Oh I get it, Americans read left to right and Japanese read right to left.
Interesting variant of this - somebody tried swapping the reels of the movie Passengers - I think they moved the first reel toward the middle, so it starts when Jennifer Lawrence wakes up. At this point Chris Pratt is concealing that it was him who woke her up, and a lot of his behavior is very sketchy and sinister because you don’t see what led up to it. Then after she finds out and hates him you see reel 1 as a flashback, and it flips the whole tone of the story. After thinking about it I really wish the director had told the story that way.
I hate how it was resolved so much.
Dude basically murdered her and in the end when given the chance to go back to her planned life she chooses to stay with him. It’s apparently okay for someone sentence you to death and deceive you into sleeping with them as long as they’re handsome.
Yes, but Manga reading order aside: isn’t this particular woman also a yokai, and a rather malevolent kidnapping one at that?

She exclusively preys on children and young adults, tapping into a primal fear of child abduction.
Me knowing exactly who that is, knowing full well that kid is most likely gonna be less safe from now on
Unrelated rant about search engines
I am going insane because I was just curious if Persian speaking countries also read comic books right-to-left too, and despite the amount of specifying, my search engine just fucking insists that I am looking for the Manga reading directions. What happened to the internet?
9 inches and 5 feet?
Feet use ’
Inches use "
You’re reading it the wrong direction.
I think you’ve misunderstood, usually you’re not meant to explain jokes but I’ll act in good faith and do it anyway.
The comic uses 9"5’ which is obviously meant to mean 9 feet and 5 inches.
But in actual notation ’ is for feet with " for inches. Meaning that what is in the comic actually reads as 9 inches and 5 feet if taken literally.
So the way it should’ve been written for it to mean what it was meant to is 9’5".
Pssh, I’m 10”5’
1"6’ here. I be smol now.
As someone educated in Japanese subculture I thought it was testing knowledge of hasshaku-sama (urban legend of 8 ft tall mistress, you may also find spicy contemporary interpretation too).
“Japanese subculture”
Could be second layer to the meme that went over my head. Seems a lot of commenters agree with you.
i thought it was about some yokai who would then haunt that boy forever or something
I think that is exactly what the dude described, if you follow the link
Yea, imagine what it’s like being a dagerido like my pimp made me walk the plank, which is euphemism for a tolerance reduction ontological overload which I am demonstrating in some redundant fashion. This provides the creature a large enough dazzle to razzle tf outta all them bitches who get them stitches. This is Peter Marker Four on dommy down six, I got sticks, and imagine if you didn’t know who I was and you came into contact with this virility in the forest before dawn at noon, six on Sunday coming at a theater near you. This week I went and gone and did and so it came back to me and we really ought to get that reduction. Time plasters the mind. Minutes to midnight, wait we’ve been hear me no I don’t mommy go home.
Right, like you’d think that’s a buncha hooey if you didn’t know who my retarded ass was. Fucking idiots. I love all of you.
Cocaine is an interesting hobby, isn’t it?
No just practicing. See,y’know how if you do something, your neurons fire, and thus you entrain them? Yea, I’m working out lateral based thinking skills through free association recollection in a free writing exercise, dummy. Nah just kidding. I’ll jib your jab OH SHIT THERE’S A BUG ON ME GET IT OFF
I’m only saying this because I care - there are many decaffeinated brands on the market today that are just as tasty as the real thing.
Bro I’m just jacking off on shoelace powder, like gramma gunna crimp my style in a piledriver inside her infertility from disability as I got pride as wide as a buffalo shit sandwich, ok? Nah, it’s cool gramps, we’ll get you caught up. You eat crab cake? We got crab cake for days, made with real artificial crab meat. This is just how I am and I choose to be it, and I do it for the youth of the nation, praise God, valahalla, and all of the men and women in law enforcement in Reno, amen.
Nope, someone is going to have to explain this to my American brain.
I didn’t get it but I do now.
Left to right the woman takes the ball from a child and places it up in a tree, and there child cries.
Right to left, the woman gets a stuck ball from a tree to relieve a crying child.
But yeah that woman is like 11ft tall, I think.
American comics read left to right.
Japanese manga read right to left
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.
Seems a little dramatic to use that ultra baked incredibles picture…
I’m so stupid. I saw this yesterday and couldn’t wrap my head around it and moved on. Your comment proves my mind has a blind spot.
Ah I didn’t realize the two on the top were meant to be read together thought it was a side by side
Thought this was supposed to be the other way around since the Japanese have Hachishaku-sama.
