Gakuen Hetalia & the Future of this Blog

So my school year is beginning to come to a close, and I don't know if I will decide to continue this blog afterward, so here is just a warning. I'll make a formal post later if I do decide to stop this blog.

... ... ...

 Anyway, the Gakuen Hetalia, or literally translated to "Hetalia Academy," was quite the interesting development to me when it appeared in the anime. I believe it is based off of the game that was originally released in Japan, and is an AU outside of the anime's actual "story."

I find it quite odd that the creator would make a dating sim about it when the anime and manga were fairly new, and then be passionate enough about it to put it into the new seasons of the anime, though not odd in a bad way. It's interesting and quirky, but it bothers me that the game doesn't have an official translation (that I am aware of), so I couldn't play it.

Regardless, I'd like to see where Hidekaz Himaruya can take it and further the fandom with the implications of the dating sim.
