Hello, it’s Himaruya, who’s been watching horror movies non-stop,
In an old American movie, even though it’s a horror movie, the protagonist and heroine started belting out a song about love musical style!
And the mob and monsters started singing along…
It’s kinda cute how it’s like High School Musical.

It’s almost time for the art book to be shipped out.
I’m a little nervous, but I hope everyone will enjoy it.
A cute omake is going to be included so I hope you enjoy it with your eyes and feeling it.
Also included is reference book of all the miniature characters I’ve drawn.

As well, there’s going to be an announcement soon, of things that are to be release and about the series!
My new editor is letting me do a lot freely.

It’s a little lacking with just text so I’ll UPUP the drafts of the mini characters.


The original drafts.
Germany and his dog felt too intimidating in this scrapped version.
If I were offered a beer by a tall person like this, I’d be too scared.


News out of Russia that I laughed at.
Wh-why Won’t You Move~!? A Wild Squirrel Causes A Disturbance, Crying* Over A Dog Statue

Also, I heard there was a crazy mouse that would face you boxing-style and will try and tackle you in Russia…


Denmark-san who has been wanting to get closer to Germany lately.


A simulation game I’ve been addicted to from a long time ago, has Italy fighting along side Germany in the German part, but during the England part, Italy won’t do anything at all (actually they do things that seem more like interference) If it’s after encountering France they’re obedient and cute, but after a while they’ve wandered off in small groups to places where you wouldn’t have expected them to go running off to and to me that’s what’s so unbelievably cute about the Italy army.
The Carro Veloce L3/33 takette is mai waifu~


I want him holding something other than a Japanese sword, but I don’t know what it should be.

[Useless fact of the day]

Spain made a tank based off of a farm tractor.
It’s crazy how much of an impression of farm work and pastoral quality it gives when you see it.
[TN: Probably the Trubia/Trubia A4 tanks?]

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.

Doraemon is very popular in China.

Attack of New Year’s Eve


If there wasn’t a phone call I would have fallen asleep at the computer so I’m thankful for phones!
The updates have been posted late each time today and I’m sorry for that.
I had a good sleep and my mind is clear now.
Next update at around 1AM.

Also I saw a news piece about how the British seem to have a tendency to end up making their cats fat.
I wonder if they spoil them too much.

Britain’s tampering of “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” was unusual

The Wikipedia photos of Norwegian Forest Cats are awfully cute.


I took the previous photos in this way.

Which reminds me, since I forgot to write about some recommended films, I’ll post them now.

– “Madagascar 2”: A lovely film that will make one cry, laugh, and love all the characters.
 I recommend this film to many people.

– “The Emperor’s New Groove”: An unusual adventure fantasy.
 It’s a Disney movie, and yet I had a feeling the entire time that the two guys would get lovey-dovey. (though the other was a llama)

– “Crazy Series” “Nippon Ichi Series”*
 Truly funny! “Crazy Ougon Sakusen”(Las Vegas Free For All) is this luxury

・”Valerie and Her Week of Wonders”: How come those glasses will endure impossible methods of killing

[T/N: “Nippon Ichi Series” and “Crazy Sakusen Series”: Two series of comedy films released between 1963-71 and created by members of 60s Japanese comedic jazz band Crazy Cats. “Las Vegas Free For All” (1967) is a film from the latter series about three guys who travel from Tokyo to Los Angeles. They then hear about how much money they could win at casinos in Las Vegas and travel there despite the troubles they encounter along the way.]

Anglo-Japanese Alliance


England-san worked too hard during the Alliance.

Big-wigs between Japan and England exchanged Xmas cards garnished with bilateral national flags.
And England made Japan various kinds of ships diligently.
And the launching ceremony was held on a grand scale bilaterally (The card is cute).
There were various exchanges between Japan and England.
