Just leaving a comment: This line "The history of manga is said to originate from scrolls dating back to the 12th century, and it is believed they represent the basis for the right-to-left reading style" is just awful. It really needs careful consideration.

1) Is said by whom? Are you referring to Choju Giga?  If so, why not say so?  I'd rather you didn't though, as this is an incredibly loose use of "manga" as meaning any comic image.... If you say "manga in the sense of comic image" though, you could get away with it.

2) The "basis of the right-to-left reading style" comment is just horrendously bad!! I mean laughably, ridicule-worthy awful!  Have you never heard of China??  Right-to-left is the norm for reading Chinese texts, transferred to Japan, and of course this norm converts to reading images.  Moreover, there are scrolls WAY before the 12th century that are visual and read right to left, such as the 9th c Karma Scroll.

3) Be creative.
