They are the same only anime is an animation, manga is in book form.

Most anime is based off a manga.

Manga is only for comics and books. Animes are the cartoon-show forms of mangas.

just like everyone's been saying. Manga= japanese comics, Anime= animation based off of the Manga. Watch out, though, because people from japan call ALL animation anime, whether it's Naruto or Family Guy, etc. When talking with a Japanese person, be sure specify JAPANESE anime, if that's what you're talking about! It's all b/c anime is actually short for animation...as in, the Japanese have borrowed some of our words, just like us english-speakers do. I hope this info helps!
