I worry whether making him do a Hong Kong action movie pose will make him look cool.
The locals say his name like Hēunggóng.
There seem to be different stories about the origin of his name, but the most likely story about the aromatic harbour (since the trade of agarwood was thriving and the harbour always smelled good) is lovely.

I’m glad the work I started on seems to almost be over now.
I look forward to how it looks from now on!
A few replies continue from here. This includes content from the 4th volume.
>I have one question on the Gakuen Hetalia comic.
Since Lithuania is so busy, he doesn’t really seem to show up to choir club.
Why is he so busy?
It surprised me a bit, so I asked the question.
If it’s alright, please let me know.
>Thank you for your hard work. I read the 4th volume.
I like the story of Saint Aubert, so I never expected to read it in Hima’s style…!!
That was definitely an empty hole in a real skull! That’s one aggressive archangel.
I’m glad that you enjoyed the 4th volume!
The idea of putting a hole on his head because he didn’t believe it is pretty grim.
They laid the foundation for Mont-Saint-Michel as they were drilling holes, so the dear saint is quite the warrior.
>The impression of Mr. Saigo saying “oidon” a lot is actually incorrect.
“oi” means “I/me”, and “don” (like “sama”) means “lord”.
Thanks for the dialect info!
I have the “oidon” “gowasu” kind of impression for Mr. Saigo.
“watashi-sama” and “watashi-domo” might become popular in the future…
>Are you watching ○○ (anime)?
I’ve seldom watched anime for the past several years.
I own the Haruhi and Musashi DVD-BOXes, so the last time was perhaps around then.
I bought the Chargeman Ken! DVD!
Recently I’ve been rotating between Discovery and horror films.
One day I will appear in a TV programme in which I say, “I was saved because I watched Discovery!”
>I was recently interested in Hima’s Joan,
and having immediately researched the history, I was completely addicted.
I think I want to go sightseeing in France soon,
are there Joan places of origin and the like somewhere?
【Domrémy-la-Pucelle】
Joan’s birthplace is there.
The entire town is filled with stories of Joan
to the point where they renamed the place after her,
so it’s an essential place for when you’re following her footsteps.
It’s a bit of a hike to get there.
【Orléans】
A well-known town that Joan liberated.
A house is there that she allegedly stayed at.
It looks like they hold a Joan festival at the start of May.
【Reims】
It seems they hold a Joan of Arc festival in Reims in June.
The Notre Dame cathedral was where Joan accompanied Charles VII to, to hold his coronation.
There’s a closeup statue of brave Joan on a horse.
【Musee de cire Jeanne d’Arc】
A wax figure museum in Rouen depicting Joan of Arc’s entire life.
【Mont-Saint-Michel】
Not directly related to Joan, but there’s a statue of her.
>The theme of my report seems to be “multicultural understanding”.
I think I’ll write about the cultures unique to each country, and the people in those countries (their personalities and such).
If you want something that’s easy to understand,
the world’s nations are comprehensively gathered in “Naruhodo Chizucho Sekai 2011”!
As for personalities, when you chat with people who live in these countries,
they’re full of personality that unintentionally makes you smile, I think it’s delightful.
If you’re trying to gather objective characteristics of a nation,
they’re often written in books about foreign marketing, or business books for those who do business with people overseas, so it’s a secret recommendation.
>I lived in Macau until last year, so I was very glad to see him appear in the 4th volume!!
What follows is information you might know.
・It’s more Portuguese to sprinkle as much cinnamon as you like on Macau’s fried-looking egg tart.
・A dish called Portuguese chicken (Galinha à portuguesa) is a Macau dish. They don’t have it in Portugal.
・In Macau, there’s an art space called “Meow Space”. There are several cats in the shop, it’s probably for those who can’t get enough of cats.
・The Macau International Fireworks Festival is from September until the 1st week of October on a public holiday or Saturday, and they’re displayed 2 at a time. The countries that participate are Germany, South Korea, Japan, UK, Portugal, Taiwan, Philippines, France, Australia, and China.
Japan is pretty strong.
Thanks for the info on Macau!
It’s funny how you can get the relationship to Portugal from the food as well.
You’ve sold me on the egg tart, I think I’d definitely enjoy the Portuguese flavour!
I want to go to the International Fireworks Festival.
>There was a medium tank M13/40 based on lil’ M11/39 that appeared in the fourth volume,
but Italian steelmaking materials of then were deficient in resilience,
and the tank seemed to have collapsed even though it wasn’t penetrated with ammunition.
Thank you for the tank story!
Despite M13/40’s body, the beating it got from welding
made reverse progress to the rivets which blasted off with passion.
They wanted to (at least) boost their defense by piling up sandbags lol
P26/40 is also such an adorable hard worker, I want it to show up in volume 5.
Even though they made good aircraft…
>There’s a story from the international side of Niigata Nippo the other day:
a stork made residence in an Austrian army base,
30 soldiers launched a “scowling” attack,
and the admirable stork was driven out. Isn’t that funny?
It’s surprising that the death glare is part of the Austrian army’s standard equipment…!
