Usually, you’re given a warm thank-you and some sugary snacks for sharing your hemoglobin, but on February 20 the Japanese Red Cross Society is sweetening the deal by giving people who donate blood a plastic file featuring an exclusive illustration of the characters from smash-hit idol anime Love Live! Sunshine!!
As such, it’s unlikely that any one fan will end up with two files, but if you’d like to do your part to help and also get what’s coming to you in terms of anime goodies, a list of Japanese Red Cross blood donation sites can be found here.
Fans’ love of Love Live! can save lives, earn them an exclusive illustration of idols in blood-red costumes.
And now there’s a piece of anime merch that you have to be willing to bleed for.
