*manhwa
I’m intrigued by the differences in the media honestly. Isn’t it odd that manga is practically always black and white? There must be next to no demand for colour manga. Meanwhile, I’m most familiar with manhwa as vertically scrolling colour comics, and manhua similar with a bit different conventions. Regarding manhua, I like that this group posts comics with same-sex relations for both men and women. That’s pretty cash money. Shame Tan Jiu isn’t allowed to post anymore.
Currently reading 19 Days which that group either translated or made, and it’s been pretty good, thanks for the shout-out
Yeah, I wonder how that happened, why did manga never make it to phones as scrolling comics just like manhwa and manhua?
Either way, I enjoy manhwa and manhua, especially phoenix rise above evil, hero killer and the knight only lives today, Mangas are difficult to read on phones so I never really gave them a try funnily enough.
I really like manchego…
What are the differences? I only know Manga
Same word pronounced differently in three languages.
Nothing against it, but I simply prefer watching the anime.
Though I really enjoyed the Chrono Crusade manga.
I prefer manga because usually* it’s longer per chapter and I’d like to read left to right then up and down but I do like all and read all.
They are all creative as fuck, great media if you can suspend reality a little bit. The names are different because the countries they came from, but the context of the media and stories are very similar they also influence each other.
One is Japanese comics, the other two sound related.
Yeah, the two remaining are usually vertical scrolling colored comics that are read in a similar way to manga, but on phones instead.
Manhua and manwha is basically the same. Their meaning is basically the same as manga. Maybe you would know it better as webtoons
Are you asking country specific based on the transliterations? I feel manga can be fun but also quite goofy. Less experience with the others. The Korean ones I see in the library seem underdeveloped and the Chinese ones somewhat better

Well, it depends. There are mangas/manwhas/manhuas that I like more mangas/manwhas/manhuas that I like less an others than I don’t like at all.
The only thing I don’t like in all three is censorship As we say in Spanish: “Libres Domingos y Domingas”
Just finished reading Dungeon Meshi, good stuff
All sorts of comics are pretty cool!
All three are 90% trash, 8% good for wasting braincells and 2% among the best in the format of graphic novel.
That being said the manhua style of vertical scrolling to read is better than any other format for vertical screen devices. After getting used to it (and getting a reader than can cache fast enough to keep up) reading manga and ebooks just feels incredibly clunky and unintuitive.
That being said the monetary schemes for manhua/hwa are sometimes ridiculously predatory. If you want to read ethically you better have some serious money, especially for longer series with shorter chapters.
In the format of a visual novel? Examples?
Wrong wording, graphic novel is what I meant, the best manhuas and mangas are as good as the best western and south American style comics. I was trying to lump them all together in one phrase and forgot visual novels were a thing.
Mainly due to trauma from
Euphoria and starless
Respect it as art and entertainment people like. Personally, could not care less.
I read online - translated ones.
My only note is that if a comic is Chinese origin, the story telling is usually full of holes, like they skipped 5-6 panels that other type of mangas would had. So it could be annoying for the readers who are not used to it. (I honestly dislike it, so I avoid them.)Manhua seem to be very crowded with competitors leading to some only focusing on niches and abandoning everything else
A manhua I’ve been reading is 48 hours a day. Title intrigued me, so I gave it a try.
Spoiler alert: He was given an extra 24 hours a day, but nothing comes from it. the story was where I was drawn in, because there was a manwha that I used to read (before it got canned) that used the same premise
This shows that the Chinese manhua market is extremely condensed, and it’s no wonder why it would have bad content as a result when everyone attempts to compete…
Honestly I thought it was because of cultural differences in the way stories are told.
I would think if they are spending time to create something they would actually want to capture the audience instead of making subpar stuff. Especially if they decide to translate them to other languages…
