Anime is the Japanese word for "Animation", and are watched in movies and TV shows. Anime is a type of manga.

Manga is the Japanese word for "comic", although people call them "graphic novels". A lot of comics are manga style.

Most people like to refer "anime" and "manga" as "Japanese animation" and "Japanese comic".

Just for future reference, the words "anime" and "manga" are both singular and plural.

You can tell a manga apart from a comic because manga is read left to right, how some Japanese stories are written as.

Summed up, the difference between anime and manga is that manga is on paper and anime is manga on television.
Manga are the printed black and white comics. Anime almost always come after manga, based on its stories. Often anime will take its own direction, taking liberties with the manga's plot line and characters, sometimes creating totally original content. Manga is in comic form. Anime is a television or cartoon series.

Whats the difference between anime and manga?

Well, nothing much however anime's are usually the shows, and manga are the comic books. Added: Heartofsouls However, the anime is not always the same as the manga. Since anime's take a lot of time and money to make the manga writer and production team of the anime must come to an agreement. Manga's are usually long so not everything written in it will be translated into the anime since there are only a certain number of episodes given based upon its popularity or the production companies view on it, yet if the first set of episodes are well received then another season may be added. An example where anime doesn't follow the manga can be seen with the Rosario + Vampire Series. In the anime they altered many of the good scenes where the main char. Tsukune Aono defeats the enemies due to Moka giving him her blood (power), instead Moka defeats the enemies in the anime and his vampire scenes were cut off which is the main plot in the overall manga.
