      When I first got Dragon Ball in the early 2000 the ‘back’ (regular front) would have instructions on how to read it correctly. I could definitely see this being true.

    Given that about half of Amazon’s “reviews” are basically “I didn’t read anything and ordered the wrong thing. 1 star.” I wouldn’t expect it to be a joke.

    I dunno, I’ve seen certain publishers of manga in English put big warning pages on the back (or what people might assume is the front) saying things like “Hey, you’re starting on the wrong side!” Those warnings are there for a reason.

    It’s actually impressive that someone would order a manga and have no idea that it’s read right to left

    That’s not all: they also flipped all the panels and the entire book too. Also the author’s name is Takahashi or something, what a funny name!

    So weird 1 Star. no I am not stupid why?
