lol i'm sure this is bait but i'll answer anyways because its more fun for me to pretend you are that stupid

this is manga. Anime is video. manga reads from right to left because Japanese is written right to left. Manga comes from Japan, not Korea.

Haha I'm r-slurred since I wrote Korean and not Japanese there but

Japanese is written right to left

Pretty sure you're wrong here for horizontal writing. It's only vertical writing which goes right-to-left in Japanese. Horizontal writing goes left-to-right, from top to bottom, just like in English.

Is it just manga? Like if you pick up the Japanese translation of Harry Potter over there, will it read backwards like manga?

dialogue/text in manga is vertical. i think most books are too

>Like if you pick up the Japanese translation of Harry Potter over there, will it read backwards like manga?

i would assume it would be written vertical right to left as well, ye

They tend to write these vertically, and even when they don't, they've written this way forever.
