Panel composition without the page context is a literal composition sin, you cannot judge a panel in isolation. I tend to prefer manga precisely because the flow don't feel as jaringly jerky as in western comics, where each panel is in competition due to being little gutted masterpieces all by themselves. The extreme are manga like captain tsubasa where the concept of time literally melt in a single page, where concept like duration, instant or continuity are not applicable to any single element of the composition or the composition itself, as they not only perfectly embody the original idea behind cubism, as in an object representation through all angles simultaneously, but tuat also spread in time conceptually, but only in the time and angles that serves the exact expression. Shojo excelled at this too.
