The Other Day I decided to go into town (I live in England) to see if they had the latest kenshin volume andto my surprise they did. So I picked it up quite quickly and proceeded to pay for it. When I got home however, I looked inside read the first few pages, and then turned over to start the story and to my surprise found the words:
Bleach Volume 9!
so to conclude, basically the producers had put bleach volume 9 in the Kenshin 27 cover, it even had the kenshin notes in the back. This happened to anybody before?

I've never seen a misprint of manga, but I once was reading a Sweet Valley University book (yes, I know...SVU Anime hyper) and halfway through the book it started back at page one, so the first half of the book was there twice, and the second half wasn't there at all.

Sounds like the printers' computer screwed up big time.

I've had books like that before, not as badly as what marie-antoinette & Violence have had. Just a page or two repeating then going back to the proper pages.

Hope that you returned it and got your money back!

BTW, did you enjoy the Bleach volume anyway?

I bought a volume of the Sailor Moon manga online, and when it was delivered I noticed the tips of all the pages were stuck together. I tried to cut them apart with scissors, but I accidentally chopped right through the book. I don't buy manga online anymore.

Nothing that major's happened to me before. Only things like a page of Initial D in my ParaKiss or having half the book printed upside down (Whistle V3).

I was at ANext and bought a copy of Miracle Girl, and a fly was printed into one of the pages!

hmmm... once i borrowed a friend's copy of sailor moon #2 or 3, only to be warned the second half of the book was printed upside down; i had to turn it around near page 100 for full enjoyment.

I had an entire volume of Naruto printed upsidedown and backwards. You think reading it the right to left was tricky, that book was nearly impossible. I also had a copy of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac with part of the pages printed upside down. These are just common printing errors.

I had a volume of Case Closed / Detective Conan where one page was printed twice. The second time it appeared it went over where one of the other pages was supposed to be. The guy at the store I bought it from (Waldenbooks) ordered me another copy though and replaced it for free.
