While it can be argued that they could be called "literature", some argue that not all comics can be categorized here, especially the ones that don't really contain text. So as they started with the "manga" category it was easier to leave it as that. | |

| Jul 20, 2018 at 7:26 | comment | added | Hakase | This is just how they decided to group the items in their database for easier /better/more obvious discovery/(whatever other reasons they thought of). This site is not a discussion forum though, we only answer questions. Discussion is not held here on the main site proper. But you can join chat and talk to users there. | |
