Thanks! permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] EmptySlime@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) Basically the priority is to make as many unbroken right to left lines across the whole page as possible. You don't generally move down unless you've reached the leftmost edge of the page. Notice how here if I draw lines across the panels to show the path my eyes take and read 12 before 10-11 my reading line is going to run back into the line I made already? So you read 9 and go to the next line, considering 12 to be part of that lower line so that your reading lines don't intersect. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) Ahhh thanks for this, I would have also messed up and read 9 -> 12 in this situation as well permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] EmptySlime@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago No problem! It can be very confusing when you're first getting into manga trying to figure out how you move through the panels. Once you get the hang of the ideas though most mangaka nowadays have been pretty good at laying out their panels to kind of draw your eyes naturally through the page in the order you need to go. permalink fedilink source parent
