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.
kouryuuxfighterI think it is a stupid question too.

^^;;; 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.

japanese pronounciation ma is like the ma in grandma. ga is like the g sound in gas. so it is mahn-gah
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.
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.
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 ,,
darksangel^^;;; Yeah, that's how I pronounce it.

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"

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.
