Glossary of Japanese Words and Phrases used in Manga


Hello, manga lovers out there. When I first started reading manga I had a tough time getting to know what these Japanese terms meant and it somewhat detracted from my manga reading experience.
So to make sure everyone out there gets maximum enjoyment from their manga, I have listed some of the most frequently used terms and their meanings.
Also please remember that Japanese is a very context based language. So the sentence "He loves her" can easily be misinterpreted as "I love you". Hilarious misunderstandings therefore ensue XD.

Suffixes:

In Japan, the suffix you add to names indicates the relationship you have with the person. This is a VERY important part to remember when you read manga. Listed below are the suffixes you may come across.

-*no suffix*: Indicates you know that person intimately. Usually used between lovers ,very good friends, or family.

-chan: Cutesy way of calling someone. Usually for girls and sometimes for small boys.

-desu: Has no actual meaning. Indicates old style of talking.

-degozaru: Also has no actual meaning. Indicates old style of talking. (Usually you'll see ninjas and samurais use this term)

-dono: Similar to "-sama". Slightly old fashioned way of addressing someone.

-kun: Usually for boys. Rarely used for girls.

-sama: Formal usage. To indicate person has a higher status than you.

-san: Used generally for people you have an undefined relationship or a slightly formal relationship. Both men and women.

-tan: Babyish way of saying "-san"

-tama: Babyish way of saying "-sama"

Boku ni Natta Watashi Complete Manga Download

Title: Boku ni Natta Watashi, Secret Girl, I Became a Boy, Chica Secreta, Bokuninatta Watashi, A Girl or a Boy?, 僕になった私, 伪装男孩的我
Scanlator(s): Storm in Heaven
Genre(s) : Comedy, Drama, Gender Bender, Romance, School Life, Shoujo, Smut
Author : SHIMAKI Ako

Welcome to Momoko's waking nightmare. Things were settled. They were! She was SUPPOSED to have gone to a normal school, made normal friends, and led a blissfully normal life. But the universe is just cruelly, irredeemably, monstrously unfair, so instead she found herself thrown out of home, stuck in an all-boys boarding school with a roommate she hates, cursed with a hideous haircut and wearing clothes which, to be frank, she wouldn't be seen dead in.

And the only thing worse than her current situation is the one that she'll be in if anyone ever realizes that she is, in fact, a girl. Everything is wrong! Everything! Particularly the fact that, even though she's surrounded by amazingly gorgeous guys, her chances of romance are less than zero. But with life this complicated, something is bound to give. In fact, it just did. Damn.

This is a really sweet romantic comedy manga. The one-shots at the end of each volume are really sweet too . This is the only shoujo manga I've seen with a Shounen style artwork.
