Japanese comic books and print cartoons. A high proportion of Anime are adapted from these, so many of the Japanese Visual Arts Tropes got their start here. Sometimes, an existing anime series gets a manga adaptation; see Anime First for examples. You generally read them right to left, unless the manga was flipped during its English printing, which rarely happens these days, or the Mangaka decided to write it left-to-right for some reason, which happens even more rarely.
Manga that is produced is often credited to the mangaka but the reality is that all manga is almost produced by the mangaka and his/her assistants, several ghost writers, and editors[1]. Even the "God of Manga", Osamu Tezuka, himself used over a dozen assistants. The toxic work culture and the need to produce 25+ manga chapter weekly, makes the use of assistants necessary. The assistants themselves are often not credited by the manga publishers themselves but mangaka do give credit on once in a while. What assistants actually do is pretty vague. They a lot of the work like inking, backgrounds, writing dialog, lettering, writing the plot or even get ramen for the team. Constast that with, American comic books, the publisher will give credit to the people involved in creating the comic book. Things like, editor, writer, pencils, inker, letterer, and colorist all get credit in some form.
Korean-made comic books (called Manhwa), however, are generally read from left to right. Some manga scanlation sites have started showcasing a few manhwa, leading to some confusion in reading order when readers assume them to be Japanese manga. Chinese comic books are known as Manhua, and read from right-to-left like manga; they also tend to be in color, like mainstream American comics.
