Denmark swings too low at Sweden as usual


背後がガラ開いてたらとりあえず殴るよ

Sweden’s Image during the 17th Century.

By the way, France managed to instigate Sweden very well during this time~.


I like Queen Christina out of Swedish Kings because she was freedom.

>質問･･･というより描き方を教えてほしいのですが、よろしいでしょうか？
ドイツとポーランドの髪型がうまく描けません


オールバックの部分は角っぽくするとそれっぽくなります。
そういえば初期ドイツさんは丸くなったり長方形になったりすごい不安定さ。


真ん中で分けてあとは丸く毛先もさーみたいな感じで。
目元は困ってる感じなのに口元がニヨニヨみたいなイメージで描いてますね。

Vol. 3 is coming


Hetalia vol. 3 finally comes out in May, thank you for waiting!


↑I managed to include most of the characters I wanted to show after Volume 2.
This time, I drew new strips like historical stories that I’ve wanted to draw and a summary of that character so I’m very satisfied.
I hope you enjoy the third volume.

Chibi-san Date and “deathmatch with Chibi-san” are both shortened to Chibide.


In the middle of throwing up flying prawn.
Once this battle is over, next is Nantucket and Taiwan.

[T/N: Ebisori (えび反り) roughly means prawn bend. If you google image search Ebiso in Japanese, you get a bunch of pictures of people trying to imitate how prawns look like. So maybe the translation would be more like “Now doing a jumping prawn bend while throwing up blood.” Maybe Himaruya’s getting stressed. That, or it’s just nonsense that Himaruya came up with and he decided to write it in the post for laughs.

I’ve Waited A Long Time, So I’m Learning About Monaco!

【Principality of Monaco】

Mini country that resides near the Italian border in France.
It is the second smallest country in the world other than Self Proclaimed Nations.
You can see the whole country if you climb a mountain.
1/4 of it’s annual income is through tourism.
Even though it is tiny, it has its own language.
Casinos, ballet, and F1 are famous. They have really good public safety.

Monaco is from ancient Greek word of “Monoikos (One house)”
It used to be Greek territory, and was referred to as “House” of Hercules.
It was called Hercules Monoikos Postes because of the large number of Hercules worshipers.

The Grimaldi family of Italy’s Genova opened the current royal family.
It was controlled by France later, but under the protection of Sardinia, gained independence from France as the Principality of Monaco.
Currently, it is protected by France, and is reliant on it for diplomacy and military.

【National Flag】

Red and white are the colors of the crest of the Grimaldi family.
It is the opposite to Poland, and the same as Indonesia.
Indonesia’s red is the sun, and the white, the moon.
Symbol colors of Majapahit.

Poland’s flag is from the military flag from “Schlacht bei Tannenberg” (because there was a white eagle drawn onto red).
Red represents the sunset, and the white, an eagle. Apparently it was different when the country was socialist.

The reason why the flag is the same as Indonesia:
They had a discussion, but decided to keep on using the identical flags after consensus of “There are valid histories behind both.”
You can see the different from the fact that Monaco’s flag is closer to a square.

【People of Monaco】

Even though citizenship laws were loosened in 1992, the percentage of Monegasques make up only 16% of the population (was 19% in my book…it’s decreased…).
84% of the population has foreign citizenship, and half are French, and the next, Italians.

To be a citizen of Monaco:
– Have a Monegasque mother or father
– Marry a Monegasque
– Become hired by a Monegasque and live in Monaco for 10 years

To become a “pure” Monegasque citizen, it takes 3 or 5 generations.

【Monaco’s Currency】

It uses Euro like France right now, but they used to have Monegasque Franc.
Because of the limited number, they are collector’s items. The designs are nice.

【Japanese Garden】

A Japanese garden suddenly appears a short walking distance from a famous casino.
It is an authentic Japanese Garden, and was apparently constructed by employing a Japanese gardener.
It is like a normal park, and you can go in as you like and enjoy.
The Japanese that Monegasque probably wrote with a lot of effort is cute.
