Manga words and remarks(漫画言葉/マンガオタクへ)
This topic might be interesting because I am interested in it by myself.
Firstly, I assume a lot of foreigners believe remarks of manga are proper Japanese language.
The answer is absolutely “No” in my opinion. This is why manga is manga. There are a ton of creative words from manga these days.
Secondly, this is a story about my experience while living in Berlin. I had a German female colleague in Germany before. A far as I know, Germans are the one of the skilfully linguistic people, and many of them love Japan such as culture and language.
In terms of her Japanese, She has studied the language since she was 12 years of the age. Her Japanese is excellent. I think she is one of the best people who understands Japanese almost perfectly I have ever met. She is the female who really wants to be Japanese.
I faced something wrong one day all of a sudden .
At that time, we greeted each other at work. I asked her “ 元気?(How are you?). Afterwards she answered “うん、君は?(Yes, and you?). I was panicked at the moment. I asked myself about “君は…?”. Because I have never heard about 君は? from anyone in Japan.
I consequently figured out that she always loved manga. She has studied Japanese from manga by herself since the age 12 years. Since then, I have met two types of people learning Japanese, either manga maniacs or not.
In conclusion, If you are a nerd, you are supposed to be careful to use manga remarks in speaking and writing in order to communicate with some.
I hope it is a good tip for you.

Hi, Diana. I am sure you can use them. I meant it would be better to know that manganese words would not expect proper in Japan. Japanese people are so friendly, and like to talk to you in Japanese. Furthermore, Japanese people are not picky. You can fix your words, if you want after that if someone corrects your speaking. If not, you can use it onwards. Reading novels and news are good sources to study.

I personally pick up a lot of words watching anime and reading light novels in Japanese and that's one of the things I'm always worried about. I know that that type of Japanese used there is not 'normal' but I'm unable to distinguish normal Japanese from manga Japanese. For this reason I'm sometimes hesitant to use certain words since I'm not sure if they are manga Japanese or not. Any suggestions/resources out there to learn to distinguish them?

Hello again, Akera. I wrote about my experience on the article. A lot of Japanese people like western culture and appreciate that you like manga an anime a lot in general.
Actually, I do not really mind whether or not some like Japan.Unfortunately, I did not mention stereotypes here. Talking about stereotypes is huge. I can not deal with it here.
I pointed out that manga words were not Japanese. It was sort of a tip when studying Japanese.
I thank you for sharing your opinion. I lived in Germany before, so I know how popular Japan is in Germany, haha.

Hello Shin, thank you for the answer :) Ah... how true, you were talking about hasty ideas, and fiction mistaken for reality, and I reply with stupid stereotypes. But stereotypes can be relevant, too; as long as people don't get in contact with a certain different culture, this is what will influence them strongly. The above is not my own idea, it's just what I've grown up with here in Germany (just to confirm what you mentioned in your text). Exploring what people think about other countries is actually something that I find interesting (, or what they think about their own country). As for Japan, personally, I know enough by know so that I know that I know nothing at all. It might take some decades before I try to come up with any opinion or interpretation of my own^^
