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. | ||
Afterschool CharismaWhile on the surface this all looks quite cheery, some of the topics covered - such as the rights of a cloned individual, self-harm and suicide - can actually be quite shocking. Posted Sunday 30th September 2012 by Crazy Choco

Alice in the Country of HeartsNow, this is an interesting idea. Take something popular - in this case, Alice in Wonderland - then move it completely into a different genre - in this case shojo manga. It has taken a bit of skill and the willingness to completely change a few of the original characters to pull this off in a new format, but amazingly this series has turned out really well.
