Manga? Because my friend and I say it two completely different ways.

And on a slightly different subject, I finally began reading some, and found that I really like it. smile

I thought it was Mahn-Ga (With the G as in doG)

And mahn - is like the 'bah' in banana. XD

I also never knew that anime is pronounced as 'aaaa-knee-may'. With the 'a' is in bana-n-aaaaa.

Get it? I suck at explaining this in English. gonk

I always say "mahn-GA". But I'm a sad strange little white boy.
Edit: With the "man" rhyming with "Anne".

Chapple- that's how she said it. Really? That's how anime's said? I've always said ' ahn-nah-may '
and I kept saying manga like main-gah sweatdrop

I pronounce anime the same way you do.

I used to pronounce it man-guh, with the "man" sound, but I was corrected to mon-guh.

In all reality, it can be said both ways, and it is correct. I've just converted to mon-guh

I say it like mango, but with "ah" at the end. If you pronouce mango odd, then think of tango. cool

On the finally discovering the awesome of manga reading the bit, read Pandora Hearts, Kuroshitsuji and D.Gray-man you fiend! : D

All three are horribly addictive. I just noticed the Pandora Hearts summary makes absolutely no sense. Way to go, onemanga. User Image

...I think that's the same site my brother gets his hentai.

@ Toon, Tehe, I love those mangas ^^

@ annador, I've heard that the "correct" pronunciation is "mahn-ga"/"mon-ga", but lots of people (including me) still say "main-ga". I just can't seem to make the switch when so many people around me just say "main-ga". It really makes no difference.

I've yet to see a hentai on onemanga in the almost three years I've known it, he's probably hitting the dark corners mangafox.
