VIZ publishes these particular formats according to the wishes of the creators and original Japanese publishers, and to continue to innovate on the behalf of English-reading fans. In 1998, VIZ experimented by publishing Neon Genesis Evangelion in a second format, reading right-to-left. This gave readers a chance to experience the story in its original Japanese format and has proceeded to be a great success. Now, VIZ publishes the world’s most popular manga, Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, exclusively in the right-to-left format, both of which have become VIZ’s best-selling comics ever.
