I have 12 out of 23 volumes of [_Majin Tantei Nogami
Neuro_](https://myanimelist.net/manga/674/Majin_Tantei_Nougami_Neuro). It's
really weird since the first tenth volume of this manga's cover is upside down
like you could see in this [site](https://comicvine.gamespot.com/majin-tantei-
nogami-neuro/4050-44334/).

What's the reason behind it?

What's the reason some of the Detective Neuro's manga cover's page are upside down?


**There's no particular reason other than "because the mangaka wanted it that
way".**

It's just one of the many _omake_ /additional fun things about the tankobon
(according to [Japanese
Wikipedia](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%AD%94%E4%BA%BA%E6%8E%A2%E5%81%B5%E8%84%B3%E5%99%9B%E3%83%8D%E3%82%A6%E3%83%AD#%E5%8D%98%E8%A1%8C%E6%9C%AC%E6%81%92%E4%BE%8B%E3%81%AE%E3%81%8A%E3%81%BE%E3%81%91)):

  * The characters on the cover page are upside-down on vol. 1-10, as-is on vol. 11-20, and left-turned on vol. 21-22(23)

Some other trivia:

  * The name of the criminal of that volume

> is hidden in the background of wall-of-text in the table of contents (except
> vol. 15, 16, and 23), e.g. [vol. 11's criminal
> name](https://i.stack.imgur.com/f69tp.png). ([Source](http://nyuge3.cocolog-
> nifty.com/nyuge/2007/05/post.html))

  * The illustration on the middle cover of vol. 10-19

> uses "Hanging Yako" representing "1", e.g. [vol.
> 18](https://i.stack.imgur.com/i5hJ1.jpg).

  * The cover pages for vol. 13-20
