It's been bothering me...

Is the plural for manga "manga" or "mangas?" Seen it both ways, don't know if there's a "correct" version or not. *sigh* I hate it when odd things get stuck in my head like that.

*waves* Hi. Was just wandering around LJ and found you. Hope you don't mind me putting in my two yen...

The answer would be, "manga." One manga. Two manga. Three manga.

The act of placing an "s" behind the word is an English thing to pluralize. Not done in Japanese. ^__^

*laugh* I was in Border Express yesterday and they had a sign that said something like "Do not read mangas before purchasing"...this is the kind of thing that makes me unconsciously use "mangas" as the plural...
