Manga is from right to left, instead of left to right and from top to bottom.

I've already read the manga. If you read the rest of the manga, you'll realize that was just a *preamble* and it then goes on to explain *exactly* what they did to deserve it. (See: Library scene)
  
And again, shortly after the mustard gas scene, while he's recovering, you see him talk about and name the jew. And yet again during the gathering in the hall.
  
The manga isn't perfect and it's not a direct mirror of the actual Mein Kampf, but it's pretty good for what it is. (I don't blame the Japanese for not having a perfect understanding of Mein Kampf since they're not White.) I personally found the scenes with Hitler and the National Socialists to be moving, inspiring and powerful.
  
And then there's this to consider:

It got the jews to kvetch about it.

Maybe it's the translation or limitations of the format, but when I take a step back and look at it without considering anything I know from outside the comic, it kinda seems like the author built a strawman in the naming scenes. Sure, it was a nice surprise to see the general strike and naval mutiny mentioned, but there should have been a panel showing the names and noses behind them so the reader can confirm it really is every single time. Unless the target audience is readers who already know?

In any case, the preamble should have shown ordinary Germans suffering under (((weimar))), not crying jews sad about NSDAP. That sets the tone for the whole work. And the author forgot to mention the 1918 German communist revolution in the part showing the stab in the back that killed the 2nd reich.

I agree with you on most of that, but in fairness this is a (sadly semi-cucked) fan translation and unfortunately, it's currently the only English translation out there. As far as I can tell, there's no official English version. (That I know of.) Otherwise, I would've linked a superior and correct fan translation. (Which is why I mentioned it would be great if one of ours could re-translate the official Japanese version.)
 
In any case, I thought ConPro would like it, since we already know the truth.

Yeah, everything after the prologue was pretty great from an already jqpilled perspective. It's just when I considered how I'd have seen it back when I still believed what all my teachers told me that I suspected the author might not be so based.

For example, I remember back in school being taught the stab in the back was a myth. And I believed that up until some kind anon guided me through an early life check of the leaders of the 1918 revolution. That part of the manga would have so much more impact if it at least had a footnote listing specific jews and what they did.

Very fair point and I agree. On top of that, I also wish it was much longer and more detailed.
 
The scene where the dog saved his life from the explosion made me believe that's what started his lifelong bond with animals and is why he treated them well and saved them by passing laws such as disallowing the practice of vivisection on them, among other things. (Since the jews were doing God knows what kind of sick experimentation on them...)

God bless him. The early life trick is one of the greatest we've ever learned. Incidentally, thanks to u/SFAM1A, I recently learned the "early life check" equivalent for Freemasons: "The Hidden Hand" gesture. (There's other gestures they do as well, but that is the most notable one.)
