Hi,
I recently discovered Ghost in the Shell and have enjoyed watching both the movies and the show.
Anyhow, I am trying to find an English translation of the first GITS Manga that retains the original right to left style used in Japan. Although amazon.com lists a few versions of the magna none of the listings tell me what the books orientation is. All I do know is that the later versions included previously censored "explicit" material. So my question is:
Is there an official English translation that reads right to left instead of left to right?
-LostInTime
Traditional right to left version of the first Manga?
