There is a complicated system of characters known as hiragana, katakana, and kanji. The three are used in combination with each other. In the hiragana and katakana alphabets, each character stands for a specific syllable such as "chi," "sa," or "e." The same goes for katakana, only katakana is generally used to write out adopted words such as "kompyuutaa." (computer). Kanji is the most complicated. Each kanji has a difirent meaning, often unique to the word, such as "ai," or "sushi." To read a Japanese newspaper or manga, you need to know at least 3000 kanji, as well as both the hiragana and katakana alphabets. Hope that helped. The lines are written left to right as well as top to bottom.
