Naruto, Vol. 1 discussion

I finished this book and is still hesitate on whether its a good idea to read from right to left or is it better off the normal way.

Naruto's original language is Japanese, and the "normal way" in Japanese is right to left.

I like it when it's right to left 'cause it feels more special for manga. Also, I'm used to it like that when I read comic books so I have a hard time with the flipped ones. I even get confused with novels!

I CANNOT read it left to right when I'm reading manga. Somehow it just screws me up and I start reading all over the place. Then I'm just like, "WHAT DID I DO???"
So, yes, right to left all the way! :D

Right to left is normal for Japanese. But to answer your question, I prefer right to left because in order to read it left to right, they would have to flip everything, which would ruin some of what the creators had in mind when they drew it.

right to left when done originally is the best way. That's why I find it so difficult to read manhwa (which is drafted in the opposite direction.)

i never notice these things really....im used to reading both ways and writing both ways, so yeah...

I actually prefer right to left, at first it was jarring, but I got over it quickly, as long as I'm engaged, I get by just fine.

It's harder for me to read American comics now because I'm so used to right-to-left flow. Guess that's how used to right-to-left I am.

I like the way it is now

I like it the way it is now because I'm used to it that way.

i like it left to right its normal for me

right to left, thats the way manga is suppose to be so that is the way i will read it

Originally when Manga was being translated over state side the books were flipped and because of that the prices were higher(more people and more work). If I recall my first right to left book was from Tokyopop who paved the way along with others like Shonen Jump who decided to try it the way a few fans preferred and it pretty much became the standard for stuff from Japan since.

I personally enjoy reading the books how they were intended originally and also read western comics having no trouble adjusting the order of where my eyes hop to next.

I like it right to left but that's just my opinion

Is this the first book you've read in manga format? I think it should always remain right to left, as that's how it's originally published, and it gives us some culture exposure that's hard to get in a world that's increasingly paranoid and hard to reach out for.

Right, left, don't care just want to read.

I like right to left and it really bothers me when I find one when they change it because I always read it the way it was originally instead of what we did when we translated it. On computer or tablets or whatever though I don't care at all.

hello i watch the show and im on episode 230 and im finely on

the normal way is better,,

I think it should just be left how it originally was put and not changed around.So, right to left and i find it more confusing to read them when its flip flopped around because they are not supposed to be read like how we read regular novels anyways..

hi

i prefer right to left. otherwise is very confusing

The Japanese way, right to left. It's somehow easier to read for me, and I just associate manga with right to left.

right to left and i agree with the statement above.

Actually, normal for me is right to left. x) Also, some authors just don't want to change way of reading their manga and put it from left to right, and I understand them. Manga should be always read like this, it makes it somewhat special.

A book has its own special of being read and foe mangas, it has to be right to left. I find this very special, so right to left!
