More precisely, there is no specific panel size (or shape) in manga; the page layout is part of the creative design. On the other hand, there are default sizes and shapes of panels in American comics, though variations do exist (partly because of the increasing influence of manga on American comics). I think it's more a matter of tradition and style than cost constraints.
