After the previous news post regarding the Zelda manga, I did some digging (which proved difficult as the official Viz website is very slow and buggy right now). Eventually, I came across the Viz Kids official website (strangely enough by squinting at an image in a blog post), and details on the site confirmed a few things for us.
 
First, the “bad” news. The Zelda manga is definitely part of the Viz Kids series. The good news? Despite this, the manga is unflipped, in the original right-to-left format. So unless owning a book with the word “kids” on the spine is too much of an embarrassement for you, you may now take your panic hat off and continue to look forward to your Ocarina of Time manga this October.

Zelda Manga - Official Information

Why was flipping it such a big deal? lol weeaboos

It’s not a HUGE deal, but at the same time it might make the hardcore fans angry. I, personally, don’t care!

I wouldn’t have been terribly traumatized if it was flipped. I still would have bought it, but it does make me a little happier that they’re keeping it in the original format. And I have to say, I like how they did the logo for the manga.

Thanks Espy. My panic hat is now officially off. Now please stop making fun of me.

Well that’s a relief. Not a major deal, but I just want to read it how it was made in the first place.

Dang.

well, that certainly satisfies me. it was the double whammy that enraged me previously.

because japan is superior amirite ^^

Ugh.

I don’t care whether it’s flipped or not, what difference does it make to the story or drawings. Hell, I read from left-to-right: that would be better!

RIGHT TO LEFT IS SUPERIOR. ZELDA IS SUPERIOR.

COULD YOU NOT SEE THE INEVITABLY SUPERIOR OUTCOME?

Manga is for Japs. Read American comics or get girlfriends/boyfriends.

I don’t know, bro. I really like the One Piece manga. Not the anime, that’s bullshit. I’m pretty sure Auston’s into One Piece, too.

Have you ever heard the Japanese go “OH MAN DID YOU READ THE NEWEST SPIDER-MAN SHIT WAS OFF THE HOOK?” No. Not ever. Not in the slightest. That’s because they stick to their comics. We should do the same and stop trying to be wapanese.

There are some cool japanese stuff bro. You should look into them.

Even though I agree, being a weeaboo is the worst you can do

What’s a weeaboo?

I term used for people whom are noobs in the world of Japanese stuff. Like all the “KAWAII DESU!!” people who think talking in Japanese is awesome and makes you leet.

Or something like that.

does it mean they’re obsessed with manga and anime and stuff?

Another word for wapanese.

If you’re obsessed with it and know little about it, you can be.

Snake Face, do you talk to many Japanese people? You’re making it sound like you do. A lot of manga artists often cite Amnerican comic books as inspiration.

To an extent, I sometimes agree…. (Snack Face)

It seems as though anime and manga became really popular in the 21st century. Around 2002/2003. >_>

Snake Face is an idiot, please ignore.

This mught be a veeeeeeeeeeeeery stupid question but I want to ask it…. Is the manga (the one you were talking about before Snake Face and shit came here) English?
Or is it still Japanese..?
(A)(A)(A)

Sorry ^^. I already know! I wasn’t looking very well o.O
