I personally think there is nothing wrong with manga. And when people think of manga they see that anime type drawing style. But that isn't what manga is about. A great manga teacher once said, " It isn't about the drawing style. Manga is about moving the reader with emotion." His english wasn't the best. But he was just trying to say the difference between comics and manga. Manga turns on emotions in a reader. Comics are usually just for general entertainment.
3nodding if by manga, you only mean japanese comics i would have to disagree with that statement entirely, simply because i've read japanese manga that only enterntained or even not at all, and american comics that really did turn on emotions and thoughts.
In fact, that's really the only distinction i make between manga and comics. One describes material from japan/asia or referes to a style/genre, the other is a generic term that could be manga or anything else.
