Volume 3 Profile Translations Part Two!
Because I hate just sitting on them, and am terribly slow at translating them because I have too many AP classes
...Well, I blame the AP classes, anyways. (I like AP Euro, at least.)
This time around you get Italy, Japan, Germany, America, Canada, England, Poland, South Italy, and Himaruya himself! (I must say, I think Himaruya's amused me the most.)
Things in (( )) are my comments, and the one thing after Canada's in ( ) is actually from the book.
If you see any errors, please point them out to me. Thanks!
The Happy Axis Friends (pages 10-11)
Italy
A playful, cheerful, blubbering, girl-, pasta-, pizza-, and siesta-loving Latin boy!
When he actually makes a serious effort, he can be amazing, but he only tries in front of girls!
((Too many adjectives D: And I want to see this serious effort...))
Japan
A quiet, serious, Oriental, warrior nation.
His special skills are reading the atmosphere and being tactful.
His island nation has a reputation for having a mysterious culture and thoughts!
He enjoys himself during all four seasons!
Germany
A too-serious and sincere young man.
Although his physical strength is strong, he is weak for rules!
He is always troubled by seeing to one or another of Italy's problems!
He is covered with beer several times a year! ((Not entirely sure what this is talking about.))
Page 16
America
I am the number one hero!
Perhaps because of his youth, he can muscle out of things other nations can't!
Loves hamburgers, cola, and ice cream!
((It actually says: Ore is number one na hero da yo! originally. Himaruya, I think you need to work a bit more on your is/am differentiation.))
Canada
America's cheerful and amiable neighbor!
Although all sorts of things fly in from America, his personality is that he only thinks "that bastard" and won't be dragged along!
At the Olympics, he frolicked a bit too much, and is now in sage mode! ((Sage as in wise person, not the plant.))
His partners are maple syrup and the white bear Kumajirou!
(They can't remember each other's names correctly!)
England
Though he always says cynical things, he is a romanticist gentleman-punk nation!
Criticises American movies as being unrealistic, and by his side are fairies and unicorns he is friends with!
His cooking repertoire is sad and small!
Page 17
Poland
Although he is shy and afraid of strangers, once he gets used to you, he acts like a prince!
He acts silly, but surprisingly, he's quite sensitive!
When he is determined to go in a strange direction, no one can stop him!
Page 19
South Italy
Aloof towards men, but sweet to girls, he is the southern half of Italy, a somewhat useless older brother!
Cries because he is worse at things than his younger brother!
Loves pasta, pizza, tomatoes, and girls!
Though the brothers' relationship is bad, he has come to really rely on his younger brother!
Back flap
Himaruya
The reincarnation of the Black Dragon Clan's Dark Bloody Sword weilding Last Dragon Master.
As he harbors the Zeus Diamond in his body, he is being targeted by an organization, and is currently taking shelter at Gentosha Comics, where he has taken up the pen.
Part One (Includes Prussia, Hungary, Austria, Belgium, Greece, and Turkey!)
