The 10th Anniversary of Hetalia

Hey guys, so in Japan right now it is officially July 6, 2016. Ten years ago, on July 6, 2006, Himaruya posted the first chapter (JP | EN) of the Hetalia webcomic on Kitayume.

That’s right! Hetalia has officially been around for TEN YEARS. Once you’ve pulled yourself off your fainting couch after the reality of the passage of time and your body’s rapid aging has sunk in completely, maybe check out the #10YrsOfHetalia Anniversary Event that’s going on all this month.

Also, as of this writing, the hashtag ヘタリア10周年 (Hetalia 10th Anniversary) is trending on twitter in Japan at #3 with over 21,000 tweets. How cool is that?

Congrats Himaruya-sensei on making it to ten years! Here’s to another ten more!
