In what is surely one of the strangest, unlikeliest and most heartwarming stories in my time as an anime fan, Hoozuki no Reitetsu did indeed meet and exceed Stalker estimates and is now the #1 selling series of the Winter season. V.1 sold 15441 combined, and V.2 (simultaneously released due to the delay in V.1) sold 11754 without an event ticket. And both will add substantially on Thursday.
Unbelievable. Inconceivable! A second season is a mere formality now.

While that's most likely true, judging by the fanart on Pixiv, I think the female audience fell hard for Hoozuki and Bai Ze (especially together), which might explain why the DVD sales are on par with the BD sales.
The guys probably took a liking to the girls. Peach Maki in particular seems very popular. Also, I think the art and animation looks fantastic, so that may have helped as well.

Since each episode contained 2 stories, I'd count the show as functionally having 26 stories. A relevant side question would be how many stories are there per volume on average? (There's probably plenty more stories left though.)
