Talk: Manga

What the heck is "manhwa"? An alternate spelling of "manga"?

This category should be renamed to "Manga", since that is the most recognizable word.

Or better yet, it should be merged with the Comic Books category, because there's not really any reason to keep this type of comic separated. It seems ridiculous to separate certain comics just because they're drawn a particular way.--Baluki 02:37, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Please read Manhwa, where it starts with "Manga" redirects to here for now...

Manhwa isn't it the term used for Korean "comics"? While the manga is technically "manhwa" by the fact that the artist is Korean; The series is definitely listed as "manga" in the official publication in the comics themselves. We should be listing things under the official publication term, not technicalities. So first thing I say the new category is somewhat misleading. Secondly one definition of manga is is "comic", or "cartoon" from a english translation pov. So yes technically both could fall under the same category of Comic Books as you mentioned. ...or we could create a Comics & Manga category for both.Baggins 02:45, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

I'd say create the a category for both, since we have a template for both as well. {{Graphic novel}}. Hmm, just noticed the graphic says Manga, when the description bar reads Manhwa..

Agreed, they should both be in the same category. If there are separate categories they should at least exist as subcats under the main category for both. BTW, its not our job to "correct" Tokyopop, or Blizzard for interpreted incorrect use of termninology. Both companies both list them as "mangas" officially[1]. So manga should be the main article. Manwha should be a foot note within the manga article.Baggins 02:54, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Since Category:Graphic novels already exists, how about we just move everything in Manhwa's category there. Same with Comic book's category. Looks like most of it has been double catted anyway.
