One is Japanese comics, the other two sound like a related.

Are you asking country specific based on the transliterations? I feel manga can be fun but also quite goofy. Less experience with the others. The Korean ones I see in the library seem underdeveloped and the Chinese ones somewhat better

*manhwa

I’m intrigued by the differences in the media honestly. Isn’t it odd that manga is practically always black and white? There must be next to no demand for colour manga. Meanwhile, I’m most familiar with manhwa as vertically scrolling colour comics, and manhua similar with a bit different conventions. Regarding manhua, I like that this group posts comics with same-sex relations for both men and women. That’s pretty cash money. Shame Tan Jiu isn’t allowed to post anymore.

I really like manchego…

What are the differences? I only know Manga

All three are 90% trash, 8% good for wasting braincells and 2% among the best in the format of graphic novel.

That being said the manhua style of vertical scrolling to read is better than any other format for vertical screen devices. After getting used to it (and getting a reader than can cache fast enough to keep up) reading manga and ebooks just feels incredibly clunky and unintuitive.

That being said the monetary schemes for manhua/hwa are sometimes ridiculously predatory. If you want to read ethically you better have some serious money, especially for longer series with shorter chapters.

Respect it as art and entertainment people like. Personally, could not care less.

Nothing against it, but I simply prefer watching the anime.

Though I really enjoyed the Chrono Crusade manga.

Well, it depends. There are mangas/manwhas/manhuas that I like more mangas/manwhas/manhuas that I like less an others than I don’t like at all.

The only thing I don’t like in all three is censorship As we say in Spanish: “Libres Domingos y Domingas”

I prefer manga because usually* it’s longer per chapter and I’d like to read left to right then up and down but I do like all and read all.

Just finished reading Dungeon Meshi, good stuff

They are all creative as fuck, great media if you can suspend reality a little bit. The names are different because the countries they came from, but the context of the media and stories are very similar they also influence each other.

I read online - translated ones.
My only note is that if a comic is Chinese origin, the story telling is usually full of holes, like they skipped 5-6 panels that other type of mangas would had. So it could be annoying for the readers who are not used to it. (I honestly dislike it, so I avoid them.)

1. I’ve read plenty of manga, so I’m more familiar with them and how I feel is definitely dependent on the writing and art style. Bakuman (from the creators of Death Note)? Love it for the art style and story. I also love how it shows you how the mangaka industry works to a degree, from the standpoint of close to 2 decades ago now at least. Currently don’t have a manga series in my collection I don’t like, so can’t say anything about one I dislike currently.

2. I have not read any manwha besides a series I have the first 2 books of called Zero/Six. I don’t really care for the whole webtoons thing since I’d rather collect a physical copy of a series for something of similar style to a manga.

Side note: I have reservations about continuing to read Zero/Six considering I just looked at volume 1 to confirm something and I was right when thinking I remembered Hitler being in the book. He’s literally the main characters German teacher and within the first page we see him he’s literally called Hitler (looks exactly like him too) and does a Nazi salute after beating a students ass with a wooden stick(?). I get the book was originally published in the 90s and translated in the mid-2000s, but that’s definitely a pretty big red flag for me on an otherwise pretty good series.

3. Manhua is the one I’d say I definitely have the absolute least experience with. Closest I have is finding some translated Fei Ren Zai 4 panel manhua online. Props to the creators of that manhua and the donghua because I like them for some of the comedy and random short skits. Not much else to say.

Manga can be really good if you dont look what big names like shonen jump have to offer. Some more dark mangakas are really good and touch topics that other people have fear to touch or are too weird to they culture, like, idk “aku no hana”, “onani master Kurosawa” or “bokura no hentai”
