(Scanlation) Hetalia Volume 4 - Ilha Formosa ~Beautiful Island~ + Asia Character Profiles

So I love Taiwan a lot that I scanlated the pages she appears in! Thank you [livejournal.com profile] wafflesama for the raws, which can be found here.

July 6 2011: Made some edits. I feel that it's more accurate and flows more naturally now...




For reference: Omikuji. The fortunes on them are kind of like the ones you find on fortune cookies? Jiaobei/moon blocks 1 2


I don't know how to translate Japanese onomatopoeia, wow. "gaaaaan" is like the sound of a big, horrible, revelation! Taiwan says it out loud here.


In the original, Taiwan says "cawaii" instead of just cute... in romaji.





As much as I'd like to, I didn't scanlate the last page with Hong Kong and China or the page with character profiles of the Asian countries + Seychelles and Cameroon. Thank you [livejournal.com profile] jaywalkings for the pictures!

The translations of the profiles are below.

Vietnam
【Capital】 Hanoi

【National Flower】 Pink lotus
【The meaning of her flag】
The red symbolizes the precious blood spilled during the revolution. The five points of the star represent intellectuals, peasants, workers, traders and soldiers - the five classes of the union.

A very headstrong woman in ao dai!
There are many strong women in her history!

Hong Kong
【Capital】 Central (中環, Zhonghuan)

【The meaning of his flag】
When he was under the British Crown, he used a flag that had the Union Jack, a lion and a dragon on it, but when he returned to China, his flag was changed to the design we see today.

His hobbies include annoying England and China whenever he sees them!

Taiwan

【National Flower】 Plum blossom
【The meaning of her flag】
In correspondence to the Three Principles of the People, blue symbolizes justice of the Principle of Minquan; red, freedom and independence of the Principle of Minzu; white, the friendship in the Principle of Minsheng. (Minquan is usually translated as democracy, Minzu is nationalism, and Minsheng is the People's welfare.)

An island girl nation with a headstrong and easygoing personality!
The good thing about her cooking is that you can thank her for treating you to delicious yet inexpensive cuisine!
Her hobbies include annoying China!

Thailand
【Capital】 Bangkok

The blue stands for the king, the white, religion, and red, the nation.
