Manhua (simplified Chinese: 漫画; traditional Chinese: 漫畫; pinyin: mànhuà; lit. 'impromptu sketches') are Chinese comics produced in China and in the Greater China region. Whilst Chinese comics and narrated illustrations having existed in China in some shape or form throughout its imperial history, the term manhua first appeared in 1904 in a comic titled 'Current Affairs Comics' or shíshì mànhuà (时事漫画) in the Shanghai-based newspaper, Jingzhong Daily (警钟日报).

Manhua may also refer to comics with a manhua / donghua styled-art or comics with a Chinese translation

Manhua's can vary in style and format- due to the rise of webcomics, webmanhua's such as 19 days have been doing exceptionally good and has opened up the international world to danmei (Chinese BL). Manhua's are usually done by and for Chinese people with the intention of getting big in China- although some are more well-known outside of China. Manhua's are usually very colorful and are read just like any other comic- from left to right.

A lesbian who gets her heart broken by every girl and still loves every girl she comes a across. She’s pretty good at conveying her emotions and will never stray.

You’ll be lucky if you have a Maihua in your life and if you are one... good luck bubas.
Girl 1: There’s nothing I wanna do more in life than marry her.
Girl 2: You are such a Maihua.

Girl 1: Are you sure about this one? She seems like a player.
Girl 2: Nah, she’s a Maihua.

Manual Mangina 

A Manual Mangina is when a man (or dildo wearing woman) uses heir penis (or phallic device) to manipulate time and space. In order to do this, participants need to stand naked in a mildly populated area and whip heir phallic ownership up and down until enough momentum enables the cock handler to catch their phallic device between heir legs and hold it there. Causing the owner of the phallus to look like a girl (thus the appearance of the Mangina) laughing or name calling might ensue, or even applause if the owner can manage the Mangina in a single thrust.
