Manga is the Japanese word for Comic. However the word has gained a slightly deeper meaning in the West, and most people tend to think of Comic Books and Manga as separate things. No-one has ever sat down and strictly defined the word Manga. Some people take it to mean "Japanese Comic", discounting “Original English Manga” (OEM). However on this site, I treat Manga as a style, and classify comics by what they are trying to be. So I take it to mean "Japanese-style Comic" (or possibly "Manga-style Comic" if you don't mind a self-referential definition), and hence include OEM in the Manga section. I also include any Comics from other countries (e.g. Korean-style Manga) that are in a similar style. | ||
Ark AngelsIf you’ve never read anything from Korea then this series might come as a bit of a shock to you. Not only are a lot of the usual Korean cliches in place, but the author just assumes that the cliches are a given and uses them without explanation. Posted Sunday 19th February 2012 by Crazy Choco

ChobitsJapan has a bit of a reputation of being the home of various craziness, and if any country is ripe for a good bit of social commentary then it's probably Japan. Posted Wednesday 30th September 2009 by Crazy Choco

Chrono CrusadeIt's probably too soon for a series featuring pope John Paul II leading a holy order of priests and nuns to fight evil demons and save the world. But set it back in time a little bit and suddenly it's acceptable! Posted Tuesday 11th August 2009 by Crazy Choco
