American comics read left to right.

Japanese manga read right to left

Jesus. Thank you, I was straight confused. Also drunk, but straight confused.

To be fair it doesn’t look like it was a comic so my brain didn’t go there either.

Ah I didn’t realize the two on the top were meant to be read together thought it was a side by side

I was about to comment how the bottom pictures are supposed to be the other way around but when I thought about it, it's correct in the manga spirit.
