Goldy:
Just occurred to me...
The title of the manga is Magical Love Gentleman.
Now how does that apply to yaoi?
Malek:
Hanners = Cute
Hanners + Porn = ???

--- Quote from: epitomynut on 05 Jun 2009, 04:12 ---On normal manga (and most of the abnormal manga), we would see the front cover on the left (relative to the viewer, not the reader's left) and the back cover on the right. With Magical Love Gentlemen, however, we can see that the front cover is on the right. There are four possible reasons for this.
1. Jeph made an oops. He is only human and so is entitled to make mistakes now and again.
2. The translating company flipped the artwork to suit the western audience. Or they just flipped the cover for some reason.
3. Magical Love Gentlemen is a western manga done with a japanese art style, but formated in the western way.
4. The covers are a rare printing error.
--- End quote ---
5. Jeph is trying to compensate for the sheer number of comic panels in the world where someone's reading a book, facing partly to the right, and the title is written on what should be the back cover so it can be seen in the panel. (Seriously, other cartoonists, just change the angle of the shot; it's not that hard.)

6. He wants to mess with his hopelessly picky fans.
