For those curious about this new series, Hetalia: World Stars is the latest series to come from Hidekaz Himaruya. The series launched alongside Shonen Jump+ but took an extended hiatus in April 2018. The manga will resume publication on April 1, so fans will get a double dose of Hetalia this spring.

If you are unfamiliar with the franchise as a whole, Funimation has much of Hetalia's original anime up to watch. You can check out the site's official description of the show below:

"Forget everything you learned in history class, and imagine all the nations of the world as cute guys hanging out on a wildly inappropriate reality show. Now, toss in every stereotype ever and prepare to pledge allegiance to your favorite superpower in Hetalia Axis Powers!"
