For those who don't know whats manhua, its basically chinese comics. The manhua I enjoyed is Storm Riders from Ma Wing Shing and Cyberweapon Z from Andy Seto. Great art and some panels are render in painting.
What are some Manhua you enjoyed? |

Most of the popular manhua that I've read were animanga--or whatever term you would like to invent to refer to the Chinese equivalent of a comic book assembled by various cropped cels from the animated show. They were enjoyable, but given that they weren't really designed to be show on a page, there was always something off about the frames.
The one manhua I really read is Old Master Q. Actually, I don't think I can name any others, unless you include 小人书 (xiaorenshu, literally book of little people), of which I read and enjoyed Journey to the West (also read Water Margin but didn't like it, so I never finished or paid much attention). That differs rather greatly from manga and comics, though, as the traditional xiaorenshu consists of a series of illustrations with captions to tell the story, rather than with speech bubbles. It was also a bit before my time: My older cousins had a good stores of those, but when I was in school, they were mostly pushed out in favor of manga, most notable of which being Doraemon and Saint Seiya. |

There is an interesting article entitled "Does Hong Kong Comics Have Anything Other than Kung Fu?". I thought I should point this out for anybody interested. Hopefully, the Hong Kong comic industry would offer some diversity in the near future...

Andy Seto drew to a good adaptation of King of fighters, King of fighters Zillion
You can try Ennemi to I think manhua style is more similar with comics than manga, did you agree? |

It really depends. Hong Kong martial artist themes are heavily influenced by superhero comics, but not with those "newer themes" (from HK's point of view) e.g. moe. That and most Taiwanese manhua are much more influenced by Japanese styles, but one still can tell the style difference. |

Thanks to the libray, I've read most of the manhua ComicsOneput out earlier this decade--Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, My Sassy Girl, Shaolin Soccer, Saint Legend, etc. They were, in fact, all kung-fu comics. None of them have made a lasting impression on me.

For a manhua that's not kung-fu, there's Real/Fake Princess, released by DrMaster. It's a historical drama about a girl who finds out that she is really a princess, and what ensues. It's angsty and dramatic and I really enjoyed it. Sure, parts of it weren't all that original. There's stuff like the melodramatically evil female love rival and the two hunky guys she's caught between, etc. But still, it's a fun read and I quite enjoyed it.
