@Gott-ist-cool yes, there is a difference manga is the traditional Japanese style graphic novel. Manga also sticks to the plot and there are very few filler arc chapters. Anime are the TV shows which usually have lots of filler arc episodes and change the story slightly. PS: filler arc episodes are just extra episodes in a tv series to stall for time.
