Also, on White Day, guys have to give back 3 fold the chocolate that you had received on Valentine’s Day! (http://heart.okwave.com/culturezine/four_panel_comic_strips/53/1018/en) I guess it’s better to be a girl in Japan on Valentine’s Day after all.

My wife use to work for a card store in Ohio. She said they had something called Sweetest Day. Basically the same thing, corporate created holiday to sell more cards/candy/junk.

I do however like how White Day and the way they do Valentines day splits the responsibility.

Fortunately I think many Japanese wouldn’t be surprised to get a “weird” gift from a foreigner, so Hashi’s advice that we can mix it up still stands :)

It’s an anime thing. I know, I was sad too when I realized dating in Japan is not like a shojo manga. :(
