I mean, you already got your term for that kind of comic...and manga is a fine term...no need to keep pushing the issue right?

"Manhwa" sounds like some kind of vomit noise and should be only categorized as such.

Manga and that's that.

They aren't different enough to be called anything else.

Good discussion, good resolution, glad we all agree and nice talk

I mean, I get that they (Koreans) WANT to think they are important and different enough to deserve their own word for it and even that they all WANTED it so bad they used their definition.

Not arguing what they want to do, just what they should.

If I walk up to a guy and say "man...HWA!" he will likely think I'm hacking something up on him...given the current pandemic I may even get attacked or removed from public property.

The Gamer was cool. My two favorite manhwa are Black God/Kurokami, and Unbalance x Unbalance. (Black God was set in Japan but created in Korea)

Black God was really good (and surprisingly had absolutely no qualms about the female protagonist getting the brakes beat off her on a regular basis, by both the protagonist for laughs, and the villains for drama), but the scans were dropped. And Unbalance x Unbalance was also great, before the series went on hiatus for a few years, after which point the quality took a nosedive.

Tower of God is a great Korean manhwa. Hopefully, the author recovers from his heath issues, for his sake.

It's the second break he's taken from writing for health reasons. As much as I would like him to get back to writing, I want him to recover regardless if he kept writing.

I think if anything, it just makes you a weaboo. If it's not Japanese then it's not manga, so it would be better called under the blanket term comics. Using a specifically Japanese word when neither you nor the subject are Japanese is textbook weaboo.

And that is why I actually started to look at the author of every single new manga that pops up before I read it so that I never read another series by Im Dal Young. He starts a bunch of series with really good premises and goes 10-20 chapters (usually) before putting it on a multi year hiatus before he is forced by publishers to wrap the series up in short order. He's trash, and I got lured into reading his stuff too many times and I learned my lesson.

Also I keep meaning, and forgetting, to check out tower of god.
