How To Read Manga?

[Milos]

I just downloaded hellsing manga volume 1, and I read text baloons from left to right like anything else(first baloons to the left then those on the right side), but it not looks good then I started reading first right baloons then left ones and it was much better.

So someone tell me wich one is correct.

You read them from right to left.

Well I'd guess that in Manga they just translated the text inside the speech bubbles but they didn't rearrange the boxes. Chinese people read book right to left (they also start at what we think of as the back) so if I were you I'd read right ot left.

Thanks :)

Ok, but in my country it is not licenced.

It really depends on the print, but in the DB manga, when you open it the wrong way, it says this:

<some yada 'bout having the book the wrong way around>

Unless those books are released as freeware on the internet, providing a link for those is as bad as providing a link for warez Milos.

Now I have no clue because I don't read such foreign language, but would advise that you remove the link if the idea was simply to "share the wealth"...

Copyright notice at the bottom of the English version of the page:

Copy & author rights - what's mine is mine, and I don't claim any credit for other works.

's Up to you to pull your conclusions on it.

What foreign language it's in english, not japanese version.

When I clicked on the link it gave me a very garbled language, and I assumed it was an Asian language because I don't even have the right font installed on my system. Thus could not understand a single word of it or even less know if there was an english version...

All traditional Japanese manga reads from right to left, the reverse of English, which reads from left to right. In original manga-style books, the action, the word bubbles, and sound effects are all written in this direction
