GRIMES, IA, October 30, 2013 — Right Stuf, Inc. is pleased to announce
that volumes 4 and 5 of the /HETALIA AXIS POWERS/ manga will be

/Hetalia Axis Powers,/ created by *Hidekaz Himaruya*, started as a
Japanese web comic. It utilizes personification to represent countries
and their participation in historical events, while poking fun at
cultural stereotypes. It was later adapted into a manga (released by
TOKYOPOP) and an anime series that is currently available to North
American audiences on DVD and Blu-ray from *FUNimation Entertainment*.
