[Official site] Luxemburgo sketch?

it seems luxemburgo is gonna be male(?) He seems to be lacking of an expression though.

I'm not sure what he's saying but he's talking about 4th volume it seems

Translation provided by hitsuji_no_hibi :

I think Luxembourg could be a man with a clear common sense or something similar. I haven't decided on his appearance yet. Perhaps he will show up in one of the historical stories in volume 4.

lol i just LOVE how nobody's commented on here yet XD

[kanami-yuuta.livejournal.com]

hey I've just posted it!

but seeing the desilusion we went through some days ago... I wouldnt be surprised

[franceismyhomie.livejournal.com]

I'm too scared of freaking out over this - what if it turns out to be another hoax? xD

Personally, I don't care the gender of Luxembourg. I just wanna see him/her!

[chulchinmae.livejournal.com]

....AFhgfhgjhjyujgh

I will make an intelligent response after I Google Translate that post.

Also, it seems that the little scribbles to the side were actually more like the character design ideas afterall!

[ab-jaded.livejournal.com]

Google translation gave e this: Luxembourg's about the best I think I feel like a man who refreshing common sense. Bamboo look is not decided yet. I put out a little bit about history in four volumes? - it's really nonsense o.o But I guess it's some kind of rambling about volume 4 and Lux's personality?

[tehd.livejournal.com]

Ohh, cool!

huh, I feel like drawing funny faces on it...

[anubismito]

LOL, me too xD. But I love how it's coming. I hope Hima finishes him soon :)

[ab-jaded.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, and I was so waiting for Portugal.

I tried to use google translator to know who it would be, and got smt really nonsense. But I guess he's talking about putting some history in volume 4? And smt about Luxembourg's personality, I guess.

[maikichelorrain.livejournal.com]

Hmmm the data is maybe falsed cause everybody crosses the border to buy alcohol in Luxembourg, cause it's cheaper ~

[saturndjinni.livejournal.com]

So we might be getting a Luxembourg after all! Though I'll stay cautious and try not to get *too* excited until someone translates the entry fully. XD

He looks kinda Austria-ish...

[kanami-yuuta.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure he's saying something like he doesnt know what expression to give him and that something about him might appear or not in volume 4

[tarafishes.livejournal.com]

Awww.

I'd prefer it be a girl, but. As long as we get Luxy, so the Benelux is complete! Also, haha, te Benelux seem to be the ones who start out with no face or real appearance. . .he did this to Belgium, too(and, of course, the shadow that was Netherlands.)

[ab-jaded.livejournal.com]

Benelux - thought the same! Since he's talking about volume 4 (or so it seems), we have a good chance of Benelux interactions :3

hope I'm doing it right this time.

[saturndjinni.livejournal.com]

Thank you~ this makes a lot more sense now, haha. Ooh hopefully we'll get an official Portugal by the time vol 4 rolls around as well. @_@ (though honestly I mostly want to see Australia finally get an official appearance! and to finally figure out what gender New Zealand is )

[doxorz.livejournal.com]

I was so hoping that Luxembourg would be a lady.

Goddamn, Himaruya D:

[tuulensisko.livejournal.com]

Me too. :/ Although I won't really mind that much, as long as we get a Lux, female or not. I've been waiting for aaaages...

[chulchinmae.livejournal.com]

It's most likely Luxembourg, guys. Also, from an older post that Himaruya mentioned (this will be brought up by a friend of mine later, I just can say it was confirmed by JBBS, thank you kindly Japanese fandom ;-; ):

"Luxembourg: Finland, says "a man of great dignity" (Google translated)

That and yes, he's a guy. So happy. Now we just need Portugal. Even though it seems a bit out of character, I hope he looks similar to the guy with thicker Spain hair, face with a scar, and rat tail ponytail, fff.

Anyway, back to Luxembourg, I hope he has a relaxed, but stern face that you can't read. I'm tired of pure kuudere types.

[ab-jaded.livejournal.com]

When I first saw his "faceless face" (?), I had the same idea, of the man with relaxed, but stern face. I don't think he'd be so serious like Austria.

Portugal! Every Portuguese friend o'mine says he'd be Spain's brother with ponytail and beard, the kind of easy-going man (I want a woman, damn it!)

[onionrice.livejournal.com]

A mention of a volume 4?!? I'm already excited~

[vysnia-cerasus.livejournal.com]

Himaruya posted this right as I finished drafting a post on the unseen/unreleased nations that that forum suggested be posted to alleviate concerns...awesome timing XD

He looks good so far! Though the facelessness reminds me of that creepy, creepy preliminary Belgium with no face that he drew once too (she only had "Belgium" written on her blank face). I hope we get him and Port in volume 4, he seemed to hint we could get more Spain and France already.

Will Lux have blond hair or will it be brown?

[ab-jaded.livejournal.com]

I trully want Portugal and the rest of the UK + Ireland to appear.

But also wanted for him to focus more on the axis/allies.

And I guess it's brown, blond would look weird in that design for me

[kecen.livejournal.com]

Awww, I'd have preferred a girl :x

Wonder if this means more design sketches in the near future~

[hoshiko2.livejournal.com]

Not gettin' my hopes up. :\

[chulchinmae.livejournal.com]

For people who don't always check the translation tag, read this post: http://community.livejournal.com/hetalia/9460355.html Has some interesting information about nations that Himaruya has thought of including. Luxembourg, Portugal, and all. c:

I'm just pimping out Vysnia_Cerasus's post since she worked hard on it. *thumbs up*

[csi-ruby.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy that Himaruya is doing Lux's design, as well as that Lux is a man. I'm pretty positive that it has been hinted on several different occasions that Luxembourg was a male.

Regardless, I'm just happy that the trio is finally going to be complete~

[j-spekke.livejournal.com]

His hairstyle looks like one of the little sketches on the previous post for the false-alarm new characters. :O

Also glad that Luxembourg is male - I wanted to see a smallish country that wasn't female for once. D:

[miezen.livejournal.com]

I like this design! I hope it stays, it's pretty. ngl I am getting really tired of new male nation-tans happening so often, though...we could seriously use more ladies.

This design could actually make for a cute girl, too. I know it won't be since Lux has been referred to as probably male before and this is pretty similar to Himaruya's typical male designs in the base, but I do love reverse traps.

[sweetwintersong.livejournal.com]

Ah. I wanted a woman. (Hetalia needs more girls and it hurts my heart to genderbend the already male ones)

This design is fine, too, though. *crosses fingers and hope it's really female*

Well, there was always that thing where Himaruya said Switzerland was supposed to be female who dressed like a man and people would be shocked when they saw her in girls' clothes...

[maikichelorrain.livejournal.com]

I do hope Luxembourg will show up. I don't really care about the gender at all, as long as the personnality fits the country. And yeah for historical strips!

[maple-destiny.livejournal.com]

OH MIJN GOD!!! JAAAA!!! . . . I hoped Lux would be a boy cause well if lux was a girl then you would get the same effect as Russia and his two sisters and that is herpderp so this made my day. . . DANKJE DANKJE . .

Somehow I hope Lux will also be a nerd with a laptop cause I imagine Holland throwing his laptop stuck over and over xD

[yamikisara.livejournal.com]

Stuff like this makes me hope we get to see more nation-tans in volume 4~!

[elysiumspirit.livejournal.com]

So... can I be excited again?

[sonjaceru.livejournal.com]

I wish Luxembourg would have been a girl. :( Hetalia needs more females, especially in Europe!

[kurohaneshizumi.livejournal.com]

Europe has nearly all the females though. XD
