A Japan-based style of art, often used in comics or cartoons.
The cartoons of this variety are often called Animé.
Manga drawings are often recognized by rather large eyes, small noses, and spiky-looking hairdo's.
A combination of above with any of the characteristics left out is not out of the question, however; there are also Manga characters that do <i>not</i> have eyes that take up half a person's skull.

Manga is the japanese word which, more or less, refers to any illustrated story, but now is directed more or less towards comics only.
The real version of manga can be used to refer to moving pictures as well.
