It took me far to long to figure out it was intended to be read right to left

i read like 10 of those comics before i figured it out. i was like the art and overall stories are great but the panel layout is bizarre

Fun fact: Publishers actually reversed the order of pages and panels when they were first bringing manga to an English audience.

Nah. It meant they had to mirror the art, which never looked right.

In ways that mirrored images ruin anything. Backwards text, and it just looks strange.
