White Day Greetings — Anime Style (Part IV)

posted on by Egan Loo
Date A Live, Dragon Quest, Sanrio, Sirotan, Arcana Famiglia, Tiny x Machine Gun, Tokyo Yamanote Boys plus Justice League

In Japan, it's customary for women to give chocolates to men on Valentine's Day, and men return the favor on White Day (March 14). Below are some images that anime, manga, and game creators — both women and men — across Japan have posted to celebrate White Day.

Date A Live

"Fake Origami": Oh— Today's White Day… What do I do…!!

Dragon Quest X

The top three winners of the male character popularity contest were revealed with a wallpaper present.

Sanrio


Sirotan


La storia della Arcana Famiglia

The Animate store in Tokyo's Shibuya ward gave away White Day cookies & cards (with Nova art and a message by voice actor Tsubasa Yonaga) — but only to women. Yonaga appeared in person at the shop to sign autographs and to personally hand out the gifts.

Tiny x Machine Gun


Tokyo Yamanote Boys

March 14 also happens to be Iori Kirishma's birthday.

Bonus!
Justice League x Kore Janai

Warner Entertainment Japan muses that Justice League on White Day must be like those offices with lots of men.

There are many more anime/manga/game White Day greetings and messages out there, so if you know of one we've missed, feel free to let us know in our forums or by email (newsroom at animenewsnetwork.com). Happy White Day!
