Info about manga volume 3?

I've seen people here post about how there's a third book of the manga coming out, but I can't find it on Amazon. Does anyone have an ISBN number or a set date or anything like that...?

It is said to be released during Golden Week in Japan (from April 29 to May 5), and Himaruya just updated his blog stating that he is working on Volume three as I type this.

So you can't find it right now, but in over a month or so it will be out.

I wish I had taken a picture, because no one will believe me, but I actually SAW an APH hetalia manga (black and white, had the manga artwork) labeled volume 3 in my Kinokuniya (Palisades center, NY.) I don't know if this is it or not but it sure looked like it. I opted to buy an anime book instead that had more cosplay references. But this weekend I may be in NYC and stop at the Kino there. I'll take a pic if I see it! It was definitely some kind of new Hetalia volume

I... don't think that was it, but it may be some other related book? Such as the animation World Wide Walking book volume 3? I know that that's out, I've seen it over here. But I'm in Japan and I frequent manga shops... and I haven't seen a volume three yet.

Actually, what I bought was the WWW book number 1. This book was much much thicker. From what I could tell peeking through the top, it was manga, I didn't see any color. It was wrapped up, though, so I couldn't see much more. It was very thick and taller than the typical manga. I'm new to Hetalia so I'm not sure what the volumes are supposed to look like, though this was put out by Gentosha.

It could simply be a related book! Maybe concept sketches or something? It was huuuuuge, though.

*facepalm*

I didn't mean world wide walking. What I meant was "maybe it was world wide walking" and/or "maybe it was storyboard volume 3"

especially now since you said it was thick. The manga are slightly on the thin side when compared to the storyboard volumes.

Mystery solved ;-) Glad to know what it is, and VERY glad I didn't buy it.

I was in that exact same Kinokuniya the other day, the book 3 they have there is the storyboards for the anime, sadly.
