That goes against like a century of convention. At least in western comics.

When convention doesn't convey the proper flow of the conversation then you have to improvise. I've seen this in western comics before, though I don't have any examples on hand. The bubbles have a tail indicator to show who is speaking and a flow indicator to show the order in which the bubbles are spoken. It is a little strange in this case but it's not unheard of and it does the job it was drawn to do.
