Pixels are organized row-wise. Pixel values are 0 to 255. 0 means background (white), 255 means foreground (black).
The same goes for the testing images. So, I believe you should be inverting your values output by get_mnist(...). Actually it would be best to give the option to invert them seeing as one may need to compare their results to other research that used the wrong method. I know there are workaround(s) for this, but this is technically a bug.

This may be considered a minor quibble by most, but I do want to be accurate when using the MNIST dataset.
The documentation for chainer.datasets.get_mnist(...) implies that you do something like derive the 0 to scale values by just dividing the raw pixel value by 255. However, from the MNIST site (under "FILE FORMATS FOR THE MNIST DATABASE):
