Hello, everybody.

Could someone please explain to me what the links say (my Japanese is almost zilch, sorry)? It says something about August 15, drama CD, trading card, 3000. Does this just talk about those drama CDs I've been reading earlier? Also, the links to Frontier Works and Animate TV makes me rather excited. ^^; (Just the general gist without direct translation will be awesome.)

Thank you so much!

I think it sold a lot better than people were expecting (sold out on Amazon?! @A@ uaa), so the merchandise is starting to pour in for a reaction. According to this (http://www.fwinc.co.jp/join/titles/hetalia.php), there are 2 million copies in print?! Impressive numbers for a comic that you can basically read most of the contents of for free on the author's website.

But it's nice to see the sudden hetalia boom ★ When I bought my copy it was almost sold out, too... and the store had cute life-size cardboard cutouts of italy and posters and etc~~ they also gave me like 2 dozen pieces of candy with the purchase of the book...uaa this comment is straying

A Civilization mod would be beautiful too ;3; Or something like a full battle simulator like Age of Empires... with a thousand tiny identical italys screaming and fleeing from battle in unison... (my mind is wandering agian..)

2 million!? Wow. O_o I know the fandom's large and growing fast, but I didn't think it's that large. Regarding content, you know, it's odd. The book doesn't have a lot of new stuff in it---a redrawn introduction, popular chapters, a few new strips and that's it. But for some reason I never felt less than satisfied and even squeed on seeing my favourite strips in print form. I DON'T KNOW WHY.

At least I have a plan for the next The Sims game. XD A town full of Hetalia characters! Though the only problem with that would be the fact that Sims 3 characters grow up and die...and you know, whenever I play Civ or Total War now, I can't resist naming myself after the 'name' of whatever nation I'm playing. XD

But hey, there's a card game. Pity I'm not in Japan.
