>>152327167BDs are simply collections. A single title or adventure that has been collected in a volume so you don't have to hunt down individual floppies or newspapers. They can be paperback or hardcover.So when frogs say "BD sales" you should interpret it as "TPB sales".

>>152327167They all mean the same thing.
>>152327167Comics are woke slop, manga and bande dessinees are coom slop, graphic novels are pretentious slop.

>>152327167We're talking from an english-language POV soComics is a general mediumBande-desinee is comics from franceManga is comics from japan and also often people use it (wrongly imo) for comics from elsewhere trying to mimic comics from japanGraphic novels is a term that kinda intends to be "the comic medium but more serious and without a name that implies comedy" but by now mostly just means "it's a self-contained singular long form book"
