Manga is sort of like a comic book.

[edit] Reading

This can be either manga or mangay.

Long ago, in a galaxy far, far, away, the word "manga" was created by the mighty overlord named Skye.

These almost sort of popular Japanese comic books which, instead of being read in the correct left to right fashion, are read right to left, and backwards (because Japanese people do that). Manga is more commonly and more politically correctly called Japanime (jap-an-im-Ay). Manga is not to be confused with a female mango.

[edit] Page Layout

Not to mention that the events in the page aren't logically followed, in that frames are read right to left, then down. Which also goes contrary to how Japanese text is, where it is traditionally written top to bottom, advancing left when one runs out of paper or sentence. Meaning that the Manga titles are breaking from Japanese tradition and westernizing a bit. This also makes the manga reader feel special by involving them in something "traditionally" Japanese. It can also be used as an ingredient to suffocate vanilla wafers.

[edit] Characters

Anime and Manga are also similar in that there are fourteen basic character types:

  • The overly butch and dominating female
  • The overly bubbly and ditsy girl who's also totally useless and is there for boobs. (This tends to be the character that lifeless manga nerds jack off to.)
  • The strong and silent male warrior
  • The strong and silent female warrior, who participates in just as many daring exploits as the male warrior, except OFF-SCREEN. in other words, yes, she is just there for boobs
  • The stupid warrior in training
  • The happy go lucky kid who seems totally weak but really has some kind of crazy superpower and effortlessly kicks ass.
  • Someone's mom (see overly butch and dominating female)
  • Sensei
  • The evil guy who all the girls like, is really powerful, and is a total gaywad
  • Some guy who yells to gain more power.
  • Annoying and stating-the-obvious explain/*gasp* character.
  • A teen trying to put these little creatures in the balls.
  • Men of which are more woman-like than women, which can be perceived as blasphemous or erotic.
  • The ghost from a television.
  • The enormous sword
  • The only black guy
  • The big, shiny eyes with pupils that retract and dilate every half-second
  • The fugly monsters
  • The large breasts that defy gravity by being held aloft by thin strips of fabric
  • the only Asian guy (you know the one who ALWAYS has his eyes closed, damn sleep walker...

They are also similar in that they "don't involve" Americans, African-Americans, Australians or the British, even though the Asian race they base the characters from have too many westernized features, like larger, less narrowed eyes, occasionally gruffer voices, and larger penises, if somewhat large, at all. and then there is the rare occasion where African-Americans show up, although in drastically small numbers.

The generic fat person never appears in manga, however. because manga excludes most forms of physical ugliness.

[edit] North Korea

There is a think tank set up by Kim Il Sung which is trying to prove that manga is a NORTH KOREAN invention. They claim Kim Il Sung created it by shooting lasers out of his penis, 5,000,000,000 years ago. North Korean mangas are often dull, because no sex, violence, imperialism, colonialism, anti-government attitudes, anti-DPRK, or Japanese nationalism are allowed. Simply boiling down to cute girls in uniform parroting empty political slogans and propaganda. But there is an occasional Zerg Rush.
