What is the difference between manga and comics?
It is obvious. Comics (American comics) are usually about A SUPER HERO. Manga has various genres include super hero stories. Obviously that is one difference.

The atmosphere of comics is usually serious, and there are heroes. However, before 1960, comics had various genres like manga, such as Funny animal comic, Western, Love story, Horror, War and Criminal story. But the American comic community adjusted comic’s rules strictly for children’s education. They thought comics were giving harmful effect on children, except for super hero comics. So, many comics disappeared since 1950. That’s why recent comics are dominated by the super hero genre such as Spider Man, X-men and Batman.
Another thing is comics are easy to understand. Even kids can read and understand. Some manga are also easy to understand, because manga has many genres include Shounen manga (this is for teenagers). However, most manga are more complicated than comics. Sometimes it is difficult to read.
Some manga is educational. This is also different than comics. For example, Say Hello to Black Jack is extremely informative. This manga is about a doctor and hospital. It is written about all serious real problems such as cancer problems. It must make you think deeply. You can take something away from this manga.
These are the differences between manga and comics. I think if you are a mature person, maybe you don’t want to read comics. But even though you are mature or you are 60 years old, you can read manga and you can learn from manga. This is the biggest difference.
Nevertheless, manga and graphic novels are extremely similar. You should check graphic novels as well.
