    2. When making the template for the pages for a manga, since it's read right to left, what order should the page numbers be in instead? I know you said it's mirrored but I'm a bit confused about which way it should be mirrored, I don't really understand it :sweat would it be possible to provide a picture of the template in MS Word like the regular order has?

      If I may ask as well, what type of glue did you use to attach the page block to the cover?

    3. @ashefaust hey-hey! Sure, here you go: you just need to mirror the pages from right to left, that's all. C:

      I'd also like to point out (just in case) that manga regularly uses big splashes (mean two pages show a single scene, like here: https://bjdclub.ru/static/photos/t/800/e4/01/e40176409ea21d31eaad408b615c6234.jpeg), and there are two scenarios:
      a) if the splash comes when you put pages into the document on the right, everything is ok, just merge two neighboring cells (2 and 3, 6 and 7, 10 and 11, etc) and put the big two-page image into the big cell
      b) if the big splash comes into the document on the left you'll have to cut the splash into two equal parts and put the halves of the image in reverse order (right half first and then the left one). So when you connect two separate little sheets these pages will make a single image

      As for glue, I just use standard PVA glue, it works with paper well.

    4. Thanks for the visual and the extra tip! I hadn't even considered the splash pages so I probably would have done it wrong :sweat
