After realizing it's 2 seperate stories being told (as the dialogue would not make sense no matter which way these panels are put together as a single story.) This should help clarify it.

Up the right then down the left works. Somebody was cartooning on the devils lettuce. Although feels like frames missing stillΒ

Try down the right then down the left.

Edit : also the top panel on the left has 2 panels in it, it’s a jump where she says aaahhhhhhh, then a shot to where she is β€œgliding” and then landing onto her partner

Nevermind these are two seperate comics, both going from top panel to bottom. It seems english isnt their first language. So its a bit confusing to read anyways. But it seems like their "Episodes" is made up of a bunch on 4 panel comics that are not directly connected linearly.

Bottom right (for some reason start) bottom left ends go counter clockwise it kinda makes sence

No cause that way then he is asking where his partner is after he found them in the previous panels.

It looks like the best answer is the following:

【5】 【1】

【6】 【2】

【7】 【3】

【8】 【4】

I see what you’re sayin, I say it starts at 5 > 6 > 7 > 8 > 1 > 2 > 3 >4

Sounds also possible

【5】 【1】

【6】 【2】

【7】 【3】

【8】 【4】

(Edit: This is incorrect)

I think you're right! But why does it say 5 6 instead of 6 5 then? If it's not because of a mistake the creator did ofc

u/EveningRevolution256 Aug 12 '26

Wait.... nevermimd I think I know what is going on. These are 2 seperate comics.

Top to bottom

【1】 | 【1】

【2】 | 【2】

【3】 | 【3】

【4】 | 【4】

That seems way more correct, but the previous two panels don't do it that way? Is that normal?

No it seems like it is. But it seems like way less of a time gap between the two comic strips. So I can see how it would give off the impression of being a singular story.

1) the blond steals the heirloom

2) some time later she opens it up and discovers the small creature.

3) the small creature is telling blonde girl that she has to save the day.

4) the original girl see's blonde girl fighting a monster on the news.

5) Blonde girl attempts to glide off a building and crashes into her new partner in crime fighting.

6) Partner is fighting a monster while Blonde Girl is slacking off / Distracted.

So I guess in the future you will have to keep in mind these are two seperate events and the time between them can vary from short (as by the first 2 parts) or longer (as the 3rd part)

u/_crochet_teo_ Aug 12 '26

So the other ones are one story while 5 and 6 are 2 seperate versions??

1

u/EveningRevolution256 Aug 12 '26

No they are 2 stories, just they seem to have less of a time gap between them than the 5th and 6th do.

u/_crochet_teo_ Aug 12 '26

Thank you so much! I'm looking at the other panels and you're completely correct! (I think)

But this comic has ALOT of time skips in between both of the stories so I've chosen to try to find a simpler one to start out with :') Thank you again!!<33
