What software can make Japanese-style right-to-left book pages?

Hello, I understand this may not be directly related to learning Japanese, but I am currently learning Japanese and make manga books in Japanese while also trying to create a book in a Japanese-style format with right-to-left page order.

I have been struggling to find software that can properly create pages that read from right to left like real Japanese books. I also want the page layout to work correctly for Japanese-style formatting. Because I am making a two book about Japanese & American map in JSL, and also a Japanese and American culture book in Japanese. However, My project, SignDict: Culture, is also manga-style. Because of this, I need to learn how to create proper Japanese right-to-left page layouts in software.

I already tried Apple Pages and Microsoft Word, but...

>they only support right-to-left text, not the actual page layout order. The pages still work like Western-style books, which is not what I want.

I want to create real Japanese-style pages on the books, so this has made my research much more difficult.

Does anyone know software that can create Japanese-style right-to-left books/pages properly?
