i want to know if there's a way to know which are Manga, Manhwa, & Manhua?
sometimes there a way to the difference between manga and manhwa, like for me i see the author's name but its hard to do that for Manhua.

should there be a way to tell which is Manga, Manhwa, or Manhua, unless there's a way can someone tell me?
If not then how about add colors for these 3 types. like Manga can be Red or blue, Manhwa be Purple, & Manhua green. 😳

-manga 90% of the content

manhwa and manhua take a look the name of the artist :
-if it's a three part name like HYUNG Min-Woo then it's a manhwa
(I won't deal the problem of knowing if corean artist published and edited in japan are manha or manga.... Except Island and Shin Angyo I don't know other case like this)

-manhua : not so much of it in the database ....but most of the time it deals with subject like the 3 kingdoms ,chinese legends ,ec.... related to history of China and otherwise the name of the artist just looks different : their names are shorter y and gernerally there are more y g u and o than in the name of their japanese counterpart.
It's quite obvious once you have seen a couple of japanese , corean and chinese names.

It has been suggested many times.

We should wait for an answer in one of the previous threads.
For now, there is no way to tell them apart other than checking the mangaka/artist's name.
