Mini Characters Of The World

Yesterday's batch of mini characters of the world.
I'm going to go typeset the new manga!















I-I think I'm used to drawing them[New Zealand] now. . . !
I received many interesting stories about New Zealand, from people who are studying and/or living there.
Thank you, very much!
New Zealand seems like a soothing place.




Walking Together




Before an International Meeting. . .





Correct answer: Walking speed

Austria is 23rd and China is 24th.
Germany and Austria are neighbours and they’re both German-speaking countries, yet it’s strange how there’s such a gap between them.
By the way, the lowest ranking country was Brazil, and Romania was second to last.

Research material: The Pace of Life in 31 Countries
Doraemon is very popular in China.

If you want to see the rankings this comment here has them put simply for you.

oh my gosh, hopefully we can have NZ's official colors soon, I've been dying to draw him/her @_@

[tarafishes.livejournal.com]

Since Himaruya usually colors the chibis he draws, we'll probably get them soon! As long as he doesn't scrap them sob.

[katamanda.livejournal.com]

New Zealand is so adorable, for srs. I just want to know... he or she? That's all we're asking Himaruya!

I think NZ's hair curls have gotten a little more elaborate :o ... back to the 50/50 on what gender s/he is then, ack.

[setsuya.livejournal.com]

I have a feeling he's going to update the profiles (http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/h_micro.html) again. Just a bit.

NEW ZEALAND. I am now convinced that NZ is a boyish boy.

[tarafishes.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for linking that, I lost that page and was looking for it yesterday since I had the same suspicion. orz /BOOKMARKS. Only remembered the "micro" bit.

Let's hope you're right! I wanna see all of their profiles, even though we know most of them, already!

NZ is a girlish boy, to me. Like Latvia. He probably likes poetry and romance novels, just like him. Hm, now I want them to hang out.

[katamanda.livejournal.com]

I just had the sudden hilarious throught that none of the characters can remember NZ's gender, much akin to no one remembering who Canada is, lol.

Aussie: This is my bro... sis... er...
New Zealand: ... I'M *Insert gender here*

And then they all forget 5 mins later and NZ and Canada sulk together XD

[setsuya.livejournal.com]

The profiles provides us with more cracky stuff, anyway. *ahem*EGYPT*ahem*

Latvia and New Zealand being best friends while Sea-kun watches from afar. Shota Trio?

[fivedayslater.livejournal.com]

Even in doodle form, Romano's looking fine. :Db

I'm loving all this New Zealand love. Maybe someday we'll find out his/her real gender...

[tarafishes.livejournal.com]

Bahaha, yes! Don't let those tables take you down, Egypt!

A-aww. Don't forget Sea-kun! ;3; He'd probably go with Latvia and size New Zealand up before deciding if he approves or not. And probably having to hold off any approval because what if he's a girl and has cooties he has to save Latvia! Yes please. Pleasepleasepleaseplease.

[setsuya.livejournal.com]

what if he's a girl and has cooties he has to save Latvia!

YESYESYESYES. Power Ranger Sea-kun saves the day. xD

Then Wy comes and goes all "HEY MEET MY NEIGHBOR/SIBLING/THAT OTHER OCEANIAN" and they live happily ever after! 8D
I suck at writing endings. :D

[digitalskye.livejournal.com]

I hope he updates the profiles! I wanna see New Zealand's official colors!

[novara-chan.livejournal.com]

QwQ chibi's so cute.. ;w; I love the canada and New Zealand ;w; and spain aawaahh.. I like em all ;w;

[atowaito.livejournal.com]

They all look really adorable ♥~

[tarafishes.livejournal.com]

XDD Actually, now that I think about it, Latvia would probably get scared of NZ's sheep. . . . Sealand would have to save him either way! Or try to.

JUST IN TIME. Sealand was about to Rocket Punch him!
:'D It was a beautiful ending. /pats. They're hard to write.

[const-victoria.livejournal.com]

I swear Ukraine gets prettier with every sketch. And ohgod, please let it be new profiles! *.*

[carousel-s.livejournal.com]

He was studying in New Zealand? or did he learn from people who are studying or live in New Zealand?

[tarafishes.livejournal.com]

We'll have to wait until someone who knows Japanese can clear this up. @_@ I'm assuming he was studying there? Or he just went to visit and he called it studying since he learned so much. . . .

[olly-oxen-free.livejournal.com]

NEW ZEALAND. :DDD N'aww, so adorable - I want to draw him again! (At least, I feel pretty sure that he is a boy anyway. ^^)

I'd like to hear about Himaruya's adventures in NZ - I hope it will involve New Zealand-centric comic strips to complement. C:

[madamearie.livejournal.com]

Himaruya will probably troll us forever. This will probably end up being a running gag throughout the series. *A*

MOAR NZ, MOAR.

[tarafishes.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! That clears everything up.

[smileysel.livejournal.com]

aahhh so adorableeeee XD

[fuyu-yuu.livejournal.com]

Just can't decide which one of them is the cutest~~~ X3

[kisekichibi.livejournal.com]

I kinda wanted NZ to be a girl ever since I saw him/her on that map (it looks like s/he's wearing a skirt!).
But given how Liechtenstein is given a bit of curve to her chest as a chibi...I'm thinking guy.

...We may never know. ^q^

[rabieskatten.livejournal.com]

New Zealand sort of looks like Sealand x''D
