   Kimonos on the right

   I recall finding out that Vampire Princess Miyu wears her kimono on the right   
   because wearing a kimono that way signifies death.   
      
   Only, every picture of Miyu I can dig up on the net shows the kimono the same   
   way as everyone else's.   
      
   I've watched out for this in other places.  I haven't seen any kimonos on the   
   right in Bleach, or on Botan in YYH, where one might expect it.   
      
   Was I imagining it?  Is there any case where Miyu (or another character   
   associated with death) wears a kimono with the right side on top of the left?   
   Or was this a rumor based only on bad translated manga flipping?
