Kan Colle, Love Live! Sunshine!!, Fate/stay night, and more.
Yesterday was Valentine’s Day, that special time of year when couples go the extra mile for a romantic evening together and when singles go the extra mile to stop being single. It’s celebrated in Japan too, although there it is especially centered around women giving chocolates to men they associate with — although romantic activities are part of it too.
Here are the top Valentine’s messages from the anime, manga, and Japanese gaming world:

Flying Witch
Eri Suzuki (Chinatsu Kuramoto) and Minami Shinoda (Makoto Kowata) show off “witch’s fingers” cookies, although they think they’re disturbingly realistic.

Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign
It’s the birthday of Aoi (Mitsuba’s older sister). She says she’d rather give chocolates to Kureto than have a birthday party.
