whats the difference between shoujo and romance?. i mean shoujo is mostly romance right? so i dunt get it =/. and what's the difference between "manwah" and "manga". =/. i once read a manwah tht was the same direction as manga so im confused now >.<

Soujo is more of a demographic. It's romance aimed at girls. There's romance in Shounen and Seinen, but its a different kind of romance.

"Shoujo" just means that the original intended readership was girls. "Romance" refers to the plot. While most shoujo does have romance, not all of it does, and other genres (shounen = intended for boys, josei = intended for young women, etc.) may also have romance.

Manhwa is the Korean word for what the Japanese call "manga" & English speakers call "comics", so if it's "manhwa" it's from Korea. The direction it's read in can vary depending on whether the pages have been flopped (mirror-imaged) or not. Sometimes scanlation groups will use a different version to scan & translate from (maybe Spanish, German, etc.) rather than going from the original publication, so that can affect the direction of reading.

genres descriptions
Notice, that:
shoujo - means girl in japanese
shounen - boy
etc.
That's quite helpfull.

Still the bad cop.

Shoujo is targeted for female readers.
Like Skip Beat, it implies love but not that much love is seen.
Romance is romance (equals love)
