It's bad enough for me now that I won't buy a manga unless it is in traditional R-t-L format. I buy a lot of manga there and provide recommendations to a lot of the people who buy at the comic store I frequent. It's enough influence that he won't stock the LtR manga that are flipped. Call me a purist, but it just feels weird to me now reading it any other way.

We must have tolerance for those who like to read either way.

Tolerance? Requested by Takeshi?

Seriously though, as you know NA comics are published Left to Right, Japanese manga Right to Left. When flipped, I have seen many manga become difficult to understand the action in because it doesn't fit with the flip. If I could readily read in Japanese, I wouldn't even want the translated manga ;;
You do have a point in that it should cater to many people, but as far as manga is concerned, clearly the public has spoken or the vast majority of manga would be flipped when licensed but they are not.

I assume he means North American; but of course, most western comics would be printed left to right, because that's the direction western languages read. I can read either way, though I much more enjoy reading right to left.
It's in english, Kouhei! English reads from left to right.

Well, British Graphic Novels are printed in that direction, too. As I say, the direction the graphic novel is written in is determined by the direction the language is written it.

Kamiki Takeshi Jurai: You've been reading too much manga.
I remember when I first started an unflipped book. Several times I had to force myself not to read LtR. Nowdays it just happens naturally, but it was tricky at first.
Same happen to me the character it´s really cool cute all the way, maybe it looks furry because of the hair anyway is cool

o.O
The hair is generic puff-ball hair, I draw it all the time (although her's came out better than most).
Anyway, here's installment 2. I have the third ready, but will hold onto it for a little while . . .

Loli Strip isn't likely to be praised by the NY Times. I am pleased to find that I'm able to write these things; I've always had some trouble with comedy.
A bit of miscellania : Loli spends her time online (as she's seen here), reading trashy romance stories, manga and doujins. Faye spends her time online looking at porn.
