i wonder if there will ever be an article that i can just link to that explains that while its "backwards" compared to modern Japanese... that is the correct direction for pre-wwii japanese... in which this series seems to to be set (granted even the creators are not consistent)
That's pointless anyway. The only reason people write "backwards" is to indicate those who can't read moon runes are looking at reverse reading kana. I mean many at least can read katakana and hiragana, so it's proper to indicate they aren't looking at a new unknown word.
