About

The word "漫画" is formed by combining the character "漫", which conveys meanings such as casual, free, or unrestrained, with the character "画", which means drawing or picture. This combination results in a compound word that literally translates to "casual drawings", directly describing a form of visual art that is spontaneous or informal, and which in modern usage specifically denotes comics or cartoons.
