American Manga: Wired's downloadable mini-comic explains the history of the form

I'm confused by the reading order you suggest in the article. The comic should be read by going to the last page, reading from top right to bottom left, going back ONE page and then repeating until done.

If you're skipping back two pages when you read the story then in western reading style it'd be the equivalent of turning a page, reading the right page and then the left page - i.e. it'd make no sense. If you're reading Japanese style, then it's fully - both in layout and in page ordering.
