List Of The Manga Series Of Hetalia

This is a list of the volumes and associated stories in the published version of **Axis Powers Hetalia** (retitled **Hetalia: Axis Powers** for the releases), by Hidekaz Himaruya.

## Volume 1

### Meeting Of The World

In this modern-day story, the nations meet to discuss solving the problems of the world, only for the meeting to quickly turn chaotic.

* Adapted in Hetalia Drama CD: Prologue and Episode 01 of the anime.

### Prologue

In the midst of WWI, the history of Ancient Rome is detailed, as Germany (searching to battle Rome's successor) finds an unusual crate in the forest. He takes Italy captive, but finds that the other man doesn't seem to mind it...

* Adapted in Hetalia Drama CD: Volume 1 and episodes 01 and 02 of the anime.

### Axis Powers

Italy is sent back home after annoying Germany with a song he wrote, but later returns to work for Germany after his family becomes poor. The war between Germany and France causes Italy to declare himself Germany's ally.

After becoming allies, Germany and Italy meet Japan and form the Axis Powers. Other events include the introduction of Austria, who is not amused at the idea of Italy and Germany becoming allies, and the introduction of Italy's older brother Romano, who just plain hates Germany.

### World's Sexy Leader 1

A strip reprinted from *Comic Diary 8*, featuring Greece, France, and England.

### Power Ranger Allied Forces

The Allied Forces, lead by America, form to take down the Axis Powers in any way they can. Canada and the Baltics (Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia) are also introduced in this chapter.

* Though he was first said to have arrived on Earth in 1947 in the webcomic, **Tony** is retconned to have arrived in 1940 instead, and makes a brief appearance in this arc.

### Snake Vs. Mongoose

After being defeated by Germany, England attempts to curse him with a black magic ritual, but is interrupted by America. England then tries to get revenge on America with the "Busby Stoop Chair", but Russia sits down on it instead (and causes it to explode as a result of his "evil" vibes).

* The first portion, with England's defeat, is a reprint from *Comic Diary 8*. It was adapted into Episode 13 of the anime. The second portion (with Busby's chair) was adapted into Episode 26.

### More Like Gamba Vs. Noroi

England attempts to summon the devil, but winds up with Russia instead. Russia insists that he too has a grudge, and manages to curse Japan with an illness simply by staring at him.

* Adapted in Episode 13 of the anime.

### Ghost Hotel

Japan (secretly being followed by Russia), England, and America each stay the night at a hotel that used to be an old castle, as the ghost of its former occupant attempts to haunt each one of them.

### Cleaning Out The Storage

America finds that cleaning out his storage room is more difficult than he thought, as past memories with England, good and bad, come back to haunt him.

* Adapted in Hetalia Drama CD: Prologue, as well as episodes 17 and 20 of the anime.

### The Long-Awaited Deep Emotion Is Ruined

America visits a deathly-ill England (whose *Panjandrum* weapon failed him), but ruins the dramatic moment in order to wake him back up.

* Adapted into Episode 48 of the anime.

### German Simulator

In a simulation of everyday life, Germany experiences trouble in a supermarket line.

* Adapted into Episode 14 of the anime.

### England, I Have Something To Tell You

**Dream United Kingdom** is reprinted in this chapter.

* Adapted into Episode 12 of the anime.

### Chibitalia

The Chibitalia arc from the webcomic is reprinted, but with an altered/edited ending, mainly to remove the kiss scene between Chibitalia and Holy Roman Empire. Other strips of the arc were either rearranged or left out altogether.

* An additional strip was created for the published version, and acts as an "omake" to the ending: The younger Romano, who is off living with Spain, has difficulty with his movement and is revealed to have Chorea. Spain attempts to cure him by playing music for him and making him dance. Romano seems to recover, though it remains ambiguous as to if Spain's efforts were what helped him.

### Recommend! Sealand!

The first part of **It's Sealand-kun!** is reprinted in this chapter, introducing Sealand to the published version of the manga.

* Adapted into Hetalia Drama CD: Volume 2 and Episode 21 of the anime. Like with this published version, the anime cuts off at Lithuania warning Sealand of the dangers of being a nation and does not show him wishing Sealand good luck.

### Daybreak Chaos

**Maria Theresa And The War Of Austrian Succession** is reprinted in this chapter, introducing Prussia.

* Adapted into Episode 64 and Episode 65 of the anime, though the segment with Spain was excised.

### :) In The World

The Axis prepare to celebrate Christmas, but wind up ambushed by the Allies. Their fight is soon broken up by the appearance of Santa Claus (in actuality, Finland), who showers them with presents.

* Adapted in Hetalia Drama CD: Volume 2. This story was also adapted into Episode 28 of the anime, though the plot was changed considerably.

### Preview: To The Unfinished Tomorrow

A preview of a currently unfinished storyline:

**September 1st, 1939**: Italy bids Germany good luck as both him and Austria prepare to go off to war. Elsewhere, Russia remarks that German people seem to be incredibly easily to manipulate, while France and England get word of Germany's plan and decide to declare war on him. The final panel is of the Polish flag, blowing in the wind.

* Though the end of the preview reads "To be continued in *Hetalia 2*", no continuation of this storyline was given in the second volume, or anywhere else so far. It has been assumed that Gentosha editorial ordered the storyline postponed due to its implications, or that Hidekaz Himaruya has postponed it (or shelved it altogether) himself.
* The timing of this story would indicate that the WWII storyline has officially started, with the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany. However, the bulk of the World War-era stories in *Hetalia volume 1* would chronologically take place after this, as they appear to take place in **1940** (as opposed to the main storyline in the webcomic version, which currently takes place in 1939 before the invasion of Poland).

## Volume 2Edit
