I now HATE Hetalia and all Manga because of my friends obession?

So basically, since I was about 9, I've really liked anime and manga. I liked to read and watch it, but I liked drawing it especially. About two years ago, I made friends with a girl who also liked manga, and we had so much fun talking about our favourite series, etc. In the last half a year, I started to lose a little interest, preferring other things and stuff, and whilst I think this has to do with the fact that I'm getting older and more mature, I am also positive that it's more to do with the fact that my friend has become OBSESSED with this anime called Axis Powers Hetalia.
She tried to get me into the whole fandom, but from the first moment I loathed it. I found it a bit pathetic and with no real storyline, so I just smiled and watched her obsess about it with some of our other friends who were interested. However, this 'interest' appears to have gotten a bit out of hand. Firstly, she and my other friends who like Hetalia talk about it NON-STOP. I am not exaggerating, sometimes they go for hours without talking about anything else. They also pretend they are characters out of the series, and whilst it sometimes used to prove entertaining, I now find it to be quite childish. Recently, it has gotten more and more out of hand, and I am glad that my group of friends is rather varied and that I have other friends to hang out with.
The only thing is, in the last couple of weeks, I have come to realise that I actually rather dislike anything to do with Anime and Manga, and that the reason is purely because of my obsessed friend talking about nothing else. Has anyone else had a similar experience. Also, if anyone has heard of Hetalia and HATES it, please comment and let me know. Apparently, hardly anyone hates it, so I must be 'wierd'. :D
Do you think it's normal?

I am obsess with Inuyasha hehe so I understand your friend, about hating anime or mangas probably one day I would do the same but I love it, when my brother bothers me I tell him WIND TUNNEL so I guess is normal to be obsessed hehe
Sorry I know little about either anime or manga. Just wanted to say I think you are right to back off both because of how you feel & because their approach was taking the joy out of stuff you originally liked. So that is normal.
Argh I can totally relate to that. I share the same annoyance with how all my online female anime friends kept talking about Hetalia ALL DAY non-stop (I'm not kidding. They pull all-nighters chatting about Hetalia!), which makes me stop going to their group chats because I couldn't relate one bit over what they're saying. I gave it a watch, and it doesn't interest me one bit, as I am more of a fan of how badass real history was compared to this fangirl crap.

So yeah sometimes, you used to love this food, but now, since it's being forced down your throat all day, you just feel like you've had enough and doesn't want to see that food anymore. Well, I hope that's a good analogy on this lol.
