They’re putting them on. It’s right to left with Japanese manga.

Is it also down-to-up? Because it doesn’t make sense otherwise.

Do you mean from the panel where she’s putting the mits on to the part where she’s showing them? Then, yeah, since we also write top to bottom in a vertical line, we can also go from bottom to top when going to the next line.
Another commenter says the mangaka screwed up, but I don’t agree. Japanese writing is chaotic, so this manga is pretty conventional. Here’s what we have to deal with when it comes to reading the news paper.
The text within the fuchsia line is one article. You start reading from the green line — top to bottom, left to right. You’d think it would keep going that way until the left edge of the paper, but for some reason, they decided to put a second article, so the green paragraph’s height is cut in half. Then we start the yellow paragraph and you’d think the article is done when it reaches the left edge of the green paragraph, but nope, there’s one more paragraph starting from the blue arrow.

As a person who reads manga frequently, the person who made this, screw things up

I think it’s the arm covers. Reminder to read top right to bottom left, so the final shot is the dude’s eyes

Thanks! Reading it that way it makes total sense now.
