Absolute Anime

Okay I've heard and read a lot of different things so bear that in mind before reading this and don't hate me for asking stupid questions but this is driving me crazy!
(To avoid confusion, I shall not be refering to manga or Manwah as Manga or Manwah. They will be called graphic novels until other wise stated)
Okay Are Graphic novels produced and created in Korea refered to as Manga or Manwah? I have read many different peoples opinions on the subject but have not received a deffinitive answer.
Also, If a Manga is translated into Korean in Korea, for Koreans to read is it still called a Manga or is the term Manga translated to Manwah or left as it is? As well I would like to know if a Korean graphic novel, produced and made in Korean and then brought over here,(canada,us) ("Demon Diary" or "Under the Glass Moon") is it refered to as Manwah because that is the word they use for Manga, or is it a Manga because that is the style they have used? I'm so confused. People are so missleading I can't get a straight answer anywhere. Please help?

my bro has some manga, and you read them right to left. when i first read em, i read em left to right. REALLY confusing during the fight scenes.

Um.. is Manwah the actual word for manga, or is it just the way their accent makes it sound? (Sorreh kinda restating it there a bit x_x; ) Cause if its the latter of the two.. then it could be something like the english L sound in the Japanese language, said differently but its still written the same.... Otherwise I dunno.. o.o;

Manga ( 漫画　）is the Japanese word for comics.

Manhwa ( 만화 ) is the Korean word for comics.

So if Manga from Japan goets translated into Korean, the Koreans call it manhwa, because it is a comic book. If manhwa gets translated into Japanese the Japanese call it manga, for the same reason.

Even if a Japanese person picks up an untranslated manhwa they will still call it manga, becuase manga is the Japanese word for comics. Same the other way around.

It's simple, really.
