quote: Unlike the traditional swastika, the Nazi swastika is almost invariably depicted at 45� to the horizontal. Two versions of the Nazi swastika commonly occur, one with outer bars pointed counter-clockwise, and the mirror image with outer bars pointed clockwise. Although the Nazis do not appear to have made a symbological distinction between the two, the latter is more common in their usage.
quote:Originally posted by TSN: If that's true, then I would think that some, if not all, Japanese comics would be left-right, and therefore inverting them would be unnecessary.
You would think wrong.
And actually, as a useless aside, VIZ are not starting to not flip certain Japanese manga when translating them, notably Dragonball. Partly because lots of manga artists think that the flipping process exposes flaws in the original image, and partly because they have to redraw any writing that appears.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
