I'm Asian, so all reading is right to left. I can still read left to right just fine, but i get confused when some scanlators do left to right without warning.

Well ever since I was a little kid I would flip through books right to left. So I guess either or is fine but it is just more natural to read manga cuz of that.

but the chinese/japanese use this method because in the old times they used pergamis or scrolls which opened up sideways and if they wrote from left to right they would have to fully open the scroll to read if it were a brand new scroll, so they used writting right to left cus that's the first piece you see whe you open up a scroll and aslo if they wrote sideways you would have to fully open up the scroll that's why they writte up to downDamn that's interesting, never knew that. Very intriguing story, brother. I thank you.
I find that a little dubious. Isn't it an instinct just for us, who are used to solely read from left to right, top to bottom?
Sorry? not getting what you're trying to say. Are you implying that if what I said was true we should read uh, left to top? Meh either way, I can't validate what the tutor (too lazy to google, just woke up) said but it seems noteworthy.
As for me personally reading doujins right to left seems normal but if I saw it anywhere else I'd probably not enjoy it.

I prefer left to right, simply because that's the culture I live in, but I have no problems reading in the other direction. Except when it's Im Dal Young's stuff who has stuff published in Korean and Japanese magazines so I have to make an effort to "orient" myself.

With all the manga and doujins I've read, I seem to read every comic from right to left, even the ones you're supposed to read from left to right =.='

I read it however it originally is.
I'm not fucking crazy about the right-to-left format, but if I'm reading manga, it better goddamned be right-to-left, because that's the way it was made. (Unless, somehow, it was made left-to-right.) I've seen flipped series, and problems eventually pop up. It's just easier to leave it in the original format.
If I'm reading an American comic, or a Korean one (I believe those are left-to-right), I'll read it left-to-right, with no problems. I'm not addicted to one style over the other; I just don't want things to be fucked up simply because people want to Americanize things.

I don't really care either way, but I just find it funny that my friend who's a straight A student can't seem to figure out how to read manga. XD

It doesn't matter to me, just gets kinda disorienting when going from one to the other.

Right to left because off all the manga. Sometimes i will accidentally start reading right to left even if your not supposed to if i have read a lot of manga lately, but i have no problem reading left to right.

I prefer Right to Left because of Manga/Doujinshi, but some of the mangas I read are comic format so I have to switch up

I prefer Right to Left but you can do much if its a manhwa.
Edit:Even though the in my country we read from left to right.

I prefer Right to left. Being a lefty i picked it up really easy. Reading upside down is not problem either. When I was small I used to write right to left so all my sentences were backwards when read left to right >.<

I'm tuned to reading from right-to-left, which can be a real pain when I'm reading a comic that is read left-to-right.
Practically every page I start reading on the right, I'll notice my mistake, and then repeat it on the next page.
