Why is manga read from right to left? I thought humans knew instinctively to read shit from left to right. Why is manga like this?

No, real civilized humans read from right to left.

What? Writing right to left smears, left to right does not

Japan exists in the mirror world, that's why they also drive on the other side of the road.

Skill issue on your end.
For me it feels unnatural now if I'm forced to read from left to right.

to be clear, they read and wrote characters up to down, right to left for most of history
>>
>>287237702
The same reason each line of text is read from top to bottom.
>>
At one point ancient Greek used to be written alternating right to left. Arabic and Hebrew still are written right to left. Japanese can be written either horizontally left to right or vertically right to left. In the past it was sometimes also written horizontally right to left but not as much any more.
