Which way do you prefer to read manga?

Mon Jan 10, 2005 7:58 pm

I started drawing a webcomic and I decided to go right to left because I find it easier to read comics/manga that way. What do you all think?

I like right to left, but with the sound effects in English so I don't have to go look it up x)

Right to left confuses me.

Right to left is how I'm used to reading manga (and by reading I mean looking at the pictures in the Rockman X manga in order), so that's how I read 'em.

I read Manga from R-L in Japanese, it is eaisier for me.

Right to left is much easier for me, also with English effects, although the Japanese effects look cooler. :P

As long as it's right to left, I'm fine. It doesn't matter what language :P

Right-to-left, and I prefer the sound effects in Japanese. A while ago it got to the point where I started to read English books from right-to-left....haha.

Right to left. You dont' get the full manga effect without te right to left. And japanese sound effects for me please, but on some mangas its korean instead of japanese.....so either one is fine.=D

I vote for right to left, Japanese sound effect, just because it's, it's, MANGA! :D

Right to left, I open up English books that way now. Usually I like Japanese sound effects because you can pretty much figure them out. But I've recently started liking the English sound effects. Depends what manga it is.

I just read them the traditional Right to Left way and try to navigate my eyes past all the giant sound effect texts XD

Right to left (for the sake of visuals since that's how it was drawn) but I prefer everything in English.

Call me an american smurf if you wish, but I prefer to read it left to right. I know manga is originally right to left, but I keep on forgetting that and wind up reading the part on the left first and get confused.

What if you can't read Japanese? o.0 *yells at school for not offering that course* I agree with Urthdigger, I have a tendancy to get mixed up if I try from right to left. I'm such a non-worldly person, in other words, I suck. x.x

Doesn't matter if it's right to left or left to right...English is preferable, but I don't really care that much.
