Why does traditional manga read from right to left and why does modern manga reads from left to right?
The only manga that read from left to right are "manga" originally published in a language that's read from left to right (i.e., English,) and Japanese manga that are "flipped" by a publisher for publication in a language that's read from left to right. Even "modern" Japanese manga are read from right to left.

Why is manga written backwards?
Manga is read from right to left because it is the traditional Japanese format. Some manga's are from left to right, but most arent because they are drawn that way, and the pictures might get messed up if they are flipped. Like if a sign or something said yam(sorry, first word that came to mind) it would say man if it was flipped to be read from left to right. I hope that helps! :D
Do you read manga top to bottom?
Yes; manga is read right to left, top to bottom.
What does manga look like?
Well, there are all types of manga out there but the original manga is read in right-left format like in Japan. Manga is a Japanese comic and looks much like a regular book.
What direction to read manga?
read from left to right
Is Japanese manga read from right to left?
Yes, unless the American publisher Westernises it. Japanese is usually printed in vertical columns from right to left, and since in manga the artwork is the obvious focal point, more and more manga are being left "unflopped."
