    Most manga books read from right to left, and because I have been reading manga for years something happened to me today. I forgot how to read from left to right.
    Did this happened to anyone else?
    Also feel free to move the topic if need be.

    Hahaa that happens to me too. I am indulged in manga, well, because i am aspiring to become a mangaka. So it kind of became a norm to me... As a matter of fact, whenever i read American comics, i do open it the right way, but i read the right panel first by accident. xD Webcomics are the worst, i always mistake it, and when fans make some, i question whether or not its right to left, or left to right.

    The worst is when you are on fan comic sites and some are manga style and some are western style.

    I've got enough experience with both that I'm mostly okay, but I do very often mess it up both ways.

    Yeah it's happened to me as well. Though I've been mostly reading manga on the web so it hasn't been a problem recently. Though it sometimes gets confusing when I read MegaTokyo since it's based in japan but isn't a manga.

    What really gets me is flopped manga. I always find myself starting pages on the wrong side because I'm so used to reading it the opposite way. I think all the volumes of Kingdom Hearts I manga I have a flopped, but then chain of memories and KHII are the original way round again ¬¬
