i make this post because i have seen so many didnt know this term and carelessly used the word of manga on this app. even translator shamelessly used manga term too. at this point i think mangatoon just using mtl as for the translation and polished them into decent english.
i dont mind if everyone want to used the word of manga, but it wont get you killed if you try to learn of these terms.
manga
manga is term of comic from japan. mostly their illustration are black and white. their artwork really detailed depend on artist ability. manga are the most common works can be found on internet.
manhua
obviously this term is means for china comic. their artworks are mostly colourful. but not very detailed unlike manga. you can easily know this manhua is famous with cultivation sort of story.
manhwa
basically korean comic. probably the most satisfied to read compared the other two. because manhwa has detailed and colourful artworks. most of manhwa story has similar with manhua.
but in the end of the day, its all about preference. these all different work have theirs own pros and cons. my preference: manhwa > manga > manhua.
and also, im apologize. its okay to call any artworks as manga. but imagine if the artist read the comments. their hardworking manhua/manhwa get called as manga instead. its really sad. but i guess who cares right? its not like artist/author care for them either. but atleast just treat this as a new knowledge.
throw that ego away. only you can change yourself. peace
