instructions for reading manga feat. "aishiteruze baby"

When reading manga be aware that the order things are read may be backwards. For example in this excerpt from "Aishiteruze Baby: Chapter 1" you start from the box in the top right corner followed by the one under it and then to the space to the left. And then... down to the bottom right corner, then the box to the left etc.

Just remember the front cover is considered the back cover (quite obvious if you have ever seen manga in its original form). Its insides are read from right to left, and top to bottom. The images can be arranged in numerous ways so that I still confuse myself sometimes (but only on the odd occasion, I'm much more experienced now).

Feel free to explain "how to read manga" in your own words.
