Chinese comics 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.
