... that The Magic of Chocolate's volumes are ordered alphabetically rather than numerically? Source: Natalie (link): "「ショコラの魔法」の単行本には毎巻、巻数ではなく「almond kiss」「bitter sweet」といったアルファベット順の副題が冠される。[Each volume of The Magic of Chocolate is given an alphabetical subtitle such as Almond Kiss and Bitter Sweet instead of being numbered.]"

Alphabetical[edit]

Shouldn't the volume list be labeled A, B, C... instead of 1, 2, 3... ? --Guy Macon (talk) 04:21, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The titles are already in alphabetical order. lullabying (talk) 05:26, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- But they are numbered. Right there, in the column with "No." at the top. We are numbering a series that is not numbered, and today's' main page says "Did you know that The Magic of Chocolate's volumes are ordered alphabetically rather than numerically?" --Guy Macon (talk)
  - The numbers are corresponding to which order they were released in and have no bearing on the titles of the volume, which were intentionally named alphabetically instead of The Magic of Chocolate vol. 1 and so forth. lullabying (talk) 06:15, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - I give up. I do not believe that you will ever understand the difference between a series ordered A, B, C... and a series ordered 1, 2, 3... I am unwatching this page now as a waste of effort. --Guy Macon (talk) 13:40, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
