I have a Dragonball Z manga in the original Japanese which goes from right
 to left.  However, the manual for my Super Famicom Ranma Super Battle game
 goes from left to right.  Why the inconsistency?  Does it have to do with the
 fact that the manga uses vertical text and the manual uses horizontal?
