Also, if this big section had small sections at both sides instead of one, how
would you read it then? Or what if the big section was on the right side?

How do you read a manga when a big section is adjacent to several small ones?


Manga are usually published in the same style as historical texts/long novels
for Japanese and Chinese readers (I am a Chinese but ya, most of our readings
nowadays are from left to right). For that reason, the flow of the structure
is always from top to bottom, right to left. In the case where the page is
split into 2 sections by an invisible (horizontal) line in the middle, It is
always read from top to bottom of the upper section, then followed by top to
bottom of the lower section.

Of course, some manga use slanted lines to guide the reader on which boxes to
read next :)
