prussia and japan are friends, but japan had secret feelings.
Japan is a short, slim man with short black hair, dark brown eyes, and is often depicted wearing a white naval uniform with white and gold accents and a katana sword often at his left hip. His first appearance in both the anime and the published manga shows him briefly wearing a more ornate version, with gold epaulets and frog clasps down in the front of the jacket. When he first appeared in the webcomic series, he wore a standard gray/black uniform until sometime after joining the Axis. He can be seen wearing this uniform during more formal occasions. In some of Himaruya's official art, his hair is dark brown, and his eyes are a lighter brown. In the anime, his height often fluctuates. Although he is one of the shorter characters, he can be seen standing at different heights, such as being anywhere from chest height to near eye level height when standing next to America. His eyes also began to change as the series progressed, becoming a lighter shade and not appearing as "void" as he originally appeared. On occasion, Japan can be seen wearing glasses similar to America's but with a black frame instead of silver. A shy, quiet, and hard-working man, Japan does not know very much about the outside world, partially due to his self-isolation, and needs time to adjust to other people. He is very curious and interested in learning things from other nations. His distinct island customs may seem mysterious to others, although he finds them perfectly normal. He tends to have the behavior of an "old man" and was a hikikomori for a long time, having spent about 250 years in isolation and keeping contact only with Netherlands. Though he appears horrified at the idea of nudity or intimate contact, he has erotic woodcuts in his possession, which he tries to hide secretly between his non-erotic books. Japan also voiced his preference for 2D girls over 3D girls to England, Greece, and France in one strip, hinting that he has an otaku side. His otaku side is further shown when he decides to buy a Shonen Jump magazine in his preparations for the New Year. Japan seems to be fond of food in general, very similar to China's fondness, his country's food in particular, as evidenced by his annoyance of having his salted salmon taken off Germany's diet plan. However, unlike China, Japan seemed willing to share recipes and ingredients of some dishes. He expressed dismay at the increase of the price of eggs due to a bad economy. It is said that cockroaches are one of the things that Japan hates the most, to the extent where he could cry over them.
"my milkshake brings all the boys!" prussia said loudly—meaning his butt brings all the boys—while kicking his leg up on a chair. "what the hell is your milkshake?!" germany yelled. they were brothers, germany always called the arrogant, younger guy an idiot, but prussia always said: "im awesome!"
japan had to admit, he felt a soft fondness in his chest when it comes to prussia. he didnt know what this feeling was, but it felt fuzzy. prussia barely liked anyone, focusing on maintaining his "awesome prussia" title.
