    I dont get it. Is this read from left to right or from right to left? Manga typically reads from right to left, but judging from her reaction neither makes sense… She is not making a “wha-” expression, which indicates that it came before, but she is already turning her head, which indicates that it it came after. WHAT.

      Yeah, the comic adds absolutely nothing to this very tired “fun fact”, it’s not a successful meme format at all imo.

        But her reaction on the last big panel is more in line with her initial surprise to what she said, not the shocked reaction after having said wha-

          I think the intended idea was that she freezes mid-sentence in shock after fully comprehending what was said. Shrunken iris, mouth half open… I personally think the reaction makes sense.
