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. | ||
Demon DiaryMost of the main characters in this story are very silly. Their goofy and provocative actions are constantly flying in the face of the dangerous and serious setting, and yet they always get away with it. Posted Wednesday 2nd December 2009 by Crazy Choco

EvEve features things from a long list of sci-fi standards, such as: Artifacts and machines left from a long-dead alien race; warp-gates that teleport ships long distances across the universe; a large parliament made up of embassies from different systems; and an ancient evil trying to destroy the universe.

Faeries' LandingFaeries' Landing strikes me as some kind of a weird experiment, or possibly an author just wanted to try out a few different genres in the same series. Oh My Goddess! is a strong influence though. Posted Saturday 10th October 2009 by Crazy Choco

Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious PlayIt’s a traditional tale of a school girl transported to a historical fantasy setting. You may be thinking InuYasha and you wouldn’t be too far off the mark, except that InuYasha is more aimed at male readers, where this is slightly more for female readers.
