According to Tokyopop's Facebook page:

Volume one of Hetalia: Axis Powers first editions have officially sold out. ( I believe this statement reflects US editions. Not too sure on UK editions.)

It's a good thing I got my copy before the release date..

[vurmie.livejournal.com]

Mine as well ffff it was glorious

[jlightstar.livejournal.com]

I found mine on the shelves at Books a Million before the release date and it was the only copy... I grabbed that book before someone put their greasy hands all over it...

I did the exact same thing, dude. Freaking couldn't believe it when I saw it.

[shigureblack.livejournal.com]

WOW that is just awesome!

[mogumogu.livejournal.com]

I would have helped, but the copy I found in the store had some low-res pages in it.


... or is it supposed to be that way?

[zombiem.livejournal.com]

that's so cool, hopefully with how amazing hetalia has being it'll lead to more merchandise i can spend my money on...

[mochironnai.livejournal.com]

And it's been what, a week now?
Awesome possum, Hetalians.

*Glad she got her book the first day it came out*

Wow. That's pretty rare, isn't it? :U

[arachnes-web.livejournal.com]

Yeah it is. I worked at Borders for about 6 years and right now I can't remember a manga selling out so quickly...but I'm waiting for Publishers Weekly or ICv2 to report on it (to see if they back up my memory!)

wow! That's really incredible!! ♥

[bei-kun.livejournal.com]

Wow~ I'm glad a bought it last weekend! The local Barnes & Noble only had one left, but I got it!

[tannakitten.livejournal.com]

It's pretty incredible imo!

But I am being a grump about it because I haven't been able to find a copy yet. 2nd Edition print please!

I'm glad I bought my copy on the first day it came out~
I didn't think it was going to sell out, but somehow, I'm glad it did! c:

[jesuisblasee.livejournal.com]

Brb, pre-ordering volume 2.

[mcmitters.livejournal.com]

Is that why I couldn't find it in any stores? ._. Well!

I'll get it eventually. I have all of the Japanese editions already. (Including the 3rd, I make Spain proud)

[attashi.livejournal.com]

Yay and I own one (thank god for living in an area where hetalia is hardly known)

[attashi.livejournal.com]

Randomly posting: I hope they make a french version, I think hetalia would be a great way to practice my french XD

is that little Trucy in your icon

I lent my copy to a normalfag friend of mine. She was pleased.

I handed it to her during class all wrapped up. She asked me what it was hidden for, and I wisely told her she must always hide her power level, and that is what she did. I am very proud.

Last time this happened was when Naruto got on New York Time's bestseller list, right? Kinda impressive, in my opinion. Good job fandom, seriously :DD

[leriacossato.livejournal.com]

darn darn darn is that for canada as well?


/needs to find it before it's too late ARG

[ivan.livejournal.com]

this is why digital copies are awesome B)

[attashi.livejournal.com]

But nothing is better than holding a book in your hand :3 . Even better than those lousy e-books

...Holy crap.

[powderthefox.livejournal.com]

So glad I had Barnes & Noble hold my copy. Speaking of which, I should really pick that up soon...

[shirokaze-sama.livejournal.com]

so i was reading the reviews for hetalia at amazon.co.uk
and i wonder
do these people really understand japanese culture, manga, otakus, and fangirls (above all, lol)?

It personifies the countries as effeminate men
Another issue being that EVERYONE is effeminate like the mangaka doesn't have very many male friends. It'd be funny if it was just Italy or whatever, but the whole cast of characters is this way and it got really old really quickly.


apparently, all mangakas MUST always draw "manly" men.
and it looks like this dude doesn't realize that how the chars look like is a huge plus?

sorry for ranting
im having a small case of insomnia and im bored D:

[mogumogu.livejournal.com]

Is this guy new to manga?

[ashling42.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure my Barnes & Noble still has 2 copies. We got in 3, and one was mine.

[bijou-cho.livejournal.com]

... is it known how many copies their first print run is? If it's a conservative small quantity, then selling out is really not that big a deal. But if it's the kind of print run Yen Press did for the Twilight manga, well now!

[ivveria.livejournal.com]

...mind=blown...

There's a Twilight manga?? O.o

Dayum. Bet that got a huge ass printing... =•^•=
