whilst i appreciate right to left reading is a standard thing in manga, it really doesnt translate well into english, since the words themselves are read left to right. it feels like having to drive a righthand drive car on a road where you drive on the right (youre still driving the way youre used to, but in a car thats the wrong way around)
[wow what a crap analogy]

I know that. But it isn't that hard anyway
It's a problem that appeared when first manga books were translated into english or another languages. I know that some of manga publishers in the US are "reversing" the layout to left->right without any losses. But in Poland, where I live is one manga publishing company and it's using japanese right-> left layout. And I'm just acclimated to this
