Get the manga mug.
Get the manga mug.A word used to describe a new level of uncool in north american contemporary culture. Ranked on a higher and larger scale of wierdos, due to their liking for animated porn rathen then something a little more humanistic they have grown to replace the rediculousness of the emo cultue, believe it or not. Aside from the general definitons relating to graphic novels, television, art, etc. Someone who is manga is generally an awkward individual, with either bad hygene, low self-esteem, few friends, and a craving sense of individulity. In some cases they will resemble all of the above. This term is generally used to define the individuals over the age of 13 that continue to enjoy pokemon and sailor moon. As far as the manga children go, we can't have hopes too high in the field of literacy, considering a graphic novel takes less then an afternoon to read, though i will admit it does take skill to follow a series of speech bubbles and caption boxes.
