Est-elle ainsi la vie ?  

[xX Catgirl - Pierce Xx]

UM... say what ??? O_O

Sorry, "C'est la vie" is pretty much ALL I know ^^;  

[Ravinsblood666]

'Is it thus the life?' is what it translates as, What I had wanted it to say was "Is it really the life?", but babelfish only has rough translations. It likes making me sound like someone from romeo and juliet...  

[purpleravenhawk]

You know, folks, there's murder a-plenty in fantasy and manga too. stare  

[xwhateverxdudex]

I LOVE MANGA TOO !!!

LOL

Though I think I'm missing the connection here o_O  

[purpleravenhawk]

Well, Ravin said that she read manga and fantasy cuz she didn't like murder and stuff. xp  

[xwhateverxdudex]

Oh, ok.

I don't remember THAT statement in this thread.

But it's very true... ALOT of death in manga too ^^;  

[Shu-Yin-Yoh]

I like all kinds of stuff, but sure I have quite the manga collection, but I also have real books and enjoy them too. It just depends on my mood.

Thank you Purple I was about to say the same thing.

Well I say enjoy your book and relax the way you like to cause only you know how to relax.  

[xwhateverxdudex]

What you talk'n bout !?! >.>

Manga ARE real books >.<  

[Tybarious]

really? I thought they were comic books  

[purpleravenhawk]

She means the difference between comics and novels. Both books, two different kinds.  

[Moonracer]

*nods* Thank you purple. Exactly! Thank you Purple I couldn't have put it any better if I tried.

Dude: No, I'm not dissing on Manga I enjoy a good manga, but I was just saying I have both kinds, and enjoy them both but at different times.  

[xwhateverxdudex]

A better term is "Graphic Novel" ^.^
For manga anyway. (or comic collection books)

Unless you're talking about one of those old style...
20-ish page paper-backs.
THE original comic book for like 25 cents ^.^
(or whatever it cost then)  

[Moonracer]

*shrugs* Depends I have various styles of Manga. I have the typical manga and I have the novel manga, yet "graphic novel" will accurately cover both of them.

As for comic books...I still have those too from various series and a few that are worth some cash. *shrugs* So really I have a bit of everything and enjoy a lot of things. As for their cost...it depends on who you're talking about and when you're talking about they ranged, I believe, anywhere from 5 cents to 1.50 I think it was...at least the last one I picked up with out it being a collectors edition and all.

And that rate is including back in the day not like in my life time. *laughs*

Dude, are you actually arguing against using an original term? xd Regardless of the word "comic," it's still a valid term. They still call comic strips the same thing, even the ones that aren't meant to be funny. What else would we call them, drama strips? Graphic strips? I think "comic book" is still okay, considering how it's come to mean a broader group than it used to. Nothing wrong with "graphic novel," but nothing wrong with "comic book" either.
