 WRONG WAY

Japanese books, including manga like 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.
