The difference between the Manga and Western comics of tradition was always less about drawing style and plot/content and more about panel to panel transitions (simplification- western comcis have more moment to moment manga have more aspect to aspect) and the impact the religious traditions of the nations had on the development of tropes (simplification: western abrihamic tradition = superhero. Manga shinto/buddist tradition = giant robot) however, given that the originators of Manga in Japan were influenced by Western animation and comcis at the time (everyone knows Tezuko loved Walt Disneys work) I dont see even a lick of a problem with a modern definition being simple that Manga is merely the Japanese word for comics. There all comics. They’re all Manga. The genre definitions however (shogo/romance/shonen/western /sci-fi whatever) are still very important.

However, in the interests of authenticity and historical archival accuracy I will not make any corrections on these old random comments of mine from around the intertubes that I'm reposting and will rather represent them in their original state.
