(And I'm gonna bet over 90% of the people who vote in this poll will never understand the actual reason for this...and will instead vote for "right to left" because it's "pure")

Okay, so maybe that was exactly my reaction >_<;
HOWEVER, now that I truly thought about it, I would still prefer "right to left" since it's more fun to read that way.

As far as I'm concerned, I prefer right-to-left because holding a book to read in the bathroom is a lot easier that way.

I'd prefer it if all manga, manhua, and manhwa were right to left, personally. Sunday and political cartoons can stay left to right.

I find it easier to read books right to left (turning the pages), but comic strips I find easier to read left to right? - so I guess right to left =)

If 90% of people misunderstand a poll, I would think that suggests something is wrong with the way the question was worded, rather than with the people reading.

There are left to right comics!?!?!

Also I can't honestly answer this.

I prefer my comics right to left
and my manga left to right

that isn't an option so I guess I can't vote.

Right to left. I've never read American comics, so I can't even read left to right in that area.

There is a problem with reading direction ?
I have no problem with reading in both way and seriously i haven't about the reading direction as a problem. I just prefer the way of the author, that's all. If the question was about manga only (not manwha or anything else), i would have said right to left, but adding comics make the choice impossible, who would like to read comics right to left ?

i strongly prefer left to right mainly because i can't get over how you start from the back in manga books.... stupid reason but i like fliping pages the way it is suppose to be done 😉

The only right answer is "in the original format." You're a moron if you would even think to scan and invert western comics so your moronic wapanese ass could read them right to left, and only different types of morons would expect English translators to either deface or demand the original author completely reconstruct entire pages to appease their preference (blade of the immortal).

But if a real option for this poll had been given, the poller wouldn't be able to feel really good about himself.

Huh? I thought Japanese manga is also often called "コミック" (English loan word "comics")? Surprising that people think it's different. 😛
