Happy Valentine's Day from the Anime World! Part III

posted on by Ken Iikura-Gross & Joanna Cayanan
The anime and manga world gives "chocolates" to fans

Valentine's Day in Japan has traditionally been a day for, generally, women to give chocolates to the boys and men in their lives. Some have romantic intent, some give out of friendship, and others give due to obligation to those important in their lives. As the years have gone on, the tradition is shifting to allow all people to give some sort of sweet gift to those important to them. For those in the anime and manga industry, those important people are the fans. So, what sort of “sweets” and Valentine messages have your favorite people in the industry sent out? Here's a sample:
