This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.

While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.

I am sorry if I am asking a stupid question, but I heard it pronounced as 'man-ga' (like 'man' from 'human') and 'mon-ga' (like 'mon' from 'monster'). I have been wondering which one is correct. I pronounce it as 'mon-ga', so I don't know if I'm right or not.

I think it is a stupid question too.
And I think you should have asked this question on the manga forum but whatever. It is pronounced: "man-ga"
"man" is pronounced like "mon" from "monster" and "ga" like "go" in "god"

That is the true, Japanese way of pronouncing it and since "manga" is a Japanese word, it is indisputable. If you think otherwise, try pronouncing it any other way in Japan. I'm sure you would love to see the Japanese laugh at your broken accent.

^^;;; Yeah, that's how I pronounce it.

Sorry, it's just that I have always pronounced it like that, but a couple people with me argued that it's the other way! I hate pronouncing things wrong, so I needed to ask. Also, I didn't feel as if this belongs in the manga forum, because I am not discussing any particular manga.

I'm new here, so I'm sorry.

Yup, that's the way I pronounce it. Moreover, italian has no difference between the way you write a word and how you pronounce it, so the pronounce is like should be in japanese.

If it's in Japanese, it's pronounced man(the a pronounced as in 'martini', but replacing the 'r' with an 'n' and omitting the 'tini'.) -ga( like saying 'gun' but omitting the 'n'.)
So it's man-ga. My friends had difficulties too, some time. Some of us would pronounce it mang-ga, which is mango in our native language.

I know that is should pronounced man-ga ,,
but i always pronounced it mang-a ,,*ng pronounced like ng in long ,,

because if I pronounced man-ga,,
that has a same pronounciation like "mangga" *which means mango ,,
so i prefer pronounced it mang-a than man-ga ,, even I know how to pronounced it ,,

I think its pronounced "m-ah-n-ga. just follow it like the japanese script so pronounce the "ma" character first then the "n" character followed by the "ga" character. treat every character as its own seperate word then mash them together to make the word.

No need to be sorry. Since you're new here it won't really matter. I guess this topic works in this this forums as well.

But I'm glad you pronounce it the way I do (the right way). And if anyone else tells you otherwise, they are wrong.

It's surprising to see how many people pronounce it incorrectly.
For the second time, It is pronounced: "man-ga"
"man" is pronounced like "mon" from "monster" and "ga" like "go" in "god"

The correct way to pronounce it is:

Man-ga (Ma-n-ga), thats how the japanese characters work out. Lots of people do call it mang-ga though, I do when i'm lazy.
