Hetalia~! (a new addiction)

It's been a while since I've come across a comic that makes me smile like an idiot whenever I read it. And it has given me what secondary school sejarah has fallen short to teach:

World History.

Hetalia is a webcomic drawn by Hidekazu Himaruya(correct spelling?). I knew it was something interesting when it was about the world nations represented by bishies but I was too lazy to start searching/reading the manga. When the ONA of Axis Powers Hetalia came out, I immediately fell in love with it. (insert fangirl XDDDDD)

If I'm not mistaken, there are around 30 (or more) countries/nations in Hetalia and all of them are lovable in their own way. Some of my favourites are Japan (cute!! X3), China (poor cute thing), Russia (evil yandere), France (a perverted bisexual frenchman), Austria (fabulous!), Lithuania (poor thing... abused by Russia), England (a tsundere that hates France), Finland and his husband Sweden (<3), and Greece (hot body XD).

Within the crack and humour in the webmanga there is relevance to actual world history. It's world history represented in a funny way which are mostly ironically true. There are also hints of shounen-ai but don't let that bother you because the nations are mostly just humorously gay. You should try reading it. It's fun and enjoyable to read X3. If you already know of it, YAY, high five!! Spread the word XDDDDDD!!!!

I somehow fail to express my excitement and fangirling through words so I'll just end by saying  this:

"PASTAAAAA~!"
