[SCANLATION] wishing on a star

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

This is one of my most favorite Hetalia strips, so I went ahead and scanlated it myself~

Features Germany and Italy, camping on a night before a showdown with England and the U.S. Translation and editing by me, rainy_takako. No linking elsewhere, please!






Sorry for the lack of editing in that one panel of Germany's, but it was honestly a nightmare and I'm only a novice at typesetting... I usually just translate.

Haha yeah. Poor England. :'D

Sure, if I decide I want to translate another. I have to think of another one that I like enough. XD

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

Germany IS. ♥
No problem!

[mumumugen.livejournal.com]

Oh this made me LOL big times. XD Indeed, poor Germany. I really choked on a drink when Alfred/US went "That... that's really cool, England!" A great moment!

Also, I don't know if anyone else noticed, but Germany apparently wants "a change in government"? Is Germany/Ludwig discontent with the nazis?

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

Haha yes. Alfred and his dorkiness. ♥

It's a large possibility ne's referring to them, but if I remember my world history lessons correctly Germany's had plenty of lousy leadership other than the Nazis unfortunately. Same goes for lots of countries. *sigh*

[mumumugen.livejournal.com]

Probably.

Another interpretation - darker, yet still funny in the context of making such an amoral wish on a shooting star - is that he's asking for a change in GOVERNMENTS. (Ahaha. "And a new world order...")

I do wonder if Hetalian nation-tans can disagree with their current leaders. In the Prussia/Austria comics, Prussia was in clear good terms with Fredrick and didn't mind doing as told. Austria and Maria Theresa were close too, but some of her decisions sure didn't suit his fancy, but he had to put up with them anyway. I know it's wishful thinking - and even then, I'm REALLY skeptic about it - but it'd make Germany much more likeable if he displayed some sort of discomfort with his leaders in WWII. It's unlikely, though: militaristic Germany, who likes following orders, generally likes order and authority would probably have no trouble with it.

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

Ah, actually "government" was just my lazy way of saying "heads of state", though that would be rather amusing yes. XD

I'm sure they can disagree, since nation-tans represent the "essence" of a country's stereotypes and not the ideological views of its leaders. So the nation-tans' feelings towards their leader, I imagine, would be more or less roughly based on general opinions of the leaders? It seems like Germany was expressing a lot of discontent with his leaders in that panel, but because of "his" personality he wouldn't show outright rebellion. At least that's what makes sense in my head.

[tomoe-daeva.livejournal.com]

Obviously ♥
Just feel free to poke me when you need someone for the "dirty job" >D
*whimpers evily* --What about that Holy Roman Empire/Chibitalia thinglet--?

Thanks for taking the time to scanlate this *____* ENGLAND TAKES A CRITICAL HIT

[jali-jali.livejournal.com]

Sorry to butt in, but many Germans do disagree with how Nazis government work at WWII. And well, you know, they're just too scared to oppose them so they prefer to be silent. At least, that's what I know ^ ^;;

[jali-jali.livejournal.com]
