Point, but one Japanese dude who draws a webcomic != attitude of Japan as a whole. For all we know, the author is just as likely to acknowledge that his country is at fault as he's likely to deny they did wrong. No one really knows.

True enough. It still rankles me, however.

Very understandable, considering the material we're discussing. I would probably share your sentiments if I took Hetalia as something besides a not-quite-PC shallow comedy.

Oddly enough, this discussion makes me think of the book I just finished called "The Wind-up Bird Chronicle". Have you ever heard of Haruki Murakami by any chance?

I'm afraid I haven't! I'll have to look it up next time I'm at the library. What's it about?

It's hard to describe because it's so fragmented. The main character starts out by losing his cat, meeting mysterious women, having his wife leave him, and, most importantly, being contacted by an old man who fought in Manchuria during WWII who ended up changing his life. Everything ties up completely at the end though, so it's not just some deceptively shallow word salad.

What made me think about this book was the fact that Murakami wrote about what the Japanese did in Manchuria with such an unflinching eye. Was there some favoritism towards the Japanese? Yes, considering that it's one of his older works, but he balanced it out by being as graphic as possible when describing the racism and brutality between the Japanese and Chinese during the war.

Sounds like an interesting read. Thanks for the rec!

The author pretty neatly dodges any bombshells (the point of the WWII comics is mostly to illustrate Italy's uselessness during WWII more than anything else) by not discussing the great atrocities of any nation, focusing exclusively on military events and actions.

I kind of just read it for the idea of personifying certain (mostly non-tragic) events in history. Also. America. fuck yeah.

Yeah, I know. Not quite such a big fan of it since I just started reading it last week or so, but a fan nonetheless. S'up.

I read it mostly for the laughs myself, but I'll admit some of the characters are growing on me. Especially woobies like Canada and Lithuania. I'm a sucker for woobies. Also, everything is better with Hungary.

America's enthusiasm kind of scares me, though. And I say this as a US citizen.

America makes me LOL, and I say this also as a US citizen. I think as a heavy generalization, he's pretty accurate to the American attitude regarding foriegn policy (We can help! We can do it! We're the hero!).

Canada is quickly becoming one of my babies, and if Hetalia slash didn't squick me SO HARD I would basically ship America with Lithuania if only because yeah, I'm a Cold War kid and any country in Russia's possession is a country that I wish America would adopt and help, IRL and in the comic.

Glad you're enjoying it! I feel one really has to take this series for what it is; if you can't get past it parodying history, then it's not a good series for you.
