    Manga is the Japanese word for comics. There are many different styles and inspirations by a myriad of artists.

    It’s like saying all cartoons are the same as Disney, or all comics are basically Superman.

      Yes, “manga” is the Japanese word for comics, but in terms of the overall, world genre of comics? It specifically refers to comics within a certain style, ~99% of it being Japanese-made.

      It’s like saying all cartoons are the same as Disney, or all comics are basically Superman.

      Yes, those are some nonsensical falsisms. Thanks for randomly stating them?
