Manhua (traditional Chinese: 漫畫; simplified Chinese: 漫画; pinyin: mànhuà) are Chinese-language comics produced in Greater China. Chinese comics and narrated illustrations have existed in China throughout its history.
They are usually graphic and can be written for a myriad of genres, including romance, fantasy, historical, thrillers, paranormal and horror. The storylines are varied but could include troupes and plotlines common to Asian culture and settings. 
There's no fixed word count for a manhua, but each panel could contain an average of 30 words and about 90 words per page, though this may vary widely. Depending on the writer and the manhua's popularity, it could have one or several issues and can be published digitally or in a printed form.
