this is the manwha club.....personally, i like manwha better than manga in many respects.....also if you have never heard of manwha, then go do some reaserch and then post here about how you liked it........
1. manwah is more detailed in it's art style
2. manwha is more realistic
3. manwha is often more original in it's storylines because manwha has a MUCH smaller market

SO GIVE MANWHA A LOOK!!!!

I disagree with 1, 2, and 3, but it's really all just matter of opinion in the end, I suppose.

Have fun with your club.

Korean reads from left to right, so you don't have the problem of--

1. Mirroring the translation, and enraging all the elitists
2. Keeping the original orientation, and confusing the newbs.

manwha more realistic? in Ragnarok all the characters both male and female have absurdly tiny waists.

I agree with the last statement: excepting the last part of the third statement, all of them are almost entirely subjective. Personally, I don't feel there are any significant differences (there are some stylistic differences, but frankly they don't make the slightest difference to me).

Now, on an administrative note: what do you intend the point of this club to be? If you mean you'll have a thread and talk about a common interest, more power to you. But in terms of actual CAA endorsement, we have enough clubs as it is.

Ragnarok was manwha? I did not know that. I still prefer manga but it is still good.

Manwha--Korean comics, in a style similar to Japanese manga.

^_^; I don't really see much of a difference between manwha and manga, though I admit I happen to read my fair share of manwha (Diary of a Demon King being my favorite...). I don't think it's fair to generalize about either manwha or manga, though, because they're like regular books. >_> They're all different no matter what country they come from

Actually most manhwa I saw had worse art than manga. What I did notice with manhwa is that it tends to be cleaner than comparable manga-- less fanservice etc (I believe South Korea has stricter rules on what is allowed). I enjoyed "50 Rules for Teens" and "Love or Money" and wish they would put out more volumes.

One thing that drives me nuts about manhwa is since I can't read Korean, I can't make out the sfx. With JP, it's easy.

It's easy because you know how to read it. Unlike me, who knows the korean, but not the jap. :X

I like Unplugged Boy; I've never seen such original humor.

Haven't heard of it, but I'll keep my eye out (I presume it;s translated?)

Uh, yeah. I may get raked over hot coals for this, but I would think that this thread should be in the manga forum. It is actually Manga's cousin, seeing as how the first manwha was influenced by the small import of comics S. Korea was at that time receiving from Japan. It has it's differences, but I'm actually more of the opinion that the 2 aren't that far apart in relation. Also, most manwha tends to be more realistic, because the Korean people as a whole are more interested in realistic comics. One of the most popular genra's in Korea are Japanese sports manga. At least, that's what I read in Newtype USA.

On a personal note, I like Kill Me, Kiss Me, President Dad, and Neck and Neck. I think those artists draw fairly well, but I've also seen my share of poorly drawn Manwha. So I tend to be of the opinion that manga is for the most part better drawn. Then again, manga has evolved over the years, being a much older/larger form of entertainment. I see it's Korean cousin constantly improving as it continues to build momentum. In my personal opinion, that is.

I was just googling around for it, but I can't find the scanlators who translated it. XP But, no, I don't think it's commercially available though. Too bad, I thought it was really funny and nice. ^^

Postby **HwaRang777** » Tue Apr 19, 2005 6:12 pm

I just have to say this but: manga and manwha (correctly spelled manhwa) are more or less the same, the only difference is the language and national origin, as well as there is no more difference from one another than from one artist to the next. While I do prefer reading korean manhwas/mangas I still like to read a couple japanese ones like Getbackers or AI Love you

Postby **Jasdero** » Tue Apr 19, 2005 6:34 pm

Demon Diary is another manhwa series.

Personally, I prefer to not make any distinction between manga and manwha. I read based on whether I like the series, since both manga and manwha have their share of series' that don't come as favorable to me. ^^ Both of them, besides having different origins, are the same to me.

also UC, i intend this to be a manhwa discussion thread mainly, and to clear up the fog that hazes manga and manhwa

WOW beautiful avatar sunako!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that looks soo cool....where did you get/find it?????

Postby **Mave** » Tue Apr 19, 2005 7:24 pm

There are only two differences I've seen so far:

1) Like AnimeHeretic said, I have yet to see those type of eh...perversions in manwha. However, I've seen some homosexuality around.

2) The male characters tend to be too pretty for me to bear <-- Note: this is from a bishie fangirl

But I'm pretty sure I could be wrong on both accounts. After all, I've only read a handful of manwha.

Can everyone list the manwha they've read?

Manwha I've read: (or at least I -think- they're manwha)
Red Lion
Gung
The Way This Boy Lives
WA
Kimi Kara wa Resume (?? But the title is Japanese)
They, too love
Shin Angyo Onshi (My fav. 'shonen' manwha so far)

This list consists of scanlations though so.....I don't expect everyone to recognize them. <.< >.>;;;

i never heard of this manwha, maybe thats why i seriously thought the title was supposed to be

"the first CAA mwahaha club"

Postby **That Dude** » Tue Apr 19, 2005 7:28 pm

I have seen manga that are just as realistic. But I don't want to cause any trouble so yeah. I love those pics though. All in all manga and manhwa are very close and as with all comics the quality of story and art varies with the creater. I've seen some fantastic art in manhwas as well as not so good. Same with mangas...So yeah thats cool that you like it so much but for peace's sake please try and keep from bashing manga ok?

Postby **emersongreen** » Tue Apr 19, 2005 7:38 pm

no fear of that Mr. That Dude

i LUV my manga, so i don't often go and bash it, i just wanted to prove my point about originality, and stuff (btw That dude, send me the links to this detailed manga) i would like to find out more about it)

anyway, that is just from one particular artist that tends to blow my artistic socks off with his beautiful style....if you want me to post more manwha style art, maybe i will post some more later, but chew on those juicy morsels for now.....

also for those who posted about ragnarok..... i don't really like the art in ragnarok, but the story was ok ( i guess ).....

Postby **Debitt** » Tue Apr 19, 2005 7:40 pm

=O I thought Magna Carta was a game...

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't appreciate the art in manwha...but they're not Sakura Kinoshita. :lol:

And I agree, I don't think the art in the Ragnarok manwha was that stellar. ^^;

I wish you guys would learn that if you want to start a new club, you need to PM a staffer and ask permission to do so first. I didn't think I'd have to write it into the FAQs because I thought that was pretty commonknowledge, but I guess I have to now.

Anyway, my point is PLEASE PM a staffer and ask permission before doing stuff like this.

Postby **emersongreen** » Tue Apr 19, 2005 7:51 pm

magna carta is a game....but i am lucky enough to know of some websites that contain the original magna carta ( all the art is manhwa let me add ) concept art, and i am a HUGE fan of some particularly good artists who together acctually drew all the pictures that i posted!!!!!!! ^_^

btw....all the magna carta characters started out as manhwa characters before they made the game!!!!

interesting how you learn stuff eh?

another pic by the same artist (this one isn't magna carta related though)

well....i have to ask all you nice folks to plz stop posting on this thread until further notice....i am currently on hiatus until the staff aproves the club because i didn't follow proper procedure, because i started this cub without asking the staff......so until further notice, lets try to hold of posting until this club is approved...

OK?

btw, to everyone who posted, it's my fault that this thread has to be posponed because i didn't follow precedure :red:

SRY ALL!!!!!

Postby **That Dude** » Tue Apr 19, 2005 8:10 pm

That's cool Emerson. Yeah I just said that because I know some people might've taken what you were saying the wrong way so...But yeah I love that guy who did the Magna Carta's artwork. One of the manga's that I was reffering to about having great art is the one called "Vagabond." It has a very realistic style. Also another one that I've glanced at the had some great art was one called "Deux Vitale." I wouldn't recommend either because they get pretty dirty (from what I've glanced through.)

what manga can even compete with this type of realism!!!!!!!!!
btw, if you PM me i can send you another 100 links with as much detail and coolness as these

so lets not come to conclutions about detail eh?

Great art style I've seen many American comics done in this same fashion...But I'm sorry to me nutin beats a spikey haird pretty boy with a huge sword that "realisticly" he could not hold.

However you may turn people away from this thread with your "Manwha is better than manga and this is why!" Once I read all your reason I felt like saying something tht I'm afraid I cant post on the fourms.

Also your logic is flawed by thinking everyone is attracted to realisim.
