On March 14, Japanese people celebrate White Day — a holiday like Valentine's Day, except traditionally boys and men would give marshmallows to girls and women (especially those who gave them Valentine's chocolates). Over the years, it has slowly shifted closer in spirit to Valentine's Day, with anyone giving that special someone a gift of sweets. The anime and manga worlds are handing out their White Day treats:
