[Official strip scanlation] Germany and Italy's Guns

I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes
Official comic. Translated by aureliuszvektor




■ Germany and Italy's Guns ■



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!

Looks nice to me. The translation reads well and you did a good job typesetting.

Would be nice to get some of the handwritten bits translated. =w=

Poor Germany. Also, I think Himaruya is quite enjoying drawing historical clothing. XD

[sammich]

Thanks to you, some of it is. ;w;

I think Himaruya is. XD I love it!

Thank you! :D

...Would I be horrible if I said my favourite part was Prussia XD? *hugs Germany* Listen to your big brother, dearest, it'll make it better, faster.

<3 Thanks so much!

[friiggi.livejournal.com]

I was going to say the same.. =w= Hetalia needs more Prussia and Germany bonding. Brothers yay! o/

[saturndjinni.livejournal.com]

Waaaah Italy, you're the cutest little thing '3' THAT'S WHY YOU'RE MY FAVORITE

Also I find Germany calling Prussia 'big brother' incredibly sweet for some reason. Awwww.

Thanks for translating! <3

Thank you c:

Heheh, Prussia.

[hotaru13.livejournal.com]

XD I love all of Italy's little faces. He's so cute and proud of himself.

Thanks for this!

[emsiecat.livejournal.com]

XD Oh Italy we love you and your derpyness! Lol at Italy's emphatic 'absolutely not!' srsItaly is always a bonus!

I think Prussia's speaking from experience there X3 poor thing.

[sajiu93.livejournal.com]

Awww, the little Italy in the speech bubble holding a duster is so cute. <333

And thank you for this!

[saturndjinni.livejournal.com]

...oh gosh, I JUST noticed that. Buhyooooooo! <3

[fmavatard.livejournal.com]

Italy, you derp all day and night, don't you? Sweet little thing.

Prussia, you're making a lot of sense. XD

[misty-rain.livejournal.com]

...I really like this one. <3 <3 <3
Prussia is kind of a wise old soul, deep down. It's nice to see that side of him, and even nicer that Himaruya does it in a way that's not OOC at all.

[aguzsuicaedere.livejournal.com]

Does anyone have information about the gun Italy send?

[aureliuszvektor.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's the Beretta =)

If you check the original LJ post, I translated some other stuff, too.

[theintelligent.livejournal.com]

This strip is so cute!

Thanks!

[carmenmcs.livejournal.com]

Oh Ludwig. Oh Feliciano. Why so cute XD

Ha ha ha Gilbert, you wise man you XD

Thanks for sharing the scanlations >w

[xxxcordsi48.livejournal.com]

thank you!
oh italy, this is why i love you the most. /hugs

[ridensgirl.livejournal.com]

Beretta guns are super cool~! Our policemen are equipped with those =w=/

Poor Ludwig, I believe he shouldn't listen to what the manual says. Trying your hardest on understanding how Italian guns work would be a waste of time :'D
Try with girls instead! Good luck! XD

Prussia, I always knew someday you would've enlightened us with your wise wise words~

I think the typesetting and the translation are awesome, great job you two!

Although, for Prussia's line, atiko translated it more like this- "The time will come when you, too, will appreciate the good side of it"

Not sure how much more accurate that is, but the other line sort of implies that Prussia is saying that Germany will learn to appreciate Italy's militaristic uselessness? xDDD I'm sure Prussia would be vehemently against that even though he does like Italy. Although, if the line is that vague, don't mind me.

[aureliuszvektor.livejournal.com]

Hmm... I think the point is that he'll appreciate everything about Italy that makes him "useless," because it's implied that he really is doing this not out of stupidity, but because he doesn't want to hurt anyone. I think you can be extremely good at war and proud of your enjoyment of it, while still enjoying the work of the pacifist and appreciating its necessity.

Prussia is on top of the world in terms of strength, but I think he recognizes the need for a transition from his world to a world where people like Italy are in control. "Don't have a war unless you need a war..."

Haha, well, enough musing about his character.

And yeah, it says absolutely nothing about "good side."

[chulchinmae.livejournal.com]

Hmm, polyposting, but now that I read this again, it seems to imply that Germany is more aware about Italy, even now, and vice versa. Maybe this took place a little after they met already, but right before their alliance?

...I kind of want to run my hands on Germany and German man's shoulders~ <3333. /derpygiggle

You know, Italy, if you were to propose those guns today in anywhere but the military, you probably would get a lot of praise. x'D Hippytalia?

[ichii-lemoncat.livejournal.com]

I love how Prussia is so much less buff than his little brother- that for some reason is really cute!
And I also love how Prussia likes Italy for his good qualities. You should too Germany!!

[lilpunkinhead.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the translation! This comic is really cute~

[aureliuszvektor.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! Glad to see you're enjoying it =)

[asakura-kindo.livejournal.com]

Oh Prussia... I love you and your faraway look~

Thanks for the scanlation!!! =D

[twyxted-mind.livejournal.com]

Pfffft~! Oh Germany, oh Italy, why do you guys have to be so cute?

[kecen.livejournal.com]

Italy's at it again! Aw, good old lighthearted uselessness (it's a break from what I've been thinking of, fanwork wise).

[franceismyhomie.livejournal.com]

Oh Prussia.

I really really REALLY love Germany calling him Big Brother. That's so insanely cute. And unf, he looks so strong and manly ♥

[aureliuszvektor.livejournal.com]

Hey, thanks for making it look all official (and fixing some of my odder word choices, orz)!

Such a cute comic >_< It's really nice to see Himaruya-sensei updating again.

[sammich]

Thanks again!! I think this is a super cute comic, so I couldn't help but want to see it scanlated once I saw your translation.

I'm so glad he's updating too~!
