This is the back of the book!
This manga collection is translated into English but oriented in right-
to-left reading format at the creator’s request, maintaining the
artwork's visual orientation as originally published in Japan. If you've
never read manga in this way before, take a look at the diagram
below to give yourself an idea of how to go about it. Basically, you'll
be starting in the upper right corner and will read each balloon and
panel moving right to left. It may take some getting used to, but
you should get the hang of it very quickly. Have fun!
