The second button -第二ボタン-

- pick up story from Graduation ceremony -

On Graduation Day is the great opportunity to confess your feeling for someone precious to you or the one you have had a crush on. 

 

At the schools, there is a long tradition of boys giving away the 2nd button of their school jacket as a keepsake to their loved one.    

By the way, "why the 2nd Button?" ---- Because it's the closest to the heart. The 2nd button will contain memories and feelings he had during these past few years in school. If you receive a 2nd button from a boy, it means that he wants you to remember him and understand his feelings for you"

 

Is there any custom like this in your country during graduation ceremonies?
