In ''Chapter 63'', his first in the series, Estonia is concerned over Latvia's workload however he says that he doesn't mind, replying that medicine and pounding iron is interesting to him and works as his stress relief. Latvia continues on saying that he also plays solo chess as he works. Estonia however replies that it sounds like bragging to him while his inner voice says "That's terrible but good luck." In chapters 93 through 96 where Latvia drifts off into a daydream about bunnies (one of which turns muscular) every time Estonia brags about being grouped in the Nordic group for sports events. Estonia confronts him about this, saying he always goes into a "weird state" whenever he talks about the Nordics. Latvia replies rather nervously and teary-eyed that he tends to escape reality when the topic comes up as he feels that Estonia is tired of being a Baltic country. Estonia is surprised by this and he apologizes, saying it was far from true and only wants to join the Nordics because he wishes to possess the charms of his "cute Baltic side and cool Nordic side." In ''Chapter 96'', Latvia begs Lithuania to step in and stop Estonia's constant chatter about the Nordics but Estonia replies that Latvia's overacting. Lithuania refuses to take sides, replying they were supposed to be a trio and had been falling apart as of late. He proposes they need to be more united just as they did when they declared independence from Russia. However during the flashback, as much as they agreed they were done with Russia, the group was divided on how to go about it with Latvia not mentally ready to leave right away while Estonia chooses to stick with his plan of gradually gaining rights and seizing full authority.

He soon purchases Mochi!Canada for $1.50 and realizes that he's become addicted to taking care of them. Later on, Estonia meets an older man who also cares for mochis and brings along Mochi!England. Estonia is impressed with him, citing he appears clean and tidy compared to the ones he's seen on the internet. The man thanks him but notes he's a bit of a hooligan at home.<ref name="Mochi1"/><br /> <br /> In '''Omochi Omochi 2''', Estonia takes Mochi!America to the vet after a man had fed him and grew to be bigger than him. The veterinarian is unsure how to fix the problem, only offering to "make it fall in love." When Estonia asks which mochi would like to help out, both mochis put up flags indicating they were both male. But Estonia grabs Mochi!Italy and wondered how to tell if he was male. In another strip, Mochi!Italy shows off a magic trick and Estonia watches in amazement as the tomato disappears. In another panel, Mochi!America's face comes off and Estonia screams in horror, asking what kind of surprise that was.<br /> <br /> In a dream sequence, Estonia is awaken by a winged mochi who calls himself "The Fairy King of Mochi." He teleports Estonia to his world where he can only leave if he brings a mochi back home with him. He sets his eyes on Mochi!Liechtenstein who seems to have taken a liken to him, even offering a stamp. He feels set on taking her but begins having second thoughts when he remembers about Mochi!America and Mochi!Russia and ultimately decides she's better off staying here. He then sets his sight on Mochi!Spain and notices he has a speech bubble floating next to him. He then grabs it, eats it, and realizes it's a cookie. For taking the cookie, Estonia gives him a tomato that he had in his pocket to replace it for the time being.<ref name="omochi"/> He feels fond towards Mochi!Spain and thinks he'll take him home but Mochi!Estonia calls out to him an asks him to take him instead. Estonia however feels uneasy around him. The winged mochi returns noting the two look alike but Estonia insists they don't. As he cries, Mochi!Spain tries to cheer him up by nuzzling him. Estonia hugs him tightly and decides to take Mochi!Spain back with him. However the winged mochi insists on taking Mochi!Estonia instead but Estonia refuses. In response, he beats up Mochi!Spain but Estonia has had enough and simply wants to go home. The winged mochi apologizes and sends them home but not before he slaps Mochi!Spain. Estonia awakens in his bed and soon realizes it was a dream. However he discovers Mochi!Spain hiding under his sheets and pulls him in for a hug, remarking how cute he was. He brings him to meet the other mochis but Mochi!America changes shape to stomp on him however it later appeared they made up.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/otyauke2.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|title=つづきのおもち|accessdate = August 20, 2014|date=2010|trans_title=Omochi Continuation}}</ref><br /> <br /> Estonia has appeared in all but the third and fifth volumes.

While the two have coffee, Estonia reaffirms his desire to join the group. Lithuania and Latvia over-hear this and Lithuania wants to hear more while Latvia notes they can't be the Baltic Trio without him.

In ''Chapter 63'', his first in the series, Estonia is concerned over Latvia's workload however he says that he doesn't mind, replying that medicine and pounding iron is interesting to him and works as his stress relief. Latvia continues on saying that he also plays solo chess as he works. Estonia however replies that it sounds like bragging to him while his inner voice says "That's terrible but good luck." Estonia then appears in chapters 93 through 96 where he brags to Latvia about being put in the Nordic group for sports however Latvia is not listening and instead is daydreaming about cute animals. Estonia confronts him about this, saying he always goes into a "weird state" whenever he talks about the Nordics. Latvia replies rather nervously and teary-eyed that he tends to escape reality when the topic comes up as he feels that Estonia is tired of being a Baltic country. He is surprised by this and Estonia apologizes, saying it was far from true and only wants to join the Nordics because he wishes to possess the charms of his "cute Baltic side and cool Nordic side." In ''Chapter 96'', Latvia begs Lithuania to step in and stop Estonia's constant chatter about the Nordics but Estonia replies that Latvia's overacting. Lithuania refuses to take sides, replying they were supposed to be a trio and had been falling apart as of late. He proposes they need to be more united just as they did when they declared independence from Russia. However during the flashback, as much as they agreed they were done with Russia, the group was divided on how to go about it with Latvia not mentally ready to leave right away while Estonia chooses to stick with his plan of gradually gaining rights and seizing full authority. The flashback leaves Lithuania unwell and is shown squeezing Estonia and Latvia's shoulders roughly. In ''Chapter 103'', Denmark proposes they each design a hotel room however Iceland refuses to participate. Estonia then pops out of a manhole saying that he'll participate in his place.<ref name="HWS3">{{cite book|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|year=2016|title=ヘタリア World☆Stars 3|trans_title=Hetalia: World☆Stars 3|ISBN=978-4-0888-0615-0|publisher=Shueisha}}</ref> In ''Chapter 224'', Estonia brags to [[Japan]] about Finland's "unusual" festivals.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.shonenjump.com/p/sp/hetalia/z2kvNBBxdeP54MKN/index.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|title=(224話)ヘタリア World☆Stars|accessdate = July 20, 2017|date=November 18, 2016|trans_title=Chapter 224 Hetalia: World☆Stars}}</ref> In ''Chapter 235'', Russia decides to invite friends over for New Years Eve to help him forget about the bitter cold weather but Estonia is among the many that decline, stating he has someone waiting for him.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.shonenjump.com/p/sp/hetalia/7OT6FPMbUqOoubbu/index.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|title=(235話)ヘタリア World☆Stars|accessdate = July 20, 2017|date=January 9, 2017|trans_title=Chapter 235 Hetalia: World☆Stars}}</ref> In ''Chapter 335'', Estonia is working at a Christmas market selling small tress.

It primarily contains content that was serialized in ''[[Shonen Jump+]]'' from September 22 to December 12, 2014.<br /> <br /> ==Chapters==<br /> ===Part 1===<br /> The first part of the volume collects strips that focus on the nations of ''Hetalia''. Parts of it form a loosely-connected narrative, though it largely mimics the structure of strips seen under the ''Hetalia: Axis Powers'' banner.<br /> <br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 1'''|第1章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the first chapter of World☆Stars.'' It reintroduces the concept of the series as Italy makes his way to a meeting and arrives late. After Germany scolds him, Italy embarrasses Germany by showing pictures of him drunk at Oktoberfest. After the meeting, Italy begs Germany to give him a ride home, as his car and many of his possessions have been stolen. While driving, Germany finds it difficult to navigate Italian roadways due to the other drivers, who frequently ignore traffic laws, and continues to follow his car's GPS, even when it puts them in danger of crashing into a building. Upon arriving at their destination, Germany decides to do some sightseeing while he is in Italy.<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 2'''|第2章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the third chapter of World☆Stars.'' The comic opens with an explanation on the differences between German and Italian summers, then segues to Germany's sightseeing as Italy shows him around. However, Italy shows the pickpockets and scam artists who take advantage of tourists and the overly-crowded Spanish steps, much to Germany's annoyance. Italy is confused as America found it fascinating, and Germany lists more desirable locations that they could visit. However, Italy takes this as a compliment, and even Germany admits that it essentially is. The chapter closes on a description of Germany's character and personality.<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Italy's what kind of nation?'''|イタリアってどんな国？}}<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 3'''|第3章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the fourth chapter of World☆Stars.'' Italy continues to show Germany around, though to places he goes to run errands, all while appearing to flirt with passing girls. Germany scolds him, but Italy explains that he's just being polite, and "admiring the sparkling charm of a passing lady." Germany asks what he would do if a passing man possessed that charm, and Italy makes a face. There is a breakdown of Italy's character and personality, followed by Italy asking Germany what he wants to eat. As Germany recalls when they've eaten out in both their countries, Italy realizes that a good place to get good food is at his own home and ends up cooking for him. In an extra set of illustrations, the author examines explains Japanese business customs and how they might seem strange to foreigners.<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Germany's what kind of nation?'''|ドイツってどんな国？}}<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 4'''|第4章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the seventh chapter of World☆Stars.'' Germany relaxes outside on his first day off in a while, but is interrupted when Italy jumps out of the bushes announcing that he's come for a visit. Germany tells him not to just show up randomly like that, and asks why he's dressed in only a pair of shorts. While Italy attempts to pass this off as a type of Japanese business attire, it comes to light that his air conditioning has been cut off because he couldn't pay his electric bill. After they go inside, Italy thanks Germany for his hospitality and begins watching television while Germany cooks, wondering why Italy only relies on him. However, Italy begins freaking out when he notices that he's started to gain weight, and assumes that something awful is happening in the world, though Germany remains unfazed. The chapter closes with an explanation as to why obesity has recently become an issue in Italy, and how certain types of cuisine there influence weight.<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 5'''|第5章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the eighth chapter of World☆Stars.'' Still upset about his weight gain, Italy pledges to only eat 0.3 slices of pizza a day, and then vows to work out but can't manage to lift 300g weights. Exasperated, Germany pulls up a survey regarding people's opinions of Italian men with a bit of a stomach that shows most people don't care. Elated, Italy says he is going to eat lots of solid fat that night, though Germany says that's too extreme. They turn their attention to Italy's electric bill, with Germany lending him the money to pay it. Sheepishly, Italy asks if he can borrow some clothes and get a ride home, and shocks Germany when he actually asks for some spare solid fat. After eating some raw, Italy miserably says he'll never eat it again for the next hundred years. As Germany drives him home, Italy remarks that somewhere in the world someone must be eating plain fat. The story cuts to America, who is eating fried butter on a stick at a fair.<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 6'''|第6章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the eleventh chapter of World☆Stars.'' Italy decides to attend an anime convention in Milan, and after he returns home he sends Germany a picture of his cosplay. While Germany notes that he makes a sloppy [[wikipedia:Monkey D. Luffy|pirate king]], he also notices that Italy's clothing is all designer and extremely expensive. The author then explains what anime conventions are like in Italy and America, and how each culture influences what they're like. The following day, Italy brings up the convention again and tells Germany he should try cosplaying. However, Germany firmly refuses, and Italy says that he could still come with him. Germany admits that he's curious about Japan's manga techniques, and then draws a picture of Italy in a manga art style, which greatly impresses Italy. The author explains that 'How to draw manga' books are popular in Germany. Later, after an EU meeting, Italy complains about all of the work he has to do, and jokes that he could go looking for the [[wikipedia:Dragon Ball|Dragon Balls]] and wish away his worries. He asks what Germany would wish for, and Germany says he wishes Italy would start talking responsibility for himself, though he admits that he'd like to talk to his dogs.<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 7'''|第7章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the twelfth chapter of World☆Stars.'' The chapter opens with an assembly of the German nations that would come to make up Germany. As surrounding countries have begun gaining more power, Prussia decides its time for everyone to unify and become one powerful country. Giving a impassioned speech, Prussia tells everyone to stop fighting and, instead, combine their strengths and unify their hearts. Everyone is extremely receptive to the idea, and as Germany is about to be born Austria voices his objections to Prussia as the leader. Instead, he proposes himself as leader, and as a result gets into a physical fight with Prussia that the latter easily wins. Germany is born, and Prussia tells him repeatedly that he can call him big brother as much as he wants. Afterwards, Germany suffers through many hardships, though Prussia would always save him from his perils. At the end of the comic, its revealed that present-day Prussia was day-dreaming this, and Germany asks if he's up to no good again. In a footnote it is explained that Germany wasn't born as a baby because he already had an existing body...<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Japan's what kind of nation?'''|日本ってどんな国？}}<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 8'''|第8章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the fifteenth chapter of World☆Stars.'' Italy introduces Japan to the audience, explaining that though they've been friends for along time, there's still a lot qualities Japan has that he finds mysterious. Later, after Japan humbly accepts a compliment from Italy, but admits he can still improve, Italy wonders if he somehow offended Japan. Germany states, "that's just how Japan expresses happiness." When meeting up with Germany, Japan explains how he's been studying greetings in Europe and has decided that he will practice returning the same greeting that a European gives him. However, after Italy excitedly greets Japan with a large hug, Japan discovers returning the greeting is not that easy.<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 9'''|第9章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the sixteenth chapter of World☆Stars.'' Italy reminisces about how when he first met Japan he thought he might never be able to talk to him. Japan explains how during his isolation he would forget how to speak normally as he often communicated with people who could read his mind. Italy then tries to show Japan how he's been training to be like a ninja. While Japan explains he's never seen ninja's like what Italy describes, he suddenly shows off some fancy moves of his own to get pictures of a cute, fluffy animal. Finally, Germany calls Japan to make sure that he's not overworking himself. Though not exactly resting as others might see fit, Japan assures Germany that he is enjoying his free time.<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 10'''|第10章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the ninteenth chapter of World☆Stars.'' Italy goes to Germany and begs him for help, offering to do anything in return.

This chapter covers the story of when the Persian King, Shapur I The Great, defeated the Roman Army and captured Emperor Valerian. This chapter includes the first appearance of [[Persia]], as he visits the battle-weary Rome to gloat about his victory. Despite Rome's protests, Germania also sneaks in a quip at him. Moving on to life at Shapur's palace, he is shown the design for a relief depicting his victory against Valerian, but Shapur quickly protests its inaccuracy in not showing him holding Valerian's hand, and pulls the Emperor closer by the hand to show as an example.<br /> :'''Act.18'''<br /> ''Originally serialized as the fifty-sixth chapter of World☆Stars.'' Continuing with last chapter's hand-holding, Shapur offers Valerian access to a hot bath, treating him more like a guest than a prisoner. Valerian is not fond of the idea of being stuck hand-holding in the bath. Later, Shapur offers Valerian a chance to go back to Rome, but Valerian declines as he's afraid he would be killed upon return. Shapur worries of the terrible things that could happen if he lets go of Valerian's hand. Finally, Rome meets up with Shapur to discuss negotiations and check up on how Valerian is doing. Though Shapur originally greets Rome with a menacing aura, once Valerian states how he needs to stay in Persia, Shapur changes to a friendlier tune.<br /> <br /> ===Jump SQ. Official Tour Edition===<br /> This section reprints a special chapter of ''World☆Stars'' originally published in the March 2015 issue of Jump Square to promote the release of the first volume of Hetalia World Stars. The Jump Square version included a full color page, but the image is not included in the Volume 2 reprint. Along with the reprint, a few new strips have also been included.<br /> <br /> Starting off with some pointless banter between America and England, a lazy Italy ignores the situation as Germany get increasingly anxious. As the others add more pressure, Japan takes on the duty of announcing the big event, that Hetalia World Star Volume 1 will be released. The rest of the strips introduce [[Ancient Egypt]], explaining how her culture worshiped many different gods. Ancient Egypt's fawning over her gods is interrupted as the Pharaoh Akhenaten announces that he's introducing a new god, Aten, who is to be the only god. Ancient Egypt questions what Aten's abilities are in comparison to the other gods, and Akhenaten claims that Aten created the world. Ancient Egypt has trouble adjusting to worshiping the new god, especially with the confusion of whether his tentacle-like features with Ankhs are hands or beams or light. As she tries to familiarize herself with it, Akhenaten steps in to say that he's the only one who can speak to Aten. In modern day, Japan questions why Akhenaten tried reforming the Egyptian religion, but America insists that Aten was an alien. Back to Ancient Egypt becoming more exasperated with Aten, Akhenaten states she just needs to open her heart to him. Once Akhenaten's son, Tutankhaten becomes Pharoah, the lonely Aten drifts away. With a name change to Tutankhamun, the new pharaoh brings back the old religion.<br /> <br /> The new strips in this section start with a reflection of times in Ancient Egypt and Rome and how even royalty started to dress casual so their clothing would be hot or difficult to move around in. It comes to America stating how this transition to loose fitting clothing is the reasoning behind wearing blankets as shirts. England is not terribly impressed. Later, America introduces to England some "live-in-wear", which is comprised of a mechanical suit that's temperature controlled and offers television, internet and the ability to consume drinks while inside. As England scoffs at it, America demonstrates that the suit can be slept in as well. Giving up, England tries to coax America to remove the suit, but since America is asleep, the suit goes into self-defense mode. England, however, is just having a bad dream, and America laughs at him. Changing the focus then to Switzerland joining the EU. As the other members voice to him their concerns about his social interactions while in the EU, Switzerland assures them that they'll receive special treatment as fellow EU members. However, Switzerland then stands his ground that he will not assist in any fights, maintaining his neutrality. The others complain that is the same as always. Italy thinks Switzerland is cool.<br /> <br /> ==Release==<br /> The second volume was released by Shueisha on July 3, 2015.<br /> <br /> <gallery widths="200px" heights="200px"><br /> File:HetaliaWSVol2TAI.png|Chinese Edition (Tong Li)<br>ISBN 978-9-86-431770-7<br>''Released on January 6, 2016''<br /> File:HWSVol2German.jpg|German Edition (Tokyopop Germany)<br>ISBN 978-3-8420-2308-6<br>''Released on March 17, 2016''<br /> File:HetaliaWSVol2Thai.jpg|Thai Edition (Siam Inter Comic)<br>ISBN 978-6-1641-0007-7<br>''Released on September 1, 2016''<br /> File:HWSPolish2.png|Polish Edition (Studio JG)<br>ISBN 978-83-8001-465-7<br>''Released on July 19, 2019''<br /> </gallery><br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> <br /> {{Manga}} <br /> <br /> [[Category:Books]]<br /> [[Category:Manga]]<br /> [[Category:Volumes]]</div>

Unlike stories in the first volume, the story structure largely resembles that employed by traditional ''Hetalia'' strips, and features appearances by representations of Ancient Civilizations.<br /> <br /> :'''Act.12'''<br /> ''Originally serialized as the twenty-eighth chapter of World☆Stars.'' Introducing the emperor Quintillus, it is noted how his reign wasn't well documented. A soldier announces that Quintillus has been enthroned, but another soldier questions about Quintillus being enthroned the previous day. A curious Quintillus peeks in as they decide he hasn't been enthroned yet at all. As he decides to take the throne and the Romans celebrate the event, another man states that Quintillus has been enthroned every day that week. Later a soldier runs in to proclaim that Quintillus was killed by unhappy soldiers, but another one says he was killed by the next emperor. As another man says he heard Quintillus commited suicide, another one states he just died. Quintillus peeks in again, amused at the commotion, and it's quickly stated that he's still alive.<br /> :'''Act.13'''<br /> ''Originally serialized as the forty-first chapter of World☆Stars.''

Back to modern times, Quintillus relays the story to Germany, who finds it interesting and confirms that Gothicus never did ban marriage. As Quintillus further praises his brother, Germany tries to send him home so his family won't worry.<br /> :'''Act.14'''<br /> ''Originally serialized as the forty-seventh chapter of World☆Stars.'' The imperial soldiers are successful in chasing off some invaders. One soldier tries to compliment the emperor Probus for his strength, but Probus doesn't respond.

Concerned about his health, Probus decides to put effort into farming and rebuilding the cities as well to help Rome get back on his feet. As they work, some villages express how they're impressed to Probus. Confused by his shy silence, Probus takes a bean from them and eats it, exciting the villagers' child. However, the soldiers has little interest in farming, and start showing displeasure with the current situation.<br /> :'''Act.15'''<br /> ''Originally serialized as the forty-eighth chapter of World☆Stars.'' Continuing from last chapter, Probus stays focused on stabilizing the Roman Empire for it's citizens. Rome himself is very impressed by what Probus has done. Probus asks Rome how he's doing, and Rome notices that he's feeling a lot better than usual. Unfortunately as Probus keeps working on agriculture, the unhappy soldiers take action and attack Probus from behind. He wakes up to see Rome and states he felt like he had a weird dream. As Rome explains it's not a dream, Gothicus appears and compliments Probus. Remembering that Gothicus is dead, Probus quickly connects the dots and feels regret that he wasn't able to accomplish more.

The chapter introduces the entertainment of gladiatorial fights in Ancient Rome. Though it's been said the gladiators fought to the death, as Spiculus stands triumphantly over his opponent, he is announced as the winner and quickly starts poking fun at his still-living opponent for losing. A throng of ladies stand on the sidelines and swoon over Spiculus. As the narration questions why there was no bloodshed, Spiculus jumps in to explain. It's explained that to become a gladiator it takes a lot of time, effort and money to train someone for the sport, so battling to the death constantly would be a big waste of resources, resulting in 50% less gladiators right from the get-go. Therefore, gladiator fights would involve choreography to entertain the spectators, and winners would be treated like celebrities.<br /> :'''Act.17'''<br /> ''Originally serialized as the fifty-fifth chapter of World☆Stars.'' This chapter covers the story of when the Persian King, Shapur I The Great, defeated the Roman Army and captured Emperor Valerian. This chapter includes the first appearance of [[Persia]], as he visits the battle-weary Rome to gloat about his victory. Despite Rome's protests, Germania also sneaks in a quip at him. Moving on to life at Shapur's palace, he is shown the design for a relief depicting his victory against Valerian, but Shapur quickly protests its inaccuracy in not showing him holding Valerian's hand, and pulls the Emperor closer by the hand to show as an example.<br /> :'''Act.18'''<br /> ''Originally serialized as the fifty-sixth chapter of World☆Stars.'' Continuing with last chapter's hand-holding, Shapur offers Valerian access to a hot bath, treating him more like a guest than a prisoner. Valerian is not fond of the idea of being stuck hand-holding in the bath. Later, Shapur offers Valerian a chance to go back to Rome, but Valerian declines as he's afraid he would be killed upon return. Shapur worries of the terrible things that could happen if he lets go of Valerian's hand. Finally, Rome meets up with Shapur to discuss negotiations and check up on how Valerian is doing. Though Shapur originally greets Rome with a menacing aura, once Valerian states how he needs to stay in Persia, Shapur changes to a friendlier tune.<br /> <br /> ===Jump SQ. Official Tour Edition===<br /> This section reprints a special chapter of ''World☆Stars'' originally published in the March 2015 issue of Jump Square to promote the release of the first volume of Hetalia World Stars. The Jump Square version included a full color page, but the image is not included in the Volume 2 reprint. Along with the reprint, a few new strips have also been included.<br /> <br /> Starting off with some pointless banter between America and England, a lazy Italy ignores the situation as Germany get increasingly anxious. As the others add more pressure, Japan takes on the duty of announcing the big event, that Hetalia World Star Volume 1 will be released. The rest of the strips introduce [[Ancient Egypt]], explaining how her culture worshiped many different gods. Ancient Egypt's fawning over her gods is interrupted as the Pharaoh Akhenaten announces that he's introducing a new god, Aten, who is to be the only god. Ancient Egypt questions what Aten's abilities are in comparison to the other gods, and Akhenaten claims that Aten created the world. Ancient Egypt has trouble adjusting to worshiping the new god, especially with the confusion of whether his tentacle-like features with Ankhs are hands or beams or light. As she tries to familiarize herself with it, Akhenaten steps in to say that he's the only one who can speak to Aten. In modern day, Japan questions why Akhenaten tried reforming the Egyptian religion, but America insists that Aten was an alien. Back to Ancient Egypt becoming more exasperated with Aten, Akhenaten states she just needs to open her heart to him. Once Akhenaten's son, Tutankhaten becomes Pharoah, the lonely Aten drifts away. With a name change to Tutankhamun, the new pharaoh brings back the old religion.<br /> <br /> The new strips in this section start with a reflection of times in Ancient Egypt and Rome and how even royalty started to dress casual so their clothing would be hot or difficult to move around in. It comes to America stating how this transition to loose fitting clothing is the reasoning behind wearing blankets as shirts. England is not terribly impressed. Later, America introduces to England some "live-in-wear", which is comprised of a mechanical suit that's temperature controlled and offers television, internet and the ability to consume drinks while inside. As England scoffs at it, America demonstrates that the suit can be slept in as well. Giving up, England tries to coax America to remove the suit, but since America is asleep, the suit goes into self-defense mode. England, however, is just having a bad dream, and America laughs at him. Changing the focus then to Switzerland joining the EU. As the other members voice to him their concerns about his social interactions while in the EU, Switzerland assures them that they'll receive special treatment as fellow EU members. However, Switzerland then stands his ground that he will not assist in any fights, maintaining his neutrality. The others complain that is the same as always. Italy thinks Switzerland is cool.<br /> <br /> ==Release==<br /> The second volume was released by Shueisha on July 3, 2015.<br /> <br /> <gallery widths="200px" heights="200px"><br /> File:HetaliaWSVol2TAI.png|Chinese Edition (Tong Li)<br>ISBN 978-9-86-431770-7<br>''Released on January 6, 2016''<br /> File:HWSVol2German.jpg|German Edition (Tokyopop Germany)<br>ISBN 978-3-8420-2308-6<br>''Released on March 17, 2016''<br /> File:HetaliaWSVol2Thai.jpg|Thai Edition (Siam Inter Comic)<br>ISBN 978-6-1641-0007-7<br>''Released on September 1, 2016''<br /> File:HWSPolish2.png|Polish Edition (Studio JG)<br>ISBN 978-4-08-880440-8<br>''Released on July 19, 2019''<br /> </gallery><br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> <br /> {{Manga}} <br /> <br /> [[Category:Books]]<br /> [[Category:Manga]]<br /> [[Category:Volumes]]</div>

Parts of it form a loosely-connected narrative, though it largely mimics the structure of strips seen under the ''Hetalia: Axis Powers'' banner.<br /> <br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 1'''|第1章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the first chapter of World☆Stars.'' It reintroduces the concept of the series as Italy makes his way to a meeting and arrives late. After Germany scolds him, Italy embarrasses Germany by showing pictures of him drunk at Oktoberfest. After the meeting, Italy begs Germany to give him a ride home, as his car and many of his possessions have been stolen. While driving, Germany finds it difficult to navigate Italian roadways due to the other drivers, who frequently ignore traffic laws, and continues to follow his car's GPS, even when it puts them in danger of crashing into a building. Upon arriving at their destination, Germany decides to do some sightseeing while he is in Italy.<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 2'''|第2章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the third chapter of World☆Stars.'' The comic opens with an explanation on the differences between German and Italian summers, then segues to Germany's sightseeing as Italy shows him around. However, Italy shows the pickpockets and scam artists who take advantage of tourists and the overly-crowded Spanish steps, much to Germany's annoyance. Italy is confused as America found it fascinating, and Germany lists more desirable locations that they could visit. However, Italy takes this as a compliment, and even Germany admits that it essentially is. The chapter closes on a description of Germany's character and personality.<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Italy's what kind of nation?'''|イタリアってどんな国？}}<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 3'''|第3章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the fourth chapter of World☆Stars.'' Italy continues to show Germany around, though to places he goes to run errands, all while appearing to flirt with passing girls. Germany scolds him, but Italy explains that he's just being polite, and "admiring the sparkling charm of a passing lady." Germany asks what he would do if a passing man possessed that charm, and Italy makes a face. There is a breakdown of Italy's character and personality, followed by Italy asking Germany what he wants to eat. As Germany recalls when they've eaten out in both their countries, Italy realizes that a good place to get good food is at his own home and ends up cooking for him. In an extra set of illustrations, the author examines explains Japanese business customs and how they might seem strange to foreigners.<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Germany's what kind of nation?'''|ドイツってどんな国？}}<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 4'''|第4章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the seventh chapter of World☆Stars.'' Germany relaxes outside on his first day off in a while, but is interrupted when Italy jumps out of the bushes announcing that he's come for a visit. Germany tells him not to just show up randomly like that, and asks why he's dressed in only a pair of shorts. While Italy attempts to pass this off as a type of Japanese business attire, it comes to light that his air conditioning has been cut off because he couldn't pay his electric bill. After they go inside, Italy thanks Germany for his hospitality and begins watching television while Germany cooks, wondering why Italy only relies on him. However, Italy begins freaking out when he notices that he's started to gain weight, and assumes that something awful is happening in the world, though Germany remains unfazed. The chapter closes with an explanation as to why obesity has recently become an issue in Italy, and how certain types of cuisine there influence weight.<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 5'''|第5章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the eighth chapter of World☆Stars.'' Still upset about his weight gain, Italy pledges to only eat 0.3 slices of pizza a day, and then vows to work out but can't manage to lift 300g weights. Exasperated, Germany pulls up a survey regarding people's opinions of Italian men with a bit of a stomach that shows most people don't care. Elated, Italy says he is going to eat lots of solid fat that night, though Germany says that's too extreme. They turn their attention to Italy's electric bill, with Germany lending him the money to pay it. Sheepishly, Italy asks if he can borrow some clothes and get a ride home, and shocks Germany when he actually asks for some spare solid fat. After eating some raw, Italy miserably says he'll never eat it again for the next hundred years. As Germany drives him home, Italy remarks that somewhere in the world someone must be eating plain fat. The story cuts to America, who is eating fried butter on a stick at a fair.<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 6'''|第6章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the eleventh chapter of World☆Stars.'' Italy decides to attend an anime convention in Milan, and after he returns home he sends Germany a picture of his cosplay. While Germany notes that he makes a sloppy [[wikipedia:Monkey D. Luffy|pirate king]], he also notices that Italy's clothing is all designer and extremely expensive. The author then explains what anime conventions are like in Italy and America, and how each culture influences what they're like. The following day, Italy brings up the convention again and tells Germany he should try cosplaying. However, Germany firmly refuses, and Italy says that he could still come with him. Germany admits that he's curious about Japan's manga techniques, and then draws a picture of Italy in a manga art style, which greatly impresses Italy. The author explains that 'How to draw manga' books are popular in Germany. Later, after an EU meeting, Italy complains about all of the work he has to do, and jokes that he could go looking for the [[wikipedia:Dragon Ball|Dragon Balls]] and wish away his worries. He asks what Germany would wish for, and Germany says he wishes Italy would start talking responsibility for himself, though he admits that he'd like to talk to his dogs.<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 7'''|第7章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the twelfth chapter of World☆Stars.'' The chapter opens with an assembly of the German nations that would come to make up Germany. As surrounding countries have begun gaining more power, Prussia decides its time for everyone to unify and become one powerful country. Giving a impassioned speech, Prussia tells everyone to stop fighting and, instead, combine their strengths and unify their hearts. Everyone is extremely receptive to the idea, and as Germany is about to be born Austria voices his objections to Prussia as the leader. Instead, he proposes himself as leader, and as a result gets into a physical fight with Prussia that the latter easily wins. Germany is born, and Prussia tells him repeatedly that he can call him big brother as much as he wants. Afterwards, Germany suffers through many hardships, though Prussia would always save him from his perils. At the end of the comic, its revealed that present-day Prussia was day-dreaming this, and Germany asks if he's up to no good again. In a footnote it is explained that Germany wasn't born as a baby because he already had an existing body...<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Japan's what kind of nation?'''|日本ってどんな国？}}<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 8'''|第8章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the fifteenth chapter of World☆Stars.'' Italy introduces Japan to the audience, explaining that though they've been friends for along time, there's still a lot qualities Japan has that he finds mysterious. Later, after Japan humbly accepts a compliment from Italy, but admits he can still improve, Italy wonders if he somehow offended Japan. Germany states, "that's just how Japan expresses happiness." When meeting up with Germany, Japan explains how he's been studying greetings in Europe and has decided that he will practice returning the same greeting that a European gives him. However, after Italy excitedly greets Japan with a large hug, Japan discovers returning the greeting is not that easy.<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 9'''|第9章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the sixteenth chapter of World☆Stars.'' Italy reminisces about how when he first met Japan he thought he might never be able to talk to him. Japan explains how during his isolation he would forget how to speak normally as he often communicated with people who could read his mind. Italy then tries to show Japan how he's been training to be like a ninja. While Japan explains he's never seen ninja's like what Italy describes, he suddenly shows off some fancy moves of his own to get pictures of a cute, fluffy animal. Finally, Germany calls Japan to make sure that he's not overworking himself. Though not exactly resting as others might see fit, Japan assures Germany that he is enjoying his free time.<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 10'''|第10章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the ninteenth chapter of World☆Stars.''

Though he dismisses the offer, Germany agrees to help and finds himself with the challenge of cleaning South Italy's room.

Introducing Veneziano and Romano, it's explained that there are two Italy representations due to regional differences, and though they seem kind of similar, they used to be separate countries.

While watching the Italy brothers struggle to pull some items off of a wardrobe, Germany observes that Veneziano is a little bit taller than Romano.<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 12'''|第12章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the twenty-third chapter of World☆Stars.''

However, as Japan's camera is snatched by a thief, America shows his strength by quickly tackling the thief and rescuing the camera.<br /> :{{nihongo|'''Chapter 13'''|第13章}}<br /> ''Originally serialized as the twenty-fourth chapter of World☆Stars.''

While the other two Baltics have nothing to ask for, Latvia chimes in asking if he could finally have other friends besides Russia like [[America]].

In ''Chapter 63'', his first in the series, Estonia is concerned over Latvia's workload however he says that he doesn't mind, replying that medicine and pounding iron is interesting to him and works as his stress relief. Latvia continues on saying that he also plays solo chess as he works. Estonia however replies that it sounds like bragging to him while his inner voice says "That's terrible but good luck." In chapters 93 through 96 where Latvia drifts off into a daydream about bunnies (one of which turns muscular) every time Estonia brags about being grouped in the Nordic group for sports events. Estonia confronts him about this, saying he always goes into a "weird state" whenever he talks about the Nordics. Latvia replies rather nervously and teary-eyed that he tends to escape reality when the topic comes up as he feels that Estonia is tired of being a Baltic country. Estonia is surprised by this and he apologizes, saying it was far from true and only wants to join the Nordics because he wishes to possess the charms of his "cute Baltic side and cool Nordic side." In ''Chapter 96'', Latvia begs Lithuania to step in and stop Estonia's constant chatter about the Nordics but Estonia replies that Latvia's overacting. Lithuania refuses to take sides, replying they were supposed to be a trio and had been falling apart as of late. He proposes they need to be more united just as they did when they declared independence from Russia. However during the flashback, as much as they agreed they were done with Russia, the group was divided on how to go about it with Latvia not mentally ready to leave right away while Estonia chooses to stick with his plan of gradually gaining rights and seizing full authority.

Though the speech bubble covers the painting, the frame has the word ''Balsam'' scribbled on it. [[wikipedia:Balsam (drink)|Balsam]] is a type of beverage that is high in alcoholic content and one of Latvia's most famous alcoholic beverages is [[wikipedia:Riga Black Balsam|Riga Black Balsam]].

However because he thinks too much about it, he ends up blurting out things he should not say, thus he is stuck in a constant cycle.

Latvia continues on saying that he also plays solo chess as he works. Estonia however replies that it sounds like bragging to him while his inner voice says "That's terrible but good luck." In chapters 93 through 96 where Latvia drifts off into a daydream about bunnies (one of which turns muscular) every time Estonia brags about being grouped in the Nordic group for sports events. Estonia confronts him about this, saying he always goes into a "weird state" whenever he talks about the Nordics. Latvia replies rather nervously and teary-eyed that he tends to escape reality when the topic comes up as he feels that Estonia is tired of being a Baltic country. Estonia is surprised by this and he apologizes, saying it was far from true and only wants to join the Nordics because he wishes to possess the charms of his "cute Baltic side and cool Nordic side." In ''Chapter 96'', Latvia begs Lithuania to step in and stop Estonia's constant chatter about the Nordics but Estonia replies that Latvia's overacting. Lithuania refuses to take sides, replying they were supposed to be a trio and had been falling apart as of late. He proposes they needed to be more united just as they did when they declared independence from Russia.

Though Latvia was originally voiced by [[Rie Kugimiya]] in his appearance in [[Hetalia Drama CD: Volume 2]], he is instead voiced by [[Kokoro Tanaka]] in the anime series.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> *His birthday corresponds with the date for Latvia's declaration of independence from Russia and Germany, '''November 18th, 1918'''.<ref name="Vol1Profile"/> Latvia would later wind up occupied by both Soviet and Nazi forces in 1940 and 1941 respectively, before being reoccupied by the Soviet Union in 1944. While it announced its renewed independence from the union in 1990, it took a year for it to actually be restored.<br /> *In ''[[ (No Longer Copy) Book of History Stuff I Can’t Really Draw‎]]'', Himaruya mentions a story he heard of when the Baltics separated from Russia, Lithuania threw away anything associated with Russia, Latvia was scared to throw them away, while Estonia sold everything at cheap prices and believed it fit their personalities.<ref>{{cite book|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|year=2014|title=あんまり描けない歴史系コピー本|trans_title=Copy Book of History Stuff I Can’t Really Draw|publisher=Shimaoka Kenkoh Land|page=4}}</ref> The page was later reposted on ''Bamboo Thicket'' with some additional sketches.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1666.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|title=歴史コピー本その４だっけ？|date=January 20, 2015|accessdate = January 22, 2015|trans_title=Copy Book Post No. 4, I Think?}}</ref><br /> *In ''The Principality of Wy & the Mysterious Sealand'', Latvia's living room is full of small but interesting references. The book he holds has the word ''Rilke'' on it, a reference to [[wikipedia:Rainer Maria Rilke|Rainer Maria Rilke]], a Bohemian-Austrian novelist and poet. Though the speech bubble covers the painting, the frame has the word ''Balsam'' scribbled on it. [[wikipedia:Balsam (drink)|Balsam]] is a type of beverage that is high in alcoholic content and one of Latvia's most famous alcoholic beverages is [[wikipedia:Riga Black Balsam|Riga Black Balsam]]. In the scene where Latvia phones Sealand, there's also a poster on the wall with Latvia and Lithuania's faces on it that says "MTV Lithuania & Latvia".<ref name="Wy"/> This was a [[wikipedia:MTV (Lithuania & Latvia)|real station]] operating in the two countries that launched in January 2009 but only lasted several months before shutting down and was replaced by MTV Europe at the end of the year. In the animated adaptation, the reference to Rilke is maintained as well as the painting of balsam but the poster is removed entirely.<br /> *In a parody otome game described on [[Bamboo Thicket]], Latvia's character is described as a student who worries about what others think of him. However because he thinks too much about it, he ends up blurting out things he should not say, thus he is stuck in a constant cycle. He doesn't think of himself as special but is said to be able to do "amazing things" when he puts his mind to it.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1715.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|title=【質問系】変なところに力入れた|date=February 26, 2015|accessdate = March 6, 2019|trans_title=[Q&A Type] Putting effort into strange things}}</ref><br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <div style="font-size:92%">{{Reflist|2}}</div><br /> <br /> {{CharacterIndex|continent=EUROPE}}<br /> [[Category:Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Male Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Manga Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Game Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Drama CD Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Anime Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Baltic Characters]]</div>

If he did not, Latvia would be ten centimeters taller than he is now.<br /> *In volume 4 [[Estonia]] stated that Latvia was also a member of the Academy Choral Club along with [[Ukraine]] and [[Lithuania]].

Though the speech bubble covers the painting, the frame has the word ''Balsam'' scribbled on it. [[wikipedia:Balsam (drink)|Balsam]] is a type of beverage that is high in alcoholic content and one of Latvia's most famous alcoholic beverages is [[wikipedia:Riga Black Balsam|Riga Black Balsam]].

If he did not, Latvia would be ten centimeters taller than he is now.<br /> *In volume 4 [[Estonia]] stated that Latvia was also a member of the Academy Choral Club along with [[Ukraine]] and [[Lithuania]]. He also states that the Academy's Soviet Union club is targeting them, however [[Russia]] confirms that the Soviet Union club has disbanded. <br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <div style="font-size:92%">{{Reflist|2}}</div><br /> <br /> {{CharacterIndex|continent=EUROPE}}<br /> [[Category:Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Male Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Manga Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Game Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Drama CD Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Anime Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Baltic Characters]]</div>

Latvia also mentioned that he and Prussia worked together not long ago, presumably meaning when they were both part of the Soviet Union.<ref name="sealat"/> In more recent times, Prussia had pet Latvia and found his hair very pleasing to the touch.<ref name="Oresamablog-2"/><br /> <br /> ===Poland===<br /> ''Main article: [[Poland]]''<br /> <br /> Though the two have not appeared in many strips together, it is said that their relations are rather rocky due to Prussia having invaded and gone on a rampage.<ref name="matome_heta"/> A glimpse of their past is shown in the '''Polish-Swedish Wars''' strips, when [[Finland]] mentions the [[wikipedia:Battle of Grunwald|Battle of Grunwald]]. Prussia was shown to have nearly defeated Poland (and been prepared to kill him) until [[Lithuania]] intervened and defeated the Teutonic Knights (after having pretended to flee).<br /> <br /> ===Russia===<br /> ''Main article: [[Russia]]''<br /> <br /> Prussia has stated that he hates Russia to the point of "losing four eyelashes" and being close to puking blood should he make physical contact, though this is likely an exaggeration. Despite this, he might be less afraid of Russia than others, as he explained that Germany's become so strong he's not freaked out by Russia as much anymore,<ref name="Christmas2011"/> and that he's sometimes meddlesome towards him and his neighbors.<ref name="Vol4Prof"/> Russia used to be bullied by Prussia when they were children, however more recently Russia was the one imposing himself on Prussia, wanting to befriend him.<ref>{{cite web|title=ありがとうございました！|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1101.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=March 31, 2011|accessdate=October 4, 2012}}</ref> It was said that Prussia was stuck living at Russia's house and doing unprofitable jobs after WWII,<ref name="matome_heta"/> when he was East Germany and part of the Soviet Union. Russia seems to want to befriend him in modern times, and he was somewhat friendly towards him during his April Fools blog, especially when he mentioned that he napped at Greece's house where it was warm,<ref name="Oresamablog-2"/> and when he went to bed, wishing him good night and asking him if it was warm when he did so.<ref name="Oresamablog-1"/> While Prussia had, initially responded negatively, he seemed to calm down regarding Russia's presence on his blog over time. Prussia has been stated to occasionally get [[wikipedia:Ostalgie|Ostalgic]] and, when he gets Ostalgic enough, Russia will appear to impose himself on him.<ref name="impossiblegame"/><br /> <br /> In the strips depicting the Battle of Lake Peipus, young Russia is shown to be very angry at the Teutonic Knights' carelessness in regards to their movement to attack on the lake, despite that it was covered in thin ice and that Russia had warned him not to, strangling him while he attempted scolding him. However, Russia hoped that the next time they met they would be friends, instead of enemies. Prior to that, young Prussia was one of the countries who would bully Russia. However, when Russia summoned general Winter to fight him and the others who were chasing him, it was revealed that there was no effect as they'd all been raised from birth in cold places.<ref name="rusandfriends"/><br /> <br /> It's somewhat notable that Prussia was once stated to exist in modern times as [[wikipedia:Kaliningrad Oblast|an exclave of Russia's]]. However the same sentence stated that he lived with Germany<ref name="Vol3prof"/> and more recent notes and developments indicate this may have been an error or rectonned due to inaccuracy.<br /> <br /> ===South Italy===<br /> ''Main article: [[South Italy]]''<br /> <br /> Himaruya stated, in answer to a fan's question, that Prussia and Romano often met when they were younger. As a child, Romano disliked him and wanted to fight him, however he was too afraid of him to do so and merely kept his distance, attacking him verbally. In contrast, Prussia holds the same feelings for Romano as he does for Veneziano, and he is always attracted to their climate and topography.<ref name="PruIta">{{cite web|title=ヘタリアファンタジア３|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1297.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=October 31, 2011|accessdate=November 5, 2011|trans_title=Hetalia Fantasia 3}}</ref> In a request for the 2011 Christmas Event a comic was drawn of Romano working as Prussia watched. After briefly exchanging words in regards to Romano being a surprisingly hard worker and his lack of footwear at the time, he fell asleep and Prussia continued to watch him do so with a contented expression. Throughout the comic, Romano was not openly hostile towards Prussia.<ref name="Christmas 2011-8">{{cite web|title=キリクエスト「いつもとは違ったロマーノ」<br /> |url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/2011_12_8.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=January 1, 2012|accessdate=July 11, 2012|trans_title=Different Than Usual Romano}}</ref><br /> <br /> After the comic (presented in-universe as a video) ended, Romano commented that he felt gloomy from how many times he got stuck associating with Prussia.<br /> <br /> ===Switzerland===<br /> ''Main article: [[Switzerland]]''<br /> <br /> When Prussia and Switzerland were both young, Prussia was concerned by that Switzerland seemed so angry at all times despite having never talked to him, and decided that wanted to avoid him.<ref name="Stupid Big Bro"/> Himaruya listed Switzerland as a relative of Germania, like Prussia, making them related in some way.<ref name="chri11re"/> On his blog, Switzerland came to Germany and Prussia's house to have a meeting with Prussia, which he agreed to do despite that he was falling asleep.<ref name="Oresamablog-1"/> Prussia went to Switzerland's house in [[Osōji Prussia]], however he wasn't allowed in as Switzerland felt he was suspicious and he "won’t let someone who has no relationship to me to enter my home!" Prussia then declared that he could work on the flowers in the window, as they were not inside of the house, which Switzerland allowed and joined him in, saying he'd considered doing it that day anyway. Switzerland was annoyed when Prussia praised the flowers he'd grown, however he wasn't as angry as he'd acted, as they were not often praised. When they'd finished and Prussia was about to leave, Switzerland stopped him before giving him flowers from the mountains, saying he was unsure if they'd grow in Prussia's home. Seeing Prussia's honest, hard work, Switzerland considered inviting him in for goat's milk, however his pride got in the way and he didn't want to chase Prussia down. Prussia stopped to buy something to drink before leaving, however he noticed the high price and thought that he would never be able to live at Switzerland's house. This was labeled a Bad End.<ref name="kusoge"/><br /> <br /> ==Appearances==<br /> ===Manga===<br /> Prussia first appeared in a series of strips entitled '''Maria Theresa and the War of Austrian Succession''' which, as the title suggests, covered portions of the titular war. Prussia disapproves of Austria's new queen, Maria Theresa, and threatens to invade unless given a portion of Silesia. Maria Theresa refuses and Prussia subsequently seizes the land, and goes to battle alongside Spain and France. A weakened Austria is aided by Hungary in preventing Prussia's invasion, but at the cost of Silesia. Prussia is satisfied with this, but is threatened by Hungary to return it.<ref name="Eng. Vol. 1">{{cite book|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|year=2010|title=Hetalia: Axis Powers volume 1|publisher=Tokyopop|page=111-115|isbn=978-1427818768}}</ref> These strips were later collected in [[volume 1]] of the published ''Hetalia: Axis Powers'', marking Prussia's published debut. In addition, Prussia makes a small cameo in the volume 1 strip '''He Loves Fishing in Troubled Waters''', having just taken Silesia from a wounded Austria.<ref name="Vol1Silesia">{{cite book|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|year=2010|title=Hetalia: Axis Powers volume 1|publisher=Tokyopop|page=59|isbn=978-1427818768}}</ref><br /> <br /> ===Anime===<br /> [[File:Prussia_Screencap.png|thumb|left|150px|Prussia's formal debut in Episode 24.]][[File:EP53.png|thumb|right|150px|Young Prussia's appearance in Episode 53.]] [[Image:TBW-Prussia.png|thumb|left|150px|Prussia in "[[Brother! We are...!!]]".]][[Image:TBW-YoungPrussia.png|thumb|right|150px|Young Prussia in "Russia and Friends".]]<br /> Prussia briefly appears in [[Episode 10]], during the era of "The War Of Austrian Succession." He is shown beating up Austria until France comes along and takes over. Prussia later returns for his formal debut in [[Episode 24]], where he's once again seen teasing Austria, this time hindering his attempts to impress Switzerland and Liechtenstein. He is depicted with platinum blond and his eyes are a deep red. His cross and gloves were removed, and his tall boots were initially removed.<br /> <br /> He has a cameo at the beginning of the film ''[[Hetalia: Axis Powers: Paint it, White]]'' where he hosts a talent show starring Ukraine and Belarus, and is thrown when neither act shows up to perform.<br /> <br /> In ''World Series'' he has a more prominent role and is the focal character of several episodes. In the [[Episode 53|first episode]], he appears as the younger version of himself known as the "Teutonic Knights" interacting with a young Hungary. The story is continued later in the series with the duo meeting up as adults. His character design is largely unchanged from the first series, though his tall boots are returned to his design in [[Episode 79]]. His Teutonic Knights outfit was originally colored red and blue as seen in early screenings of Episode 53 and "[[My Awesome Diary Part 2]]", but was changed to white with black crosses due to fan outcry.<br /> <br /> In ''The Beautiful World'' his hair is changed to lighter platinum blond and his blue uniform is changed to a slightly lighter shade as well. His eyes are changed to a light violet color with a slight red and blue tinges. He made a cameo appearance in "[[Gakuen Hetalia: Go Forth! Newspaper Club!! Second Half]]" where he plays a broom as a guitar, and makes his formal debut as an adult in "[[Our Failure]]". He appears in his younger "Teutonic Knights" version in "[[Russia and Friends]]", where his uniform contains significantly more black, specifically on the sleeves and around the collar.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> *[[File:TeutonicKnight prototype.gif|thumb|tight|The prototype Teutonic Knight design]]No birthday was given for Prussia in his first official profile. However, in the anime guide ''World Wide Walking'', his birthday was finally listed as '''January 18th''', which corresponds with the foundation date for the ''Kingdom Of Prussia ''('''January 18th, 1701''').<ref name="Birthday"/><br /> *At first, as a child, Prussia was protected by the German Knights in Jerusalem and then became part of the [[wikipedia:Teutonic Knights|Teutonic Knights]] after the knights who had been protecting him had been called to Hungary to protect Burzenland.<ref name="Stupid Big Bro"/> However, in Volume 4 Prussia was said to have been raised in a cold place,<ref name="rusandfriends">{{cite book|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|year=2011|title=Axis Powers ヘタリア 4|trans_title=Axis Powers Hetalia 4|publisher=Gentosha|page=71-74|isbn=978-4-3448-2233-7}}</ref> contradicting his initially given origin, though this may simply have been in reference to the harsh winters of the Baltic where the Teutonic Knights were stationed. Himaruya also stated that Prussia began as the Margraviate of Brandenburg, however it's possible that he merely meant Prussia as the Kingdom and not Prussia, the character.<br /> *The type of flag used to represent Prussia is the one for '''The Kingdom Of Prussia''', which lasted from 1701-1918. It was succeeded by '''The Free State Of Prussia''', its final incarnation before it was dissolved ''de jure ''by the Allied Forces in 1947. In the web-hosted Simple Character Introductions a modern day German flag was used despite naming him only as Prussia.<br /> *A production note by Hidekaz Himaruya states that Prussia was under Russian control after WWII and was stuck having to work jobs that made him no profit,<ref name="matome_heta"/> implying Prussia was [[wikipedia: East Germany|East Germany]]. A scrapped Hetalia game idea by Himaruya has also given some weight to the theory: in the game, the nations are instead humans living in New York City. One of the characters was described as an East German man, and had a very similar personality to Prussia. However as this game never went any further, it is also uncertain. In 2011, drawings about the European Economic Chrisis revealed that Prussia is prone to Ostalgie and that he says that he and Germany must get rid of the "wall in our hearts" so that Germany can become better,<ref name="impossiblegame"/> proving that he was East Germany, and that he currently represents the eastern region of Germany.<br /> *Due to his early anime appearance in Episode 10 being uncredited, it was widely believed that he was voiced by the seiyū '''Subaru Kimura'''. It was later revealed that [[Atsushi Kousaka]] had actually voiced him (doing an impression of Kimura's voice for '''Gian''', from the series [[wikipedia:Doraemon|Doraemon]]). According to a ''Comic Birz'' interview, [[Hidekaz Himaruya]] approved the casting of Prussia, having anticipated that Kousaka would fit the character.<br /> *A sentence in the third volume of the published manga lends evidence to the idea of him being the [[wikipedia:Kaliningrad Oblast|Kaliningrad Oblast]], as it is mentioned that he had become an exclave of Russia's.<ref name="Vol3prof"/> However the same sentence stated that he lived with his brother and more recent notes indicate that this may have been an error or retconned.<br /> *An old sketch by Himaruya depicted a much different representation of '''The Monastic State Of Teutonic Knights'''. Instead of a younger Prussia, the Teutonic Knight has long, dark hair and a beard.<br /> *In a production note, Himaruya stated that he also initially designed a Prussia that had long hair and a face like Poland's, and that his personality was to be a lot more mature and pitiful. He also noted that his hair style had not been fixed and that his head was covered with a hat.<ref name="matome_heta"/><br /> *According to Himaruya, although Prussia is older than Germany, he is shorter in comparison due to having poor nutrition.<br /> *In 2010, Prussia starred in the downloadable mini-game [[Osōji Prussia]], in which he cleaned the homes of various characters. In response to a question about what Germany's brothers in the Germany segment, it was clarified that Prussia and his brothers (sans Germany) are "retired" nations that passed on their skills and traits to Germany, and will disappear over time.<ref>{{cite web|title=スイスさんちはスイスさんと何らかの関係がないとなかなか滞在できないんだぜ！|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-874.html#more|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=September 4, 2010|accessdate=November 12, 2012}}</ref><br /> *Prussia is left-handed, though he was mistakenly drawn writing a book with his right in Buon San Valentino.<ref>{{cite web|title=親父がすごすぎる|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-71.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=June 2, 2008|accessdate=November 25, 2012}}</ref><br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <div style="font-size:92%">{{Reflist|3}}</div><br /> <br /> {{CharacterIndex|continent=EUROPE}}<br /> [[Category:Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Male Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Manga Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Game Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Drama CD Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Anime Characters]]<br /> [[Category:European Characters]]</div>
