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.
