Original English-language manga

An original English-language manga or OEL manga is a comic book or graphic novel drawn in the style of manga and originally published in English.^[1] The term "international manga", as used by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, encompasses all foreign comics which draw inspiration from the "form of presentation and expression" found in Japanese manga.^[2] This may also apply to manga-inspired comics made in other languages.
