WRONG

WAY

Japanese

books,

including manga

lilte this one,

are

meant

to

be

read from right

to

left.

So

the

front

cover is

actually

the

back

cover, and

vice-versa.

To read this book,

please

flip it over and start in the top right-hand

corner.

Read the panels,

and the bubbles in the

panels, from right

to left,

then drop

down

to the next

row

and

repeat.

It may

make

you

dizzy

at

first,

but forcing your brain to

do

things backwards makes

you

smarter in the long

run.

We

swear.
