If you’re a fan of anime, manga, or Japanese culture in general, you’ve probably wondered what’s up with the whole blood type thing. In America your blood type only determines how often the Red Cross calls you up (I am O-, so they are on me like a duck on a June bug, and I do donate regularly, except, you know, when I’m pregnant), but in Japan it can determine who wants to date you and if you will get a job.

As defined by the books, type As are sensitive perfectionists but overanxious; Type Bs are cheerful but eccentric and selfish; Os are curious, generous but stubborn; and ABs are arty but mysterious and unpredictable.

Yahoo has finally revealed the origin of Japan’s obsession with blood typing; just as I suspected, it was the Nazis!
