I can be altruistic. when it suits me.

Basically,

Manga is the japanese word for "comics" or graphic novel.

Anime' is the word used to describe japanese animation.

That said, "Manga" usually reffers to japanese graphic novels, with their inherited and unuique style & vision.

 One could argue that "Anime" is animated-manga.

chk out wikipedia on both:

Hope this helps!

I was late for work this morning, because I got stuck in Zeno's paradox

Manga:  a type of  Japanese comic book, on paper, completely still, no animation or sound added.

Anime: a Japanese TV cartoon,  with animation and sound .

Both manga and anime have been developed to the point of being an art  form

Manga is Japanese for  "comics" and anime is a Japanese loanword (AKA the sound is taken and transcribed into the Japanese syllabary) for "animation."  In the USA, manga is usually Japanese comics. Likewise, anime is regarded as Japanese cartoons, like Yuu Yuu Hakusho, Spirited Away, Full Metal Alchemist, etc.  Most of the time, anime is the "animated" version of the manga.
