Confusion about the word Anime and the word Manga - 12-15-2014, 02:54 AM

We do know Anime is the Japanese word for their trademark of Cartoons. Manga is the Japanese trademark (BRAND) of their Comics.

Know the difference.

P.S When reading Manga. Read the book backwards obviously. You can also space out and flip through the book randomly. It`s kinda cool. Bought The Hellgate London manga in Germany 8 weeks ago. Semi decent.

Anime is Japanese style of shortened word for "Animation", which means cartoon movie.

Manga often means still cartoon and sometimes includes both still and movie cartoon.
