Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books Hetalia: Axis Powers, Vol. 1 (Hetalia: Axis Powers #1)
It's a cute manga that's set in World War 2 through present day that actually manages to amuse and both educate at the same time. The manga is about anthropomorphic personifications of some of the countries during World War 2, with adorable comic strips about certain events. The personifications of the countries somewhat poke fun at national stereotypes, such as America being loud, brash yet good natured and friendly, or Japan being the quiet but secretly-an-otaku, etc, without being super offensive. A great read if you want to both laugh all while learning about WW2. :]<3

This manga is insane. It made me laugh so hard I almost died by choking on my milk (I was eating Oreos at the time, while I was clicking away and that turned out to be an unwise decision; milk always goes well with Oreos, if you're wondering what it has to do with my milk). Thankfully I managed to survive the ordeal and read more.I don't really think there's a plot they're following. It's mainly just about the characters who are people named and based on countries. I think it's a pretty sweetA friend lent me this book, and I read it without knowing anything about it or the anime. She is quite a fan, so I thought I'd be as excited as her, but it didn't happen. Yes, it is very funny and the little bit of historic facts are always interesting, but for me the stereotypes were too much in certain cases. I think some were humiliating and harmful.I am thinking about a particular sentence found in the description of Hungary (in relation to Romania) that just might have destroyed decades of
Axis Powers Hetalia Vol. 1. What did I expect? I'd heard alot about this before and at first I was quite indifferent about it but once it actually hit me, it REALLY hit. You know, like a bowling ball or something similar. Hetalia is impossibly hilarious and has the power to make you want to go and research history. It may not be something you can study from but it's something that will motivate you unwillingly. It's a deviation from classic mainstream manga and has it's own style that is evident
Hetalia Axis Powers by Hidekaz Himaruya is a funny manga filled with comic strips of personified countries mostly taking place during World War 1 (hence the name Axis Powers Hetalia). The countries are all mostly based on stereotypes which makes it even funnier and most of the strips have a lot of history jokes which is perfect for me (since I love history) and anybody else that enjoys history. The ways the countries interact are both funny and amusing (and acurate), like how France and England
This manga is hard for me to write about. I liked it, for many of the same reasons I liked the anime. It's funny, the characters are appealing, and it makes history and the relationships between countries more interesting and memorable, even for someone like me, who had to struggle to remember anything for history tests. However, I read a review that said this manga has "a strong whiff of pointlessness," and I think I'd have to agree with that. I didn't dislike this volume nearly as much as some
"VODKAAAAA!!!!"I know, some of you would be like "this isn't history blablabla" but if you really think abouf it, some traits, events, acts, are rather logically representing each countries. For example, the easiest one: Italy and Germany's bromance = their sercure alliance during WW2. Some may have been exaggerated, but some may have been correct, like how Belarus really want to marry Russia = how people in Belarus want to be a part of Russia.Anyways, I recommend this whether for pure
The premise drove me away faster than I'd like to admit.However. It wasn't long before the art and favorable reviews drew me back. Historians around the globe screamed in agony on the day Hetalia: Axis Powers was released. Still, it's cute character designs and... originality drew many people in and would not let them go.I don't like many aspects about Hetalia. For starters, just go ahead and forget about any variations in skin tone. The United States of America may be a melting pot, but Hetalia
