"The curly hair is a symbol!"
Genre(s): Comedy, Historical, Parody, Shounen Ai
Synopsis: Based on a popular web-released manga series by Hidekazu Himaruya, this
has been described as a "cynical gag" story set in Europe in the years
between WW1 and WW2 (1915-1939), using exaggerated caricatures of the
different nationalities as portrayed by a gaggle of bishōnen. For
example, the Italia Veneziano character is into pasta and women. The
Deutsche (German) bishi loves potatoes and sausages, and Nippon is an
otaku boy. Installments of the manga have jumped back and forth in
setting from the ancient times to modern-day geopolitics. The manga's
title comes the Japanese words for "useless" (hetare) and Italy
(Italia).
