Holiday of Hearts

Get it Japan!! You go girl <3

It's the best Christmas present!!
I was impressed by Japan's proactive attitude♡

This comic has become my most favorite!
As this comic says, in Japan, Christmas is usually spent with one's lover.
But if you don't have a boyfriend (or girlfriend), it is called Kuri Bocchi (Alone on Christmas) lol

@mofushiki Merry Kuri Bocchi to me. Due to various conflicts, the family is arriving to celebrate Christmas a week late. I should put a Japanese flag over the mantel just so people will ask me about it. This is great.

Denmark isn't scared because he doesn't remember the last time Japan and Germany got together...

@CorruptUser I don't think Norway and Sweden are scared they were just bashful and surprised at the kiss

Also Germany and Italy are part of NATO and Germany, Italy and Japan are part of G7 along with US, UK, France and Canada

Moral of the story formal axis can be together but only if formal allied and neutral countries are with them

Don't leave those three alone

@CorruptUser I'd imagine if the expressions were a historical reference, it'd be Sweden that would be okay with it, not Denmark, since Sweden's neutrality was respected during the war.

It's also worth keeping in mind, though, that Japan has a bit of a cultural fascination with Germany and German culture that goes well beyond an alliance in a war that neither is proud of.

@CorruptUser Japan and Germany together. What could possibly go wrong????

Something tells me that Danes are thought to be raunchier than Norwegians and Swedes

@BGMan ...i wonder how you got this idea...? ;)

@BGMan nothing, and i mean NOTHING is raunchier than surstromming...

Religious and religious... just get the mid winter blot over with the sacrifices, so we can get onto feasting and fornicating already.

japan also likes to eat KFC on chirstmas
chicken and kissing
Japan knows what they're doing

@AmericanButterfly The chicken thing is due to lots of (very effective) advertising KFC did in the past. It's kind of impressive they succeeded making part of the holiday via ads.

Also don't forget the Christmas cake. Fried chicken, cake and kissing.

@Manabi yeah i know

In China, Christmas is the day friends hang out and have dinner. It is impossible to get a table in a restaurant in China on Christmas day. Like Japan, many other traditional holidays are all about family, so they wanted a new one for friends. Also, Christmas Eve in China is peace day and they give presents of apples as the Chinese world for apple sounds similar to the Chinese word for peace.

I love how this proves that bro Denmark and bro Netherland's "surprise-yaoi stunt" didn't ruin bro Germany's chance to get with Sis Japan

fun fact I think this the first time two characters kissed on the lips,

I do recall due to a very successful ad campaign in Japan many years ago Japanese now equate KFC chicken as the official Christmas food. In 2019 that one day on Christmas eve accounted for 5% of it's annual revue.

@Mojo Aw, I was going to comment that! XD You're absolutely right; a salesman told Japanese people that KFC was the official Christmas food overseas, and since this was pre-Google (and even pre-internet IIRC) Japan believed him. KFC is not only mega-popular on Christmas Day, but KFC stores stop taking orders and only sell their Christmas Boxes...which is a pain for people like me who only want a simple pepper-mayo twister :P

@Mojo
Well, arguably better KFC than DeBeers.
