  Well, you’re right. Now I’m wondering if cultures that write differently imagine the beginning and end differently, and if this is connected at all

    Hmmm someone has never read a manga. The beginning is on the right and the end on the left.

    Absolutely. If you learn about visual hierarchy in design, one of the first things that you learn is that those who have language that read from left to right will instinctively look at the top left, across, and top to bottom, in kind of an “F” pattern.
