I went back to read some of my older manga and here's one I found that's about baseball. The protagonist team scored 1 run and stranded 3 on bases. At the bottom of the ninth, they started batting at the 1st batter. I didn't think much about it at the time, but this is actually completely impossible as the 1 run + 3 stranded base means you've to start bottom of the 9th with the second batter, not the first, and it's important because there's supposed to be the tension of whether the protagonist, who predictably bats at 4th, will even get a chance to bat.

I remember a screenshot from a Hong Kong manga, they were fighting over some kind of obtainium material, so in the week 1 it says this material has the power of a million nuclear bombs. In the next week, while still fighting over the same stuff, it now suddenly has the power of a BILLION nuclear bombs. Of course we also have stuff like WoW, where the Eredar somehow turned out to be the good guys who were corrupted by Sageras, even though it's actually the other way around in Warcraft 2. Another really funny one is that there was a fodder guy called The Fire King who got instant killed in a frame somewhere in one of the more well-known mangas. He died so fast that the author forgot he died so the same guy was out fighting someone else 10 weeks later (and dying again).

Sometimes I wonder if people who write these story even remember what they said earlier. Yeah some of this stuff happened a long time ago I'm sure, but it seems like you ought to at least know who are the good guys and who are the bad guys. Or for that matter know how many outs are in a game of baseball.

Did you read Attack on Titan by any chance?

I heard about it but the art style isn't something I like.
