[mykonos2.livejournal.com]

Made of awesome. I get Germany, Prussia and a handsome German soldier... day=made

[larosabelle.livejournal.com]

Very nice update. I love the random but very handsome German soldier *_*

As per usual I fail and can't read half the kanji, but basically Germany is given a gun that Italy's side dropped, and Germany examines it to find out more about the enemy. There's a manual, and even though Germany appreciates the design and technique of the gun itself, the things written in the manual ("don't load your gun!") make him think the usual "WTF what is wrong with this country", and finally he asks Prussia "Brother, has Italy always been like that?" and Prussia answers "The time will come when you, too, will appreciate the good side of it".

(Prussia, your crush is showing.)

[aureliuszvektor.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, ninja'd. I'm sorry, I didn't see yours while I was typing ;-;

[sinverse7.livejournal.com]

more germany. fuck yes!!!

[twyxted-mind.livejournal.com]

I know I'm not the only one excited by Prussia popping up at the end. :D

[kasinka16.livejournal.com]

No, you are not alone!
Germany (and Prussia!) in WWI uniforms <3

[thebookbug5.livejournal.com]

Tehee, I want to see this translated. And the Prussia cameo (plus the good looking soldeir fellow) made me very happy. :D

Uwaaah, I actually can sort of translate this

[aureliuszvektor.livejournal.com]

P: The time was WWI.

Germany, please look! A large shipment of guns has arrived from Japan. They seem to be the latest model.

I wonder if that's all right, given Italy.


"The guns of Italy and Germany"

1: Hmm... so this is an Italian gun. It seems necessary to research it a little.

(Diagram: [I think this says] The object of Germany's research--this kind of feeling, the M1910)

2: Ciao! This is the instruction manual for this gun. Women are better than guns! So you try hard too, Germany.

What kind of manual is this? It's entirely too informal! What's this... "this gun's many properties..."

3: On the one hand, [to make it more convenient?], it's very easy to clean!

Certainly, that's very convenient!

4: Ah, but due to that, when normal-strength bullets are put in and fired, the gun will break, so that's not allowed. Absolutely not.

Wha!!?

5: But don't worry! To stay safe, I special-ordered lots of weak bullets that won't hurt anyone! That's perfect!

S-so... Easy to clean >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> power .... !!!!?

6: It seems that, whether Italy is an ally or an enemy, you have to worry about him.

(Sky Italy: Pasta is tasty~)

What a mysterious country.


Himaruya's note: Guns that fell in disrepair while being used were really common, so the strong bullets of that period could not be used and so they had no choice but to use weak and safe bullets.

The Beretta is cool!


A: Big brother, it's becauuuuuuse Italy is normal, right?

(In the background: "Staring at with his eyes far away")

Even for you, there will be a time when you learn to appreciate that.

[theintelligent.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the translation! :D

AW BACK TO ITALY FAIL

[animepursuit.livejournal.com]

YEA BACK TO HISTORY. ITALY WHAT KIND OF GUN DID YOU GUYS MAKE? I MEAN FOR TAKING DOWN A CIVILIAN THOSE GUNS WOULD BE USEFUL BUT NOT IN WAR! ON A ROLL HIMARUYA DON'T STOP. I HOPE HE GETS INTO THE BATTLES SOON, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHICH BATTLE IT SHOULD BE....

I VOTE FOR THE STORIES ABOUT US SOLDIERS BEING SAVED BY DOLPHINS!

Re: AW BACK TO ITALY FAIL

[toontoosh.livejournal.com]

AM I SEEING THE CAPTALIA SYNDROME?

[blarging.livejournal.com]

Oh, Italy. He tries so hard...

"There will be a time when you learn to appreciate that." Gilbert, you sound like an old man!! XD

[deadtree.livejournal.com]

at first glance I didn't realize he was wearing a uniform, I thought he was wearing suspenders over a button-down... so the old-man thing fit xD

Hetalia- The Prelude?

[chulchinmae.livejournal.com]

Wow, wasn't expecting Himaruya to cover Germany anywhere before WW2 (with the exception of Great Depression and maybe the very beginning of the original archives). This is QUITE a treat! Anyway-

LOL.

Prussia, your crush on Italy is so precious. Prussia, despite being the occasional dumbshit, you really are a cool older brother. I don't know, I really liked seeing a relaxed, calm and collected Prussia here. Maybe one day we'll actually see him in his serious mode? I can only wish, ha ha.

Oh well, at least they are clean. So, does this mean that Italy is actually tidy, even if he has a messy personality? Cuuuuttee~. Or is just an excuse? Ha ha.

My god, this strip was just amazing. I've always had a feeling that Volume 3 was leading up to something, and well, getting a strip that sort of throws back to the original is really interesting. Like a prelude! I love it, and finally to see both Prussia and Germany involved together too! But I am a sucker for these wartime strips. And just. All these historical strips in general. *-*

Re: Hetalia- The Prelude?

[rosetteroulette.livejournal.com]

I know! I love the wartime strips. I hope they are more in the future~ And more history, too. XD

The PruIta at the end was cute. ♥

[deadtree.livejournal.com]

...I love the tiny picture of Italy raging xD

Ahh, so many great historical strips lately, I feel spoiled ♥

[twyxted-mind.livejournal.com]

Angry Italy is always amusing. ;D

[doitsujin-san.livejournal.com]

GERMANS! GERMANS! GERMANS! Will someone think of a cool name for the sexy German soldier? :D

[sweetz-xoxo.livejournal.com]

Just throwing out some German names I know: Alphonse? Bruno? Jarvis? Eldwin? Wolfgang? Wilfred? Heinrich? Hewitt? Diedrich?

..Okay..Imma stop now...

[crazy-gemini124.livejournal.com]

Look at that awesome young man at the end there. It's nice to see our favorite Germans on their own. (well and a little Italy too)

[gilbolove.livejournal.com]

Nice Pickelhaube on that soldier. Hnggghhh~

[doitsujin-san.livejournal.com]

I hate the word Pickelhaube... that just sounds so ugly... PICKEL!!! T.T

[wyvern-ventrue.livejournal.com]

Prussia in WW1!!!! YAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! :D

[dropletoffire.livejournal.com]

Such a young Germany. ;w; And already fighting in such a big war. I'm hoping we get to see WW1 Austria too, since this was a major turning point for him.
