Manga or "to do a
Mange" is a word that can describe a comic situation which usually, but not exclusively can happen during the influence of alcohol and/or drugs etc.
For a classic Mange situation we need to go back to the roots, to a dark and
chilly night in
Stockholm, Sweden 2016.
Example:
Step 1: Get so drunk that you forget what the time is and miss your train home.
Step 2: Convince a colleague/friend that you can crash at their place.
Step 3: The friend sends an SMS with the address, code for the gate, floor number and promise to leave the front door open and put a blanket on the sofa.
Step 4: Go to the above mentioned address and pass out on the sofa.
Step 5: Wake up in the morning and pat the head of the little girl who is standing next to you and wondering who you are.
Step 6: Quickly think that your friend is a great guy who is babysitting a child so early in the morning then
go back to sleep.
Step 7:
Wake-up by a massive dude standing above you in his underwear wondering who the F**K you are and why you are in his sofa.
Step 8: Sober up, fast!
Step 9: Quickly realise that you by accident have walked into a strangers apartment. Same floor, same Surname on the door, unlocked door, same address but different gate, for which the code worked for.
Step 10:
Get the hell out of dodge without sustaining any injuries or before the police arrive on the scene.
Step 11: Become a legend at work the day after having done a
Mange / Manga / To do a Mange

1. A Japanese word that means comic or cartoon.
2. Outside of Japan it is used as a term for Japanese
comics.
Comics that were originally published in Japan, for Japanese audiences.
The topics and styles in
Manga are numerous. With stories for the very young, to stories for the very old. There can be as many different styles as there are artists. Manga is not a style from Japan, because there are Japanese artists that do break the typical
manga style, yet they are still drawing Manga.
Japanese Manga is
redundant unless you are
speaking Japanese.
Manga can not be made in the United States, as that would be misusing the term.
There can be comics made outside of Japan that has heavy influence from Manga, but they would be comics, not Manga.
Manga-style, Manga-influenced, and Pseudo-manga can be used to describe such works made outside of Japan.
Example:
That
manga was fun to read, and the art was awesome.
Manga sucks because it's
black and white.
Them Japanese sure like to draw
thems manga with us white folks in em, don't they?
It's 3am and I have class in five hours, but I can't stop reading this manga.

Noun. Either Spanish for mango, or a Japanese-style comic book. (Go to mango for more info on the first definition.) Manga is a Japanese-style comic book, (Like I said earlier.) Manga has grown lots of fans in Japan, U.S.A., Europe, and other countries. It has 2 basic styles,
Shoujo and
Shounen. Shoujo is the girly, romantic, comedy types, like
Fruits Basket or
Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama. Shounen is the action, violentish types, like Dragon Ball and Naruto. There are 2 ways to read it: Translated (The Japanese words are translated to your language) or Raw (No edits, the original Japanese thing). Manga is commonly black and white, sometimes with color pages. A manga story is divided into chapters. Every chapter comes out each week. A group of chapters in one book is a volume. Manga has evolved into anime, a animated version of the story. (See anime for more info about it)

I just want to point out that Manga is not Japanese
comic books in general. It's a common misconception. Manga is actually the style in which the different kinds of comic books are made. For Example: It is actually just
Shonen, not Shonen Manga. That would be saying that the
artwork was meant for boys ages 12-18. It is only considered Shonen. Remember, Manga is only the art style used. I wouldn't be surprised if none of you knew this.
Example:
"
And they say I'm not -The
Omega Master. Now, I have make some comics with
Briana's manga style artwork."-The Omega Master
