explanation: Manga has become now an international term. "Man" means "comfortable" or "funny" while "ga" means "picture". Manag should probably have originated from "ukiyoe" of Edo period; Though the treated subjects were quite different, a boom of ukiyoe had allowed Japanese public to get pictures they love with a reasonable price.
