No, reading in all capital letters is easy for us.

It depends, if the whole book was written in capitals I wouldn't enjoy reading it, but if it's just a short part there isn't any difficulty.

There aren't any capital or small letters in Japanese right? So I would assume reading manga would be the same
- English (US)
Sometimes all capital letters can come across like shouting or yelling, so seeing too many of them in a book can be irritating, but I don't think that they are difficult to actually read or understand.

In comic books the characters are all capital because the artist needs to make sure all the characters fit into the speech bubbles. If they had normal writing, it would be hard to determine how much space you need before you put in the text. Outside for comics though, all capitals can seem like you're shouting. I had a teacher who wrote in all capitals too, so it is not uncommon. So, in short, natives can read in all capitals just fine. We can understand the words.
