Happy Valentine's Day From Around the Anime World, Part II

posted on by Ken Iikura-Gross
Featuring Demon Slayer, Final Fantasy, Oshi no Ko, Samurai Troopers, Doraemon, Square Enix, Mega Man, & more!

Many Western countries mark Valentine's Day with children giving cards to friends and couples sharing a date night. In Japan, though, women also hand out chocolates to their friends and colleagues. They're known as giri chocolates (chocolates given out of obligation), but quality-wise, they can be more like girigiri chocolates (barely chocolates). Chocolate or not, here are some greetings to savor:
