FRENCH Anime Question! (I don't know if it comes in english but please come and check if it is!)?

Question

Okay so today I rented this french anime called "les petites fraises (Ichigo Mashimaro)" Btw Petites Fraises means Small Strawberries. I started to read from right to left but I was wondering do I read the panels from up to down or down to up because everyone says manga is completly oposite? And has anyone read this manga? Is it good? I just started to read and it seems good...by the way here's a picture of the FIRST book (there's 3)

Answer 1

i have not read this manga, but typically you need to check if the cover is in the right place, as in if its on where the front would be for a book in english then if it is you can just read it
if its on the back, read backwards, from the upper right corner to the bottom left. if it gets confusing try and translate a little bit and figure out where you are.

Answer 2

Well, I'll admit that I'm confused by the question!
Something must have gotten lost in the translation! ;)

First, I am not clear on what you have "rented". You mentioned that you "read the panels", which sounds to me as if you are reading a comic strip. If that's the case, then I'm curious as to how you "rented" it! Did you mean "borrowed" from a library? If it's a different media, such as a CD or DVD, then you may need to select the appropriate language from the menu, if there is one.

Second, according to the link below (in French; the second link is a fair translation), there are, apparently, four French books, and five Japanese ones, not just the three you mentioned. BTW, your link does not work, but this one will: http://www.bedetheque.com/serie-14220-BD-Ichigo-Mashimaro---Les-petites-fraises.html

Third, you're the only one who can tell what the "right" way to read it! If it's in French, then left-to-right should work, but since you said "right-to-left", I presume that you are Japanese, or that the book is laid-out in a peculiar way, or you got your "directions" backward! The above link shows a French page which, when clicked (disable your "pop-up stopper") appears to be in standard comic format; in other words, read it from left-to-right, then down. If you're still confused, ask your parents for help; I'm sure they'd love to read it with you!

And, finally, you're the only one who can decide if it's "good" or not!

Bon chance, mon petite choux! ;)
(translation: "Good luck, my little cabbage" - - it's a French idiom, similar to "sweetheart" in most Anglic languages)
