to me it rele doesn't matter, depends on the story. The author can be from any country i rele don't give a damn either way. But if the story is awesome and i got the money, then sure i'll get it.

I don't think anyone is disagreeing with that. Do you call it manga?

Manga means "comics" in Japanese, so I would define manga as comics made in Japan.

hmmm. i never heard that before.... this is what i've just found on the net...

MANGA.. In 1814 the famous Japanese artist Hokusai created a book of black & white sketches that he called manga (involuntary sketches). In recent Japanese history the word has come to describe those small illustrated books of black & white ink drawings that tell a series of stories. Graphic novel would be the closest translation for "manga" though they are not at all like novels in the Western sense, nor are they comparable to Western comic books. Manga cover a wide range of topics, from fantasy & adventure, to sports & cooking.

Hmm...I define manga as japanese comics...the literal translation is "whimsical pictures".....

Manga is manga....Comic made and published by Japanese ppl and Japanese companies...
