[scanlation] The Anglo-Japanese Alliance Between Two Lonely People

Scanlated this with a little help from [livejournal.com profile] paperonigiri.
EDIT (13/06/09): Made some revisions and corrections after 43589743985 years.

日英同盟「先生!珍しくイギリス君が日本君をあまやかしてます!」
British-Japanese Alliance "Teacher! It's unusual for England-kun to spoil Japan-kun!"


■Anglo-Japanese Alliance■
England at this time was being a tsundere, then realized that he didn't have any friends. This is called splendid isolation. (laugh)
For a short time, while England boasted of its splendor, America, sharing in their youth with Germany, has almost reached that status as well.

Also, having thought of wanting to drive out Russia, who was approaching China, it was utterly impossible for him alone.

1902 was the year England made a friend.


■England tries to befriend Germany■

At first, England suggested that he and Germany should be friends, but being friends with England meant siding against Russia, which was troublesome, so he was rejected by Germany.


■In front of Japan's house■

Just when England was looking for a friend,
Japan was looking for nation to become friends with at the same time as well.

For Japan, there was a wall of tension between him and Russia.
Just when Japan thought, "There isn't a small eastern island nation like England that will be friends with me, is there..."
It seemed that, for Japan and England, it was good fortune.




However, there were Japanese who didn't think too well of having good relations with England...


■That night■



■It has been formed... the Anglo-Japanese alliance■


With the help of a visit from Russia's boss, he thought in a hurry, "Oh no... If he joins forces with Russia, I'll soon be at a disadvantage..."
He swiftly worked on making an alliance with Japan.

England doing this was pretty unusual and due to Japan's considerably lucrative imports, during the time when Japan fought with Russia's allies, he seemed to have exceedingly great power. (*´∀`*

■We formed an alliance■


Typical England. He never forgives his enemies. (laugh)

By not handling the Russo-French negotiations well,
England completely got in France's way and Russia fought with the Triple Alliance: Italy, Germany, Austria.
England controlled France's exports to Russia and blocked its ports well.
Information regarding Russia's handicaps leaked out and Japan was put at an advantage in war, among other things.
However, it seems that various things have been taken away.

He's amazing, that pirate gentleman.


■A little after the Anglo-Japanese alliance■

Aiyaa! Thanks for the scanlations!! But, there seems to be one picture that can't be loaded properly. Right below when France said "I hate that English bastard". And that there's seems to be some white smudge from Arthur's dialogue from the first panel of In front of Japan's House.

:D *claps claps* Thank you for your hard work!

Aah, poor, tsundere UK. Thanks for the translations!

Also, the "living in isolation with honour" is actually the Splendid Isolation. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splendid_isolation)^^/

MY GOD I LOVE YOU! Thank you for the scanlations! ♥
The image with the url: http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg152/pafyuumu/hetalia/n_e8.gif seems to be broken, though!

Thanks again!
The last strip was my favorite~

Oh god, these two are way too adorable. My old history lessons are so CUTE now, pfft. Also, "Pirate Gentleman" -- THIS IS AN AMAZING TITLE TO HAVE, HAHA.

Thank you for scanlating and sharing!

America can get him a shirt that says that!

(Made in China.)

XD You sure? Cause it's blocking the word "finally" in England's dialog. I was just thinking maybe the erasing wasn't complete.

Thanks for scanlating this! I was wondering why Japan and UK were always paired up together in pictures..

This was very cute. XD

Never saw this strip before - thanks for translating it was so entertaining.

My favorite moment is definitely England thrusting flowers at Germany only to have the door slammed in his face. ^o^

Icon!

UK, I fell for your tsundereness :D .... oh gawd you're soooo cute :3 And living in an island did make you lonely, right? And Germany didn't want to be your friend because he already has Italy as his BFF XD

Do you hold a grudge against him?
I do not have any of the sort.

LOLZ

Aww! Arthur is so damn cute.

But as expected of England. He won't forgive his enemies.

LOL He looks so smug right there. I love it. :'D

Hahaha, oh poor UK. And the rest of Eurpoe still won't be his friends, he's always last in the Eurovision Song Contest. I'm not sure what I like best, Germany slamming a door in his face or Japan writing insults about America.

THANK YOU!!!
