[[OFFICAL BLOG UPDATE]] with Hima-san answering questions!

Italy's holding a copy of the volume 4, coming out soon guys!~ (thanks to fmavatard  for pointing that out)



The special front cover page of Hetalia Volume 4 is absurdly pretty!


As for the Hetalia characters, are South Asian characters, more African characters, etc going to come in? (India, South Africa, Madagascar, etc)


India-san, in essence, is basically the same character as Hungary-san and is quite a crazy character and a character that I will thoroughly work over a bit more. The variety of people in India is interesting!

Ultimately, what sex is Monaco-san? A girl or a boy, which is it?


Yes, she's more of a girl. Everyone in the story will have a male version and a female version.



Romano and Belgium seem to be acquaintances, but what kind of things does Romano say to her?



Romano: H..Hey...Belgium...Good morning...Damn it...you..you asshole...
Belgium: Cu,cute~  -  mame_meme  

I'm really looking forward to volume 6!

Mail from the future...I'll try my best!



>Could you please tell me which software you use to make HP, like adobe?

I mostly use freeware like alpha edit to make the site. Recently, I've been using adobe dreamweaver, but whatever software is easy to use is also good!




If anyone could translate the Japanese text, feel free to share with everyone~

Translation Credits
Thanks to both:
mame_meme for translating the comic~

I KNEW STAYING UP RIDICULOUSLY LATE WOULD PAY OFF!

On a second note: Hello again Fem!Prussia! =D

And BELGIUM! It's been forever! And with Romano, how cute!

*sits back and waits for translations*

I just realized Italy's holding Volume 4 of the manga. There's that cute guy we know and love. XD I was starting to get worried he'd gone serious on us.

[rikkaidai-fuji.livejournal.com]

Oh,blog update :>
btw, please don't hot link the pictures directly from Himaruya's blog

[austriaxhungary.livejournal.com]

Fixed it~ ;3;

[4n631ic0b1ivi0n.livejournal.com]

something is said about India's character being similar to Hungary? but things are still unwraps about that. (not really sure that is what it says, google translate is confusing)

[5minutetheft.livejournal.com]

Perhaps he means that India has been developed as much as Hungary?

But the dough wrapping---yeah thanks google translate.

[wakalakaosaka.livejournal.com]

Why hello that Fem!Prussia and Fem!Gilbird~

[fmavatard.livejournal.com]

...wait..OH MY GOSH, THE BOW. X'D Good eye!

[8bit-oj.livejournal.com]

You know, I hate to be a downer and I'm sure this has been said many times before, but I really wish Himaruya had kept Monaco a brunette. Just to break up the monotony of SO MUCH BLONDE GAAAH

But then again, it is Himaruya-sensei's work and I have no right to tell him what to do. XD

[miezen.livejournal.com]

It looks like a nice in between shade in this picture to me! Like, comparing to the other characters in this batch of art it's still pretty bright, but compared to previous blonde!Monaco pictures it looks a bit darker?

[8bit-oj.livejournal.com]

OH OH! New thought!

Is Spain going to run around telling everyone to buy volume four? :3

Or will it be someone else?

[last-haven.livejournal.com]

Fem!Prussia uniform is...interesting. I wonder why it's so triangular? Still, she is adorable. I wonder what Hima-papa said about India...google translate is so weird.

/lies in wait for translation

[attashi.livejournal.com]

Haha doesn't really fit time period that it was meant to though XD Women would never have been seen with such short skirts like that.

[gloomykuma.livejournal.com]

Chibiromano and Belgium are just too cute. <3

Monaco and Fem!Prussia! I love the little Fem!Gilbird.

[hetaliafaerie.livejournal.com]

Your icon.

WHAT.

[mame-meme.livejournal.com]

general vague quick translation x_X
- question about other characters like asia and africa etc etc
and he said indonesia character was made at the time of hungary character was made (so long time ago) and etc etc
- question about Monaco's gender and answer is: Monaco-san is female
- Romano calls Belgium as "Belgium". loll
Romano: H..Hey...Belgium...Good morning...Damn it...you..you asshole...(well, it's "konoyaro"-so...usual Romano cursing word)
Belgium: Cu,cute-
- i can't wait for volume 6! ->he's answer: mail from the future! i'll try my best
- question: what's the best tool to create site

[jjblue1.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the translation but... are you sure e's saying konoyaro to her?
To me it looks more like にやろめ... No idea what it would mean though... It might n the same as konoyaro... ^_^;

[mykonos2.livejournal.com]

The link isn't working for me ;___;

Romano calls Belgium asshole? LOL

[mykonos2.livejournal.com]

never mind, I see Prussia now :3

[sotnosen93.livejournal.com]

Awww, Girlbird is so cute!

Rough translationg is rough

[hoshiko2.livejournal.com]

He talked about India and how that India is a lot like Hungary in the sense that they are “crazy/astounding/tremendous” (my Japanese dictionary), but he’s going to do some more polishing up on the character.

Attempt to translate

[yuuyuu.livejournal.com]

Aah...translating for others is difficult x_x But I'll try. Don't mind the mistakes LOL

Someone is asking if there are/will be Hetalia characters from South Asia or Africa, like India, Madagascar, South Africa...
Himaruya says, that India is kinda made like Hungary and unusual so he still has to work over this character.(?)

Then there's someone who's asking if Maroco is a girl or a boy, I think, and well yeah..it's a girl 8D

The next one is like: I'm really looking forward to volume 6!^_^
Himaruya: A mail from the future... I'll give my best!

Someone is saying, that it seems like Romano und Belgium already seem to know each other from the past and asks, how Romano calls her. (in the picture Romano is greeting Belgium and she thinks he's cute lol)

I think the last one asking something about which program Himaruya uses for his site and he answers, that most of it is made by the freeware alpha edit, but lately he also uses Adobe Dreamweaver, but both programs seem to be easy to handle.

Re: Attempt to translate

[maybebaby83.livejournal.com]

thanks a bunch! lol at email from the future, hima has a cheeky side as well =P

[thebookbug5.livejournal.com]

M-Monaco? Monaco! MONACO!

N'awww, ChibiMano, come here, come here, I won't hurt youuuu~

I'm sorry, he's just so cute.

[llandrin.livejournal.com]

here we go~ lets just say that I tried my best:

[austriaxhungary.livejournal.com]

That's really good ;w; I'm really impressed with how you colored the eyes~

Isn't he a charmer

[coffeefate.livejournal.com]

Oh Romano~. You really have a way with girls, don't you? XD
I agree with Belgium. Cuute! <3

[yukihiro826.livejournal.com]

Awwww Romano XD

I wonder if we will have new asian characters in the next volume~

[taylorphantom.livejournal.com]

Volume Four so very very soon, possibly female India, and HNGN fem!Pru~ But I really just need to comment on this:

"I'm really looking forward to volume 6!

Mail from the future...I'll try my best!"

JUST MORE PROOF HIMA-PAPA IS A TIME LORD. HE'S NOW GETTING MAIL FROM THE FUTURE XD

Dr. Who reference FOR THE WIN

[hetaliafaerie.livejournal.com]

YES.

...No wonder his posts were late during the Bloodbath, he was too busy fighting Daleks.

[wafflesama.livejournal.com]

MAIL FROM THE FUTURE SKFJASDDDFDFDFSFDFDJGK

OH, HIMA.

+1

[bioniceye.livejournal.com]

THIS.

[mizu-takishima.livejournal.com]

"Yes, she's more of a girl. Everyone in the story will have a male version and a female version."

Sooooo does this mean some Nyotalia tiems in vol. 4? Hmmm

Also, Hima-papa you're so silly! Mail from the future lol~ but why must you taunt us with volume 4?? T_T (It made me sad 'cause we won't be getting vol 3, let alone 4, sob)

[rosetteroulette.livejournal.com]

I really hope so! :D

[artemis10002000]

Awwww at Romano and Belgium!

I've always looked forward to an India-tan, but now that he's told us a bit about India I'm ridiculously excited.

[lethal-bonbon.livejournal.com]

ZOMG DID HE MENTION INDIA
lol nice..finally.
i have a comforting sense of belonging.

i wanted a male more but not complaining at all!

[nodokaotonashi.livejournal.com]

Actually, Hima said India was close to Hungary in personality. He didn't state his/her gender.
So you can still pray for a male. ;)

[rosetteroulette.livejournal.com]

This post makes me happy! <3

Yay, Monaco! I'm surprised someone asked for her sex. XD;

D'aww, Romano's so cute.

Funny he mentions India. Just a few days ago I was looking at some of his blog posts from 2008 and translating them rather badly on Google Translator when he mentioned India on one of them. I believe he said that India would be a man? So he might mean that they're similar to Hungary in terms of personality, though he could've changed his mind from then (or Google Translator just sucks XD).

[nodokaotonashi.livejournal.com]

Yay, Monaco! I'm surprised someone asked for her sex. XD;

Me too. XD She looked very feminine even the first time we saw her.

[ambientlight.livejournal.com]

ハンガリーさんと同じくらいに出来ていたキャラ is more like "a character who's been developed to about the same degree of Hungary-san", suggesting that Himaruya's put a lot of thought into India. *_*;;

[ambientlight.livejournal.com]

This also means that there's no indication in Himaruya's comment whether or not India is female...
