I’m really sorry to have kept you all waiting for such a long time!
I plan to continue the Halloween event for a short period starting on 2nd November and also post up this year’s Halloween costumes.

I’m only going to wrap things up with a little extra on the side, so this year I will be drawing and posting requests at my normal update pace.

But since I’d feel left out if I don’t do anything on 31st, I plan to post a comic strip that I’ve done previously, but it’s a serious story that’s not festive at all…

Thank you for all your comments and fun news! The world is such an interesting place!

> So is Persia-san kinda a grandpa too?

That’s right, just like Grandpa Rome, he also has grandchildren and adopted children.

> Anicetus who looks a bit like Japan, is he taller than Japan?

The average height in Ancient Rome, depending on the era, is about 160-170cm. During Nero’s time, in the Pompeii region male’s average height is about 168-170cm. And it’s said that Nero’s height is about average, so in the manga he’s a bit shorter….OH MY GOD NO WHAT HAVE I DONE!!?

> You might already know this… but there’s a ranking for the coolest terminology in world history, and “Holy Roman Empire” was ranked No.1. Congratulations~

Terms such as “Teutonic Knights” and “Holy Roman Empire” are really cool, so you tend to remember them really quickly.



As a side note, I think we need a tag for Persia. Does anybody know how to make one? Can only mods do it? (If so, are there any mods around who feel like they can do it?)

I'm really excited about the Hetaween continuation! Thanks for posting.

We're going to get an ending to last year's Hetaween event?! Woohoo! I wonder if this means we'll finally going to get a conclusion to the 2011 Christmas event later this year? I'd really like to find out who was in the bunny suit.

Also, a serious story on Halloween? I'm excited, but Hima's serious stories can really be tearjerkers *cough*Davey*cough* so...

I agree about needing a tag for Persia, but I think only a mod can do that. I think some kind of "historical figure" tag might be nice too.

Speaking of Persia, Hima's comment about Persia being a grandpa like Rome makes me wonder if ancient Persia is going to be a different character from modern Iran.

Ah, well. I'm just happy to see him updating again!

Oh come on, if the guy in the bunny suit isn't Prussia, my name is Herbert. ;)
But yeah, it would be really cool if we could have both events continue this year. But, it must be a lot of work for Hima, especially now with the World Stars comics twice a week, so I wouldn't blame him if he doesn't manage to do both.
there's always next year, in any case.

Historical figure tag would be really useful, I agree. If only it were easier to create tags.

Halloween !!! Thank you Hima-sama !!!! (http://s58.photobucket.com/user/Sett_Austen/media/gifs/507367_normal.gif.html)

Also understood that Persia-san is an ancient and Iran-san would be a grandson. ^^
Just as information, these countries were part of the Persian Empire: Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Egypt, Georgia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Macedonia, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Kuwait, Syria, as well as several parts of Greece, Libya and northern Arabia.

Oh goodness, the continuation of the event!! And a serious Halloween story, I am both really excited and really terrified

OK, everyone somehow send Hima-papa any extra energy and health that you have, so that he'll be okay and not stress himself physically or mentally trying to finish an event and do his paid work. I'm glad that he does seem to have a solid plan on how to do all of this. (And maybe, if his plan is a success, then maybe we can wish for Christmas 2011's end, although I do have to agree that I would be shocked if Prussia isn't the Bunny.)

Side note: so, the Gentosha fan mail link is still forwarding stuff on to him? I've been wondering about that...

[pink-cass.livejournal.com]

It seems that way - unless the Japanese fans have found some other way to contact him. I guess we can't be 100% sure, but for now, I think it's best to assume that the old contact email still works.

Only mods can make tags, yes.

Popped in real quick to add the persia tag! The post's also been tagged with it.

[pink-cass.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much. :)
