There are many books in Japanese that talk about idioms and slang in English. Like Japanese English is constantly changing when it comes to idioms and slang. Maybe you should look at Urban Dictionary.

Are you saying "manga" meaning comics from Japan, or "manga" meaning all comics.

But as i told you i could not believe it has nice translate.

Why would you think a nice translation of Japanese cannot be made into English. This is what I do for a living, but I would not likely translate ね into "you know" as it would appear every other line. I think that is actually lazy translation, as ね isn't used the same way as "you know" in English, but it is easy to get lazy and do it that way. "You know" grates on the ears if said too much in English where ね doesn't have that problem. I actually don't hear people say "you know" as much as I did 10 or 20 years ago.
