Apparently Japanese people have very high blood pressure, because that’s the only way to explain why people in anime and manga get explosive nosebleeds when they’re turned on.
I’ve had this one lying around for a long time because I kept drawing other comics that I would rather post.
the anime nosebleed is actually supposed to signify a boner. after ww2 the japanese didn’t want to be seen as the savages they were painted to be by the western media, so they outlawed all genitals. this is where tentacle porn came from, because some artist realized that tentacles were phallic but not so much so that they would get censored. this also included boners, which are basically blood rushing into the penis. the solution? have the blood rush to the face instead. no one in japan actually has anime nosebleeds it’s just how they show boners (now for females!) because it’s what’s expected.
Germany is always the victim of Denmark and Netherlands' surprise yaois because it's a geographical joke. Germany is in between Netherlands and Denmark on the map. @Humon I see what you did there.
@ItsLlamaSenpai Yes indeed. And another is that even though Denmark and the Netherlands are so small, but due to Germany's calm and frightened (to do anything because of the WW's) he usually complies... Plus we're Danish and Dutch are just weird...
When someone gets excited, their heart beats faster. People often get excited in the presence of someone they find attractive.
So in a Japanese comic or cartoon intended to have comedy in it, they take that to an extreme and say that the heart beats so fast that the blood vessels in the nose rupture and cause a nosebleed ranging from a more subdued trickle for more mature comics adding a bit of humor to what I refer to as "The Roshi Geyser" where it shoots out in a manner akin to a firehose.

As I'd been told, originally the thinking behind it was that in particularly innocent virgin boys, when they get sexually excited, their blood doesn't quite know where it's supposed to go yet. So, instead of filling the penis, it spurts out the fragile capillaries in the nose.
Of course, years went by, and this amusing gag spread to be usable on any overexcited person, male, female, virgin, not, etc.
