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

posted on by Ken Iikura-Gross
Featuring Digimon, DanMachi, Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, Naruto, Persona 5, Spy Classroom, & 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:
