Looking these up and after seeing someone as a Waluigi drag king at a local pride event, I think I'm seeing a throughline here

I guess an equivalent comparison is if you took a Japanese film and flipped it horizontally. Yes it would work, but it's not how it was meant to be seen.

Simply put, the illustrations were not drawn to be flipped by the original artist. Proportions will look off, sound effects are usually illustrated in vs put in after so they get flipped with the art and the "flow" of panel to panel reading can be inhibited as the layouts don't work as well reversed

It's to keep the art intact. The illustrations were really meant to be seen in their original orientation. Flipping it can make layouts, panel transitions, captions, etc even harder to parse.

I try not to be hyperbolic, but each chapter and swing in Chainsaw Man feels like a little miracle because of how expertly it's executed and the things he's allowed to get away with week after week compared to basically every other title in the lineup.
