Not to the Chinese! Traditional Chinese books (and therefore, Japanese) are written to be read top to bottom right to left. Books in the English and the Romance languages are read left to right and top to bottom.

Are Chinese books read backwards?

Traditionally, Chinese was written vertically in columns from top to bottom, right to left. Today, however, the Western layout has been more frequently adopted and it is written horizontally in rows from left to right, top to bottom. Whereas they previously did not use punctuation marks, these also are now more frequently seen today.
