Difention of Manga:

Manga is the asian (japanese is the best i reckon- drawing wise.) form of comic books.
It is different as in it's not structed completly in sharp boxes, but is more fluid and usually join together.
THe drawing style is also completly different.
Manga is read like books in asia and at the moment its a big hit in America and Australia with teens.
With such authors as James Patterson and Cassandra Clare picking up the craze and publishing there stories in this form.


Melody [not just some girl you can sway] (melo-chan) | 1281 comments heh. Have you read Bleach? I almost gave up on it, buuuut, the latest chapters have made me extremely happy I didn't ^_^


Melody [not just some girl you can sway] (melo-chan) | 1281 comments Good definition. I know manwha is Korean manga.

Yes! Best scene EVER!!!!


message 217: by Mandy (new)

Mandy  Harmon (mandyharmon) | 10724 comments I hate it when characters are:

1. flawless (i mean, come on!)

2. aren't really brave. heroics are needed!! just not perfect ones.

3. when authors don't describe them, and I picture totally different then what they are.


message 218: by [deleted user] (new)

i hate it when on the cover of the book they show the main charicter and then either 3 things happen

1) you cant picture the person in your head, it ruins the fun
2) the person on the cover looks nothing like he/she is described in the book
3) you get one of those pic's and you see like two people that hate each-other and theres a line between the pic. (ones bright ones dark) and then you already know the whole story

o meant eh back of a head or a shodow or a part of their body ins fine, but just dont show the face.

message 238: by [deleted user] (new)

March!!

I hate when u c the movie and tge characters r nothing like u inagined them and then it ruins the book for u cuz u always c the actors face now and dont picture it for urself


message 239: by [deleted user] (new)

I hate when the main character cannot bring themselves to kill the villain. It doesn't make you the bigger person, it just makes you stupid for letting them get away again(or getting locked up but then they escape anyway). It irks me :/


message 240: by [deleted user] (new)

Omg yes!!! Totally!! That bugs me so bad!!


message 241: by [deleted user] (new)

What if u described how they look like someone else as theyre looking in the mirror but that person is dead so the character gets upset and smashes the mirror because she doesn't like getting caught off guard and believing the person is there when shes not cuz its just her...?

See, that depends on the story. Oftentimes I think it's nice to know what the character looks like. You still have room to imagine after that, and it makes things closer to the way the author wanted it. But like I said, it depends on the story.


message 243: by [deleted user] (new)

Ya like i have a short story i wrote where that whole thing i posted earler happens, but her looking like her mother is a huge part in the story so its preeeeetty necessary at least in my case to describe how theyre alike u knw?

Poema (Elizabeth) wrote: "This is mostly for books and what you shouldn't do. Don't have your character look at themselves in the mirror or describe your character's appearance. It doesn't give the reader an opportunity to ..."

I think that it's necessary to describe what a character looks like. I like to be able to imagine a character in my head. However, I don't like when authors go into minute detail about a characters appearance. I like to have an outline for the character and fill in the rest with my imagination.


message 245: by [deleted user] (new)

Ya cara u pretty much said it perfectly

Yehppp.. I mean, like: She had graying hair, tucked up in a Victorian style bun. Her peircing gray eyes were aging, yet timeless... And on and on.. :P
