A few days ago,
rainy_takako and I ran into a somewhat awkward incident in which we discovered we've both been working on scanlating Chapter 3. Well, that incident turns out happily, as it means we can actually get the thing out of the door faster, and here it is! Hope you like the our work, guys! Without further ado!

Author's note : In the war, Italian tanks took one week to reach a target 60 kilometers away, but once they saw English troops, retreated the same distance in one day.
Author's note : There's a legend that goes how an Italian corps all deserted upon running into the English, and then gets caught by stupid reasons...like hitting on women or sleeping in a restaurant.
Author's note : England's famous Busby Stoop Chair has reputedly cursed 61 people who sat on it to death...
Translator's note : This strip was redrawn for Hetalia The Book, where it is made clearer that the chair exploded because Russia is more evil than the chair.
Author's note

Why did England and America fight?
France and Native Americans once fought the English colonies in a territorial dispute (The French-Indian War). Thanks to England's reinforcements, America managed to defeat France and the Indians and acquired more territories.
At this point, however, England's characteristic tsundere-ness selfishness ('don't buy tea from anyone except me', 'don't be close to anyone except me') had created a good deal of animousity for America. Though part of it was caused by his economy getting strained by supporting the latter in the war,
That's when America fought England to earn its freedom. By the way, though England won at first, America managed to turn the tables at the last minute and achieved victory.
And now, the present. Fight, England, fight!
