User blog comment:NefkaAlice/Has anyone actually read a history book for fun thanks to Hetalia?/@comment-3064033-20101003135009

I'm the kind of person who enjoyed history long before I had even heard of Hetalia. I would probably read a book about history whenever I felt like it and not think twice about it. (Which could explain why my history grades go through the roof.) Hetalia is kind of a fun history related thing to me. It has definitely helped me in my classes. (I knew that the low countries were Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands thanks to the fact that they are all related in the series.) So in regards to your question both yes and no. If the book held my interest, I would read it anyway thanks or no thanks to Hetalia. If the book had to deal with a part of history that Hetalia is involved with then I would probably read that too.
