It makes sense to me. You start in the top left like how you read and then you get a direction for the order of the conversation. I read it naturally at intended the first time through.
The connection between the bubbles guides you to the next bubble in order of dialogue. Without it it would read as if the man says everything first before the woman speaks which is incorrect.

It reads fine. It’s the connection between the bubbles that’s incorrect.

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