While it is not as popular as Valentine's Day, White Day is a staple holiday in Japan. Less about professing love and more about returning the favor for Valentine's Day sweets, it's the perfect holiday for the ever-considerate Japanese people. That includes all the anime and manga creators giving back the love from their fans:

White Day is traditionally the day when men give a reciprocal gift to the women who gave them chocolates or other sweets on Valentine's Day. While sweets like candy and marshmallows were once common, the gifts have become more diverse these days.
Sweet memories, bitter memories… maybe those memeories are what White Day is all about?
