White Day's actually the day guys are supposed to be giving treats to the girls. Valentine's Day is the day that girls give chocolates to guys, but obviously that's not happening for Len. >_>
In Japan: Valentine's Day = Girl -> Boy White Day = Boy -> Girl (return a gift kind of thing)
Black Day that was mentioned is actually Korean branch of shineshinedan's tradition where those single and doesn't want to have relations go and eat some noodle together.
If you ask me though, its all just bullshit made up to help commercial entities make money all year round... What a waste of money...

Ah, my mistake.
Also, on St. Valentine's Day, I don't agree with the notion that it's a scam holiday. Yes, it's pushed into your head that you should buy chocolate, roses, etc. for people, but it's still a day of love. And giving gifts to people is always a nice thing to do. Spending $2 for a small box of chocolates at a Dollar General is a small price to pay to have a friend smile and cheer them up.
