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. | ||

Angel DiaryIf you’ve read Demon Diary, which is a series by the same authors, you probably know roughly what you’re in for here: a bunch of fantasy characters hang out together, then there’s lots of politics, then they all live happily every after. Posted Saturday 19th November 2011 by Crazy Choco

Apothecarius ArgentumApothecarius Argentum has the standard medieval-fantasy setting, that’s similar to so many other comics. The series stars Argent - an apothecary - and Princess Primula - a, um, Princess. The main bread and butter of the series is the relationship between the two.

Aqua (a.k.a. Aria)If you’re a busy person, working nine-to-five or longer trying to make ends meet, but don’t want to be busy and would like a laid-back and quiet life, then this is probably a book for you.
