Only one volume of the manga has been published in the spring, so it is amazing for an anime announcement to be made only 4 months after the manga's first publication. :P It at least certainly made me more interested in history. Because of this, fans say that this manga is the key to world peace.

It is a gag manga that takes pieces of history and makes them funny, poking fun at the stereotypes and quirks of countries around the world. He is joined by the serious sausage-eating Germany and the polite and shy Japan. The story is centered around the Axis Powers, and the main character is Italy, who is a clumsy idiot who loves pasta and pizza. The main setting is the WWI/WWII era, but other scenes from history (such as the American Revolution) are sometimes depicted. Hetalia (made up of the words for useless + italy) is the story of the countries of the world made into people, carrying with them that nation's stereotypes. Making a thread for the recently-announced Hetalia anime.
