| I just saw an article on here about the differences of manga, manhua, and manhwa but onthe list of examples, 90% of the manhwa examples were a webtoon. I'm not trying to be nit picky but a webtoon isn't really a manhwa I wanted to know what other people thought on this Oh okay so people don't the difference and that's cool most people don't really know and the only reason I know is because I'm just a nerd like that lol Manga is well you know japanese comics and Manhua is the chinese version of that while manhwa is the korean version. However, pretty recently ( and I mean as in when the internet pretty much started developing), in Korea, these called webtoons came out which are web comics, digital, fully coloured and every chapter that is generally about the same or longer than most mangas, manhwas, manhua comes out every week on a webtoon site. Some you might know will be: Noblesse, Tower of God, Abide in the Wind, etc. Most of them are in full colour though some webtoon authors decide to do black and white or smiple little colouring for stylistic choices (but these are quite rare to find) So sum it up, manhwa is book (for pretty much old sytle, Korean people rarely make manhwas anymore) and webtoon is digital. But some americans are getting into webtoon too so I personally think webtoon itself is a whole new multi-cultural "genre" (I don't know how to say it) itself If you still don't get it here is the article I read and maybe it explains it better for you ( though it doesn't have any on webtoons) Article link: https://myanimelist.net/featured/1482/Manga_Manhua_and_Manhwa__What%E2%80%99s_the_difference |

| You know what? i do get it about all of the difference and what makes me sad is MAL doesn't accept Manhua entry here just like Battle Through the Heavens(Dou Po Cang Qiong) and Tales of Demons and Gods(Yao Shen Ji). they were on Top 10 Ranking on Mangahere and yet there is no entry on MAL. i know it is about rules and all of those technical shit but still T_T. . . |

I know I feel that I know the term "anime" is really focused on japanese mangas and well anime but still.. ehh i dunooo it's confusing |

I know I feel that I know the term "anime" is really focused on japanese mangas and well anime but still.. ehh i dunooo it's confusing Yeah. i believe Anime nowadays not necessarily about Japanese Manga. i mean just look, Anime recently does Collaboration w/ Thailanese,Koreans and Chinese people. Anime Industry can't stand on its own nowadays and if MAL community still stick w/ their discrimination rules on what entry should be allowed in here. i don't know and i'm not certain that MAL community could last for another decade or less. i mean if they're not open wide their eyes to the globalization era. they were clearly 'gonna be left behind. |

| Did you really just reference a site that uploads scans/translations as a reason why something should be allowed in the database? That's literally like me complaining why all the doujinshis I want to add to my list aren't on MAL but are on the top list of some other site. Regardless manhuas are on MAL https://myanimelist.net/topmanga.php?type=manhua As for webtoons not being manhwas, that seems to be no different than the mindset of people who don't think anime are cartoons. And just to add on, webtoons are not limited to just manwhas, there are Japanese webtoons, but they use a different term than webtoons, I forgot the specific name, think it was something along the lines of side scrolling manga or something. An example of a series would be ReLife. |

But the whole thing on anime being cartoons and webtoons not limited to just manhwas, it was just the article which gave examples of manhwas with webtoons which I felt wasn't entirely accurate. In terms of anime being cartoons, it would be saying Last Airbender and Attack on titan are on the same base of being "cartoon". I know it's a lot more far from just webtoons and manhwas and involves the whole cultural aspect but it was a question I had on if others though webtoons were manhwas too. Last time I asked a question of is Last Airbender considered an anime people kinda lost thier sht on saying no which is correct in terms of speaking but it was a question of if this was different |

| When all is on the web this site's database will be locked, I guess. |
 |
| @ultravigo the truth is i don't really care 'bout all these debate and argument on entry allowance. all i want were nothing but i could express all what i like and love on MAL. if you'd be nice, 'gimme the link of Battle Through the Heavens on MAL so that i could add it on my entry. i tried to search it but there is none. |

Thanks. i don't know 'bout these one exist on MAL. anyway, i don't really care 'bout all these debate and arguments though. i just 'wanna express all what i like and love on MAL. hopefully in the future, the entry would exist. if not, well. . .i just had to register on NovelUpdates and linked it here for my own satisfaction then. |

| I think some webtoons are manhwas as well as far as I can understand. Some of the webtoons I know are published physically into a manhwa like Imitation and My Beautiful World |
| Definitely yes, it is a generic term after all. |
