So basically they're Korean comics and are read western style. They're usually more obscure compared to the mainstream shonenjump manga that's taking over most manga sections. But I'm starting to get into them. Really detailed art, and it's just done differently than manga.

It's a nice change of pace, but onto the point of this thread. Basically who else is liking the Manhwa stuff and what series have u read or like? Me, I just picked up "Banya:The Explosive Deliveryman" today and was quite impressed. (I'd recommend it if some violence and language doesn't bother you)

I've been a big Ragnarok: Into the Abyss fan, but Lee Myung-Jin halted it after Volume 11 I think to focus more on the game development :\

I actually like that style of art more than most manga styles, too

banya...looks pretty interesting. the art is definitely the type of art that i like.

I really like the Korean artwork as well. I remember flipping through Island and being highly impressed with the quality of the work, though, I should note that it's pretty violent. I'll try and check out Banya some time.

You'd really dig it, man. Definately try to find it

It's hit and miss with the manhwa for me. Though I really enjoyed Demon Dairy. It was just so funny.

I love some manhwa. Faerie's Landing is the tops.

I really liked this old manwha called Unplugged Boy. It was so funny and I just wanted to know what happened. Otherwise, manwha can sometimes be really skewered in anatomy. 6_9;

Why the heck is it spelled "manwha" when it's pronounced "mahn-a"

I never understood it. "Mahn-a" means cartoon, where as "Mahn-a chek" means "Cartoon book" aka "Comic" or "Manga"

Anyway, my dad would read the "mahn-a" strips in our korean newspapers.

Whoops, manhwa, not manwha.

만화 : Isn't it H-oa? So it sounds like a wuh sound?

Maybe I'm wrong then? I don't know. Koreans pronounce things so differently when they say stuff quickly.

And that is "Hwa" so what you wrote is pronounced "man-hwa" (with the H being pronounced)
