I love the atmospheric lighting. <3 Switzerland, for a little guy, you really are quite dashing. I just love that bob cut, it looks so artistic flowing in the wind.

Also, that bottom panel comes from a full fledged comic all about Hidekaz. Hidekaz's self in the comic has blood pouring from his eyes. Does anyone know where it is?

It should be somewhere in the late 2008 posts on his blog, I remember someone showed it here before! Lemme see...

Ah, here we go:

He also has a scrapped/unfinished comic in that same month of Sealand meeting up with Yamato and Noto-sama. It's a shame he didn't finish it, it would've been interesting to know what was going on in thecomic:

Ah, it's a shame, isn't it? That sure would have been quite horrific. xD I wonder what kind of mayhem they would get into? Probably strip Britain and laugh at him.

It's a shame that Noto-sama 6 has yet to have its patch released too! I want to see what the "potato boxers Germany" ending looks like XD

Apparently Himaruya was planning to do a published version of Kitakou around the same time he got the Hetalia book deal too, but it seems to have been scrapped or fallen through.

He said he'd release the patch at Christmas, but I guess he decided to do the "Sudden Death" request-a-thon instead and so the requests took over that priority. I'd be surprised if we get the patch by this coming Christmas D:

Something tells me April Fools' Aftermath won't be completed either. Going by what I've heard on 2ch, Noto 6 and this game wouldn't be the first time he's talked about games planned that seemingly never come out (some Barjona game, the Zurou sequel, a scrapped Hetalia Christmas game...). I can see how he'd be busy and only do things like this out of free time, but it gets a little sad wondering when or if certain things will be complete.

The above picture says "Next time I want to draw these guys"

↑I managed to include most of the characters I wanted to show after Volume 2.
This time, I drew new strips like historical stories that I've wanted to draw and a summary of that character so I'm very satisfied.
I hope you enjoy the third volume.

----------------
So I guess you can expect to see Poland, Austria, Romano, Sealand and Prussia and some new historical strips in Volume 3... I'm very excited now.

Re: rough translation

[identity profile] vysnia-cerasus.livejournal.com 2010-05-02 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
He hinted we'd be seeing the Nordics there too! I'm betting some of the little Romano strips will be redrawn/reprinted for volume 3, if that sketch he did of him was any hint. Plus, we'll be getting Boss Spain in the anime this season!

It should be interesting to see which character he's doing a summary of, and what we might see for Poland. New surprise characters would be interesting too.

I meant Kitakou. ^^;

Hell, he never even finished the Zurou game! D8 You have no idea how many times I tried to get something without Musashi at the end before someone told me he didn't complete it. orz

Four unfinished games.
Sobbu.

Ahh, Kitakou. Hmm, going by Megalodon's archives, the last time he seemed to update was in 2007 with those two new-look chapters (one of which is STILL incomplete) that have the characters back in the old uniforms and their old looks.

The "KitaPure" page (which I've found that a bunch of the deleted strips come from, confusing me even more on what is and isn't "Pure") was supposedly taken down to be revamped, but Japanese fans are still waiting for him to do so with that too. It wouldn't surprise me if he took down some of the more explicit stuff due to wanting to get Kitakou published, but I guess we won't know.

That sucks about Zurou D:. All I hear is word of mouth about it, since the old games are gone and people aren't supposed to share them anymore out of netiquette concerns. All I have to go on for the old Barjona games are small clips on NicoNico too, fff.

[identity profile] kisekichibi.livejournal.com 2010-05-02 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
I think, if you google its title in Japanese, the download should be the first result. It's a fun game~ Voice overs are horrible, but I'd like it to be finished. = 3= I think it would be great for an anime adaption.

The old Barjona games look so fun to play. ; u ; I've only watched the one with Homare due to laziness, but man, I wish he didn't tone down the degree of seku hara.

Bad English uhurr
