Changes

Some manga translations, especially early ones from the 1980s and 1990s, were "flopped", meaning that the artwork was reversed, in order to read from left to right like a conventional English-language comic.  However, this can cause continuity problems.  For example, a right-handed character appears left-handed in a flopped manga.  In recent years, as American interest in manga and anime has grown, it has become more conventional to present manga in the original right-to-left format.
