Noun

manhwa (plural manhwas or manhwa)

1. (comics) A Korean comic.
   • 2004, Christopher Hart, Manhwa Mania: How to Draw Korean Comics, Watson-Guptill Publications (2004), ?ISBN, page 7:

     In fact, many manga fans don't realize that their favorite comics — such as Priest, Ragnarock, and Island — are actually Korean manhwa!

   • 2007, Jason Thompson, Manga: The Complete Guide, Del Rey (2007), ?ISBN, unnumbered page:

     Since the Korean language reads left to right (unlike Chinese and Japanese), manhwa are printed left to right in the same format as English books.

   • 2008, Mark James Russell, Pop Goes Korea: Behind the Revolution in Movies, Music, and Internet Culture, Stone Bridge Press (2008), ?ISBN, unnumbered page:

     As the best Japanese titles were mined, the American companies began to look for alternatives, and Tokyopop's founder Stuart Levy already had a budding interest in Korean manhwa.
