		HOUSTON, June 14, 2004—ADV Manga’s first Korean manhwa, The Ruler of the Land, is a hit with critics of all stripes.
		The reviewer notes, “Originally published in Korea in 1994, this martial arts manhwa plants one foot firmly in the action school while the other stakes out ground in comedy.
		With all the makings of an addictive and attractive title to add to your collection-great characters, engaging art and story, and a complex martial arts-driven storyline-Ruler is an enjoyable change of pace from regular Japanese works.

	Girls' Manhwa
		Manhwa and manga are the same word (same kanji), they simply have a different pronounciation in Korea and Japan.
		Although the first girls' manhwa (I.N.V.U.) was published in English in 2002, the number of series in English remains small compared to the influx of manga.
		Their process for acquiring manhwa is, unlike their manga, haphazard and mostly based on the suggestions of the publishers.

	Manhwa
		Manhwa, in Korean, is a general term for comics and cartoons (including animated cartoons).
		Although manhwa is distinct from Japanese manga and Chinese manhua, all three terms are cognates.
		Manhwa is read in the same direction as Western books, horizontally and from left to right, because hangul is normally written and read horizontally (although it can also be written and read like Chinese and Japanese, that is, vertically from right to left).

	Animefringe: May 2005 - Reviews - Bambi Vol. 1
		Not to be confused with Osamu Tezuka’s Bambi, this one-shot manhwa is a retelling of the story of the Swan Prince, though truthfully, it’s really an appendix to the tale instead of an outright reimagining.
		However, the story didn’t end completely happily: the sixth prince’s transformation was incomplete, leaving one of his arms as a wing.
		Dissatisfied by the way that the mythmaker left it, this particular manhwa artist decided to take the story into her own hands and grant the sixth prince a proper ending.

		Manhwa artists have much more control over, and responsibilty for, the direction of their stories than Japanese artists.

	comicreaders.com - Priest volume 1 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		All this interest in manga is certainly good news for the manga-ka and the Japanese publishers, but the hype has also proved to be lucrative for the lesser known manhwa, which are comics published in Korea.
		While CPM Manga delved into manhwa's past to find its first manhwa series-- books from Hyun Se Lee, who is to manhwa what Osamu Tezuka is to manga-- TOKYOPOP sought out and licensed recent manhwa, created by some of the hippest and most promising creators on the scene.
		Its setting is the old American West, an era and place that is about as different from Korea as one can get, and yet the setting feels authentic, at least in regards to how that era was portrayed by the likes of John Houston and Sergio Leone.

	coffeeandink: Very brief takes on recent manhwa (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Manhwa may be easier for some native English-speakers to read simply because, like English, it runs left-to-right.
		I am glad to see that manhwa continues the manga tradition of making the US the country of rich, hot, selfish blonds; I am just disappointed In-Young doesn't carry a gun.
		Of course in manhwa I wouldn't be surprised to see them all bent out of shape.

	Aestheticism Articles \| Intro to Manhwa
		The Korean commercial comics industry, despite its relative infancy, is enormous, encompassing both impressive and rapid translations of a mind-boggling number of Japanese releases and a ballooning domestic creative sphere.
		Actually, most Korean manhwa are fifteen years old or less, and in the genres for girls where the majority of Korean artists predominate, on eyeball approximation Korean manhwa represent between 30-40% of the total comic book volume (the remaining books are of course Korean translations of shoujo manga).
		To put it bluntly, short of the practical differences outlined in previous paragraphs, it is near-impossible to distinguish Korean manhwa from Japanese manga without being familiar with individual artists or titles in question.

		Over the last few months my interest in Manhwa has been peeked by a handful of really good titles that are seriously running the risk of becoming my favourites for this year.
		If they handle the manhwa with the same due care and attention they lavish on their Yaoi we are in for a real treat.
		A couple of us were just recently chatting about manhwa over on the YS forums– specifically, someone nominated Boy Princess for “best manga,” and I mentioned One Thousand and One Nights, which I absolutely adore.

	Demon Daze 3.0 oh,i love you,i love you so
		As assistants, we had mostly drawn sunyun manhwas, so our drawing style, the stories we came up with, and so on were influenced much by that.
		And, well, in sonyun manhwas, you have to show a lot of action, which is quite difficult to do all on your own.
		But since the story writer isn't the one who finally creates the manhwa, in the stage of the story writing, the storyboard doesn't show many manhwa-like features.

		The Essential Guide to World Comics by Tim Pilcher and Brad Brooks is exactly what it claims to be.
		The opening lines are: "In other countries and cultures they’re called manga, manhua, manhwa, bande dessinee or BD, komicks, bilderstreifen or bildergecshichter… In the USA and UK they’re known as comic books and they are the most prevalent, important yet misunderstood art form in the world."
		Having spent a fair amount of time in Europe, immersed in the culture of comics, sometimes as a guest of festivals, and other times just visiting friends, I’ve discovered the surprising diversity - - and unity - - that makes up the world comics scene.
