what is manga

Manga is the Japanese word for comics. It is used in the English-speaking world as a generic term for all comic books andgraphic novels that were originally published in Japan. Manga is often considered an artistic and storytelling style that can also encompass non-Japanese works, however. The term "AmeriManga" is sometimes used to refer to comics created by American artists in a manga style. Manwha is the Korean equivalent of that idea.
