         Hi Readers and Typers,   
      
   	The online servers that dish up our favorite manga   
   are now full of Chinese and Korean comics as well.   
      
   	Now if you are interested in manga to the exclusion of manhua   
   and manhwa here are some clues.   
      
   	The manhua usually have titles that make sense in English   
   though the translation in the comics may be just as bad as in the   
   worst translations from the Japanese.   
      
   	The manhwa is usually a web comic and some of the them   
   are pretty good and the title might make a little sense. The   
   published ones of which I have read a couple are often much   
   better.   
      
   	Manga don't seem to bother much with title translations   
   but usually the quality of the internal translation has greatly improved.   
      
   	While I love many manga very few manhwa are of interest   
   as the action moves too slowly for me.  These may be of   
   interest to others.   
      
   	So far I have seen only one manhua which comes up to   
   manga standards and it has been quiet for some time with no   
   new chapters out.  It is about a dojinshi circle and a   
   bookstore.   
   	   
   	So I try to avoid most manhua which seems to be flooding   
   the online servers.
