The comic reading order checker numbers a rectangular page grid in left-to-right or right-to-left order. Use it to test the first panel, row flow and manga direction before drawing, then download the order as a simple review note.

See how a simple grid reads in left-to-right or right-to-left order. Use the numbered preview to spot jumps before drawing.
A reader should not need to search for the entry point.
Numbering reveals when direction changes or an eye must jump across the page.
Reverse row order without mentally renumbering every cell.
Download the order so collaborators can discuss the same panel numbers.
Enter the page's rows and columns and choose its intended reading direction.
Follow the sequence at normal viewing size and note any ambiguous transition.
Change panel size, placement or lettering when the intended next step is not obvious.
These diagrams cover simple grids and common complications. Complex pages still need a human read-through at final size.

ComicWave keeps the comic reading-order plan plan, generated panels and lettering as separate stages. You can review the structure before drawing and replace one weak result without discarding accepted work.
The visual examples on this page are original concept illustrations made for this topic. They are not customer work, benchmark results or a promise that every generated output will match them.
Same category, the next step in the workflow, and something to read.
