Hentai vs. Manga
 
What is the difference? I have seen samples of both, and they look the same. Is this just two different names for the same thing?

Hentai is pics.
Manga is comics.

I always thought Manga was the gerne, and hentai was the porn part of it. *shrugs*

as far as I've been told it works like this:
Manga is just a clever word that lets you know that it is most likely a japanese comic - or at least looks like one. Traditionally read from right to left. You know, for fun.

Hentai aparently is derived from a word in japanese similiar to our word for pervert. So you can be a hentai - which you probably are. :)
"Hentai" just lets you know that the picture you're about to see is going to be a) a drawing of japanese style and b)nude in some fasion.

Manga is a general term for any Japanese comics.

Marburg is right with hentai = "pervert"... it's just a word people use to describe any form of pornography (picture, comic, animation, game, etc.) done in the style of Japanese cartoons.

Taking into consideration the cultural references and not actual hard-nosed definitions:

Manga - anime comics, both general audience and adult
Hentai - anime erotica, both animated and not

so you have have hentai manga or just plain ol' manga
