How to Draw Manga: Episode 5 - What is Manga?

Keyeske explains the difference between Manga, Anime and Illustration. Here are some major points in this video:

Drawing pictures are Illustration
Anime is short for Animation
Manga is a Japanese term for Comic Book

Manga as a art style is not the true term. Japanese call manga art style an Illustration, not Manga. How to draw Manga involves all aspects of making a comic book. Anime falls in this as well. Manga Involves panels, dialogue, story, sequences etc, and anime involves animation of story, dialogue and sequences. An Illustration is just a picture like the one you see in the video. Why else would the japanese comic books you buy at the store are called Mangas?
