Hetalia - MANGA ~ Review

First things first, the summary. Hetalia doesn't exactly have a summary. There are a lot of characters who are named after countries in Europe, Africa, Asia, and various parts of the world. There is an America, a Cuba, a Canada, and, my favorite, Italy, and many more. The entire manga basically is a gateway to history that you may have never known, or that you may know, in a much more fascinating and hilarious way.

So, the drawing first. It is very well drawn. Because there are so many characters, I still don't know, sometimes, who is who, but that's just me. Every character has a distinctive thing about them. For instance, Germany has slick back blond hair and a very square face. Italy has a small curl from his hair. France has long hair and a distinguished look. England has thick eyebrows, the list goes on. I'm always really surprised with the intricate details that everyone seems to notice in the background. It's rather hilarious in context when you're reading it.

Now, the overall script. This manga is absolutely HILARIOUS. Of course, some jokes are more obvious than others, but overall, the manga makes you laugh really hard. Of course, it's on LiveJournal, so you need an account to read it and it sometimes is out of order, so you're not entirely sure which goes first. But, either way, you don't always need to know the order, because it's hilarious either way, whether you read it in order or out of order. Later on, I'll give you the link to where you can read Hetalia.

And then there's the storyline. I don't have much of a complaint, but there really is no storyline, to tell the truth. It's just about these countries going through the different wars, like WWI and WWII and some other wars. At least, I don't see any prominent storyline. But, it is still a great manga, even so.

Yes, this review is rather short, but here is the link: Hetalia Live Journal.

But, in order to read it in English, be sure to click on the links that say 'live journal' in them. Some of them are locked, so, for those, you do need to be a member, so beware. For others, though, they do not require you to be a member.

Anyway, I highly recommend this manga to anyone who has a good sense of humor. It will make you crack up so hard. Enjoy!
