does it make more sense if I have the word bubbles flipped? I like the look of the bigger word bubble to be on the right side but then we would have to read this right-to-left which isn't intuitive for us English speakers. so what do you think?

I think the current left-to-right layout works better for English readers, it feels natural and easy to follow. I totally get the aesthetic appeal of flipping them, but clarity probably wins here. That said, the art and expressions carry the humor well either way!

Eh. Either or for me. I’m a native English speaker and I was able to grasp the text bubbles without any issue

Whenever I see anime style art, I automatically read any text with it right to left. Seeing it flipped like this actually throws my brain for a loop.

Either is fine, as long as it’s consistent. I’m a manga reader, but I tried to read the original left to right cause it wasn’t a manga and it didn’t have a manga background or paneling. I’m sure a lot of your fanbase is used to right-to-left, but since most everyone reads left-to-right at least most of the time, I’d recommend left-to-right.

Yeah, bigger bubbles make me read right to left.

I read left to right, instinctively, when I see English. So I like this format better.
