   > P.S. Being a newbie, I was wondering why, if they bother to translate the   
   > mangas to English, why they don't reverse the pages also?   
      
   It is not just a simple case of mirror flipping the pages - Japanese Manga   
   flows differently in more ways than simply right to left VS left to right.   
   At least if it is unflipped you know to follow the Japanese Manga reading   
   flow which you get used to very very quickly.   
      
   Flipped titles would have me scratching my head wondering whether it has   
   been completely relaid out and is meant to be readable like a strict western   
   comic flow or whether it is just a mirror flip of the Japanese flow. If it   
   is completely relaid out then it would entail major graphical alteration   
   (which I and many other fans do not want to see) as Manga is not strict in   
   keeping action within discreet panes.
