User blog comment:Pary16/Hetalia featured on "otaku USA" magazine/@comment-1151277-20100827154059

Oh dear they mentioned the AnimeBoston incident in passing in the article X_X. The review itself is generally positive though. (Basically the reviewer says that while it has its flaws it is generally enjoyable and worth taking a look at).

There's another article in the magazine about manga online/cell phone distribution and manga webcomics. Hetalia is mentioned, and apparently there's a webcomic in existence named "Menga Kenkanryu, "Hating the Korean Wave," an anti-Korean political/hate manga that no one would publish until it found an audience online." Damn that's sickening - no wonder South Korea has issues with the Korea character in Hetalia.
