World Affairs: Hetalia Axis Powers manga listed by Amazon by Josh Tolentino, 04/03/2010



It's a couple of days late to put up on our sister site Americanator, but it's never too late to celebrate...America, who is also a character in Hetalia, everyone's favorite pretty-boy-national-anthropomorphizing manga. And if Amazon.com's product listings are correct, true patriots might get the chance to read it translated into American, thanks to TokyoPOP.

So, with FUNimation holding the first two seasons of the Hetalia anime, and this potential manga release, it loos like everyone will see which format can cram in more nationalist stereotypes.

Which begs the question, dear readers: How do you prefer your cliches? In print or on-screen?
