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

As a Japanese person, Iâd say this is pretty conventional. But manga panel orders can be pretty chaotic, just like our writing.

Do you mean from the panel where sheâs putting the mits on to the part where sheâs 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 donât agree. Japanese writing is chaotic, so this manga is pretty conventional. Hereâs 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 â top to bottom, left to right. Youâd 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 paragraphâs height is cut in half. Then we start the yellow paragraph and youâd think the article is done when it reaches the left edge of the green paragraph, but nope, thereâs one more paragraph starting from the blue arrow.
