Think of it like WWII, except every country is a pretty boy instead. A hilariously stereotypical pretty boy. America loves burgers, Russia is into the vodka, and China has pandas and a wok. It is centered mostly around Italy, who has both a North and South character. The Hetaria portion of the name is probably mocking Italy, as Hetare means "Useless."

Chibisan Date revolves around the life of Seiji, a young artist living in Nantucket.

Kanazawa Noto joins Kitakou's broadcasting club on his first day of school. Hilarity ensues.

An offshoot of the original Hetalia Axis Powers. Hetalia follows the strange personifications of Italy and other nations as they navigate their world.

Upon being told by her parents that she's actually a highly efficient, time-traveling android, Ruku embarks on an adventure, traveling back to the Taisho Era (1912–1926) to search for her grandfather. She meets Oni-san upon her arrival and is whisked away to his domain.

Barjona Marina High School is the strongest delinquent school in this prefecture. It's nicknamed "Bakajona". With delinquents around every 360 degrees at this school, the long-discontinued broadcasting club is being brought back! Or something like that. But it's too impossible. Because we're just a bunch of delinquents. Plus we don't have any experience with broadcasting. Ah, we just want to meet and be popular with cute girls!

The manga centers on Daigo Hinata, a high school boy who worries about his future. One day, a well-dressed and well-mannered gentleman escorts him to the basement of Japan's National Diet Building, where he is ushered into a posh room that houses prime ministers of Japan from eras past. He finds out that he will be the nation's new prime minister in time, and will be taught how to conduct himself by some of Japan's best heads of government.

In a world where nations are personified as humans, Italy has joined Germany and Japan as a member of the Axis Powers. However, he proves to be cowardly, carefree, and lazy--very different from his strong ancient ancestor Rome. Meanwhile, the Allies must deal with their own personal quirks. *Hetalia* explores the alliances, rivalries, and relationships between nations. Countries are depicted as a mix of truth and stereotype--America loves heroes and fast food, Germany is stern and strict, and France is a romantic. Though its main story line follows WWII, it includes character interactions from throughout history. This is a comedic look at their past and progress.
