Nomenclature

They are also known as franga, manga français and global manga (the latter a more general term that includes other Western manga-inspired comics).

Characteristics

Most Manfra, such as Radiant, Dreamland, Dofus, Debaser, etc. have a format similar to that of manga, but can be read left-to-right, such as with Wakfu, or right-to-left, such as with Radiant. Most if not all of the works that are generally designated as Manfra have an art style inspired by manga. Some Manfra, such as La Rose Ecarlate, have an art style inspired from manga while still being read left-to-right and having a hardcover bande dessinee format. Their stories sometimes reference those of manga as well.
