I'm formatting American Kitsune for e-book and paperback now, and I'm wondering how I should format this.

I don't actually think I can format this as a manga, meaning making the series read from right to left, so I might need to publish this as a regular comic.

My biggest worry is that manga readers will be confused when they first begin reading. We're so used to manga being read from left to right now that this sudden change might be hard for them to deal with.

Another big issue is distribution. I don't think my publisher does plastic wrap, but American Kitsune is meant for mature audiences. I want to get it into bookstores, but I feel like I need to have that plastic wrapping so children avoid reading it. I might need to speak with my publisher about that.

Anyway, this "manga" will be read from right to left most likely.

I think it’ll work out. It’d be like reading an old fashioned comic

You can just put a short blurb at the top of the page "Read it like a webcomic!". Even if they've never picked up a floppy, they almost certainly have seen webcomics. Most of those are left-to-right.
