(note: intro is kinda...meh and insidejokey. skip to prologue for story)
...I haven't even READ this yet, but the premise ITSELF has me just dyiiiing of laughter.
Here's two of the character brief's via wiki:
America - America is an energetic and headstrong character. In the series, he is raised by England and later fights for his independence. The self-proclaimed leader of the Allied Forces, his catchphrase is "I'm the hero!" His ideas for solving international problems are often absurd, but he is usually oblivious to the opinions of others. America's ideas and inventions are grand, but rarely go anywhere.
England - England is a tsundere character. In the series, he is depicted as an irritable young man. A former pirate, he is now a cynical and sharp-tongued gentleman. Some of his notable character traits include his terrible cooking skills, foul mouth, and ability to see supernatural creatures.
And apparently has a crush on America. XD
As explained by TVTropes: "A popular Japanese series that is an allegorical tale of the history of Europe, especially during World War Two, with anthropomorphizations of different countries and the various stereotypes associated with them. Axis Powers Hetalia is at once educational, irreverently silly, occasionally touching, and potentially offensive."
There is apparently also an incestuous love triangle between the USSR offshoot nations, gender confusion from China, and Korea keeps getting fucked. Oh and Italy accidentally marries Japan during WW2.
History will never be the same again.
I likes it.
