Honestly, I think it's perfectly understandable that the artist of this comic would want to be careful about her readership and "shoot herself in the foot" in terms of popularity because of just how potentially offensive the series is. She's a very skilled artist. Anyone who's seen her work can attest to that, so I don't think she will have too much trouble putting something else forward if this achieves reasonable success - which it already has, but it really is quite an uncomfortable series.

In a way, Mitternacht Marine is even more controversial than Hetalia because - she admits it herself - it's a comic about personified weapons. Weapons in the real world that have killed people, that are rooted very much in real live wars that have touched peoples lives in pretty devastating ways. It's history, but while Hetalia touches on the cultures of countries and little quirks as much as any events themselves, the fact that these are weapons of war pretty much grounds them in the gritty, ridiculously sensitive side of the past.

Not to mention she addresses them directly in her darker comics.

This "entitled" attitude worries me because... I'm actually a fan. I've followed the series for probably more than a year now - but it's sensitive. I can see so much wrong with it; the artist's view of history is ridiculously skewed/biased, to the point where I feel literally uncomfortable about it.

Please, keep this in mind and see that this is why she doesn't want her work being spread too far. I wouldn't want to get in trouble for indulging what people call "genocidal worshiping", and neither does she.
