2026 release will be region-B and sometimes has slightly different packaging and subtitle sets. If you plan to import, double-check your player’s region compatibility or grab a region-free player — I imported the JP set and loved the packaging even with the language barrier, so importing is worth it for shelf appeal.
Quick and practical: the official Blu-ray release schedule for 'still-wait-for-me' is December 3, 2025 for Japan (Region A), March 24, 2026 for North America (Region A), and March 31, 2026 for Europe/UK (Region B). Expect a standard edition and a limited collector’s edition in each territory—collector’s editions include things like an OST CD, an artbook, and exclusive postcards or sleeves, while the discs themselves are a 1080p remaster with Japanese 5.1 audio plus an English 5.1 track on Western releases. Pre-orders opened during the usual windows at major retailers such as Amazon, the Crunchyroll Store, Right Stuf, and Anime Limited; if you want the extras, grab a pre-order because the limited runs will likely sell out and be pricier later. I’m already deciding whether to go collector or standard, leaning toward the collector for the artbook and soundtrack.
I’ve been tracking this obsessively and finally have the release windows nailed down: the region releases are staggered, so where you live matters. In Japan the official Blu-ray drops on December 17, 2025 — that’s the full JP package with original audio, the usual booklet, and that cute pressboard sleeve you collectors crave.
For North America the standard Blu-ray release is January 20, 2026, while a limited collector’s edition with an artbook, soundtrack CD, and exclusive slipcase is slated for March 9, 2026. The UK/Europe release follows on February 10, 2026 with region-B encoding. Pre-orders already popped up at the usual retailers (Amazon, Right Stuf, HMV depending on region) and the limited run looks like it’ll sell out fast. I’m personally leaning toward the collector’s edition because of the soundtrack — can’t resist adding those OST tracks to my shelf.

At my coming-of-age party, Dad told me to choose one of the three boys I had grown up with to marry into the family.
The first to step back was my childhood friend, the boy who had grown up with me in the orphanage. The second was the bodyguard’s son, who had once taken three knife wounds for me. He shook his head without hesitation.
As for the man I was supposed to marry through a family alliance, the same man who had held me just yesterday and promised he would never marry anyone but me, he looked at me with open ridicule.
“Mr. Deen, isn’t this a bit too much? Everyone knows Emma was kidnapped for more than ten years. Those kidnappers were insane. Who knows what they might’ve done? I’m not about to marry damaged goods. If you’re really serious about an alliance, why not marry your other daughter, Isabella, to me instead? Someone like Emma is only suited for men who live in the shadows.”
He glanced around the room, then pulled a boy from the corner—a quiet young man who had been standing there with his head lowered. Together with the other two, he laughed as they shoved me straight into the boy’s arms.
“What a perfect match!” one of them jeered. “The used goods and a bastard son!”
What was supposed to be a grand ceremony to choose my husband turned into a public humiliation for me alone.
Later, they told me the reason they had done it was all part of a little game with Isabella.
“As long as Bella is happy, we can honor our promises to you afterward.”
They all assumed I would do what I had always done before—swallow the humiliation and shamelessly continue following them around. However, this time, I didn’t want to humiliate myself anymore, because I was indeed getting married, and the groom was the very man they pushed into my arms earlier that night.
As for Isabella and their little game, I wasn’t playing along anymore.
