Is there a term for "manga language"?


The language used in manga often does not follow standard patterns. Is there a
term for this? Thank you.




My answer would probably disappoint you if you were expecting a short concrete
term as an answer such as 「〇〇[語]{ご}」 or 「〇〇[言葉]{ことば}」. Frankly, I doubt that
such a (short) term exists that would be universally understood.

The kind of language spoken by manga characters vastly differ from one manga
title to the next. Characters speak just like "regular" native speakers from
real life in some manga titles, and characters speak nowhere near like real
people in others. The point is that **among the latter group, a countless
number of speech patterns can be found**.

Thus, I could only come up with "explanatory phrases" rather than common terms
as;

「マンガで（よく）見{み}る / 聞{き}くような言葉 / 言葉[遣]{づか}い / 表現{ひょうげん}」

「マンガ的{てき}な / マンガみたいな / マンガっぽい言葉 / 言葉遣い / 表現」

Any of those word combinations will be understood by native speakers with no
problems.
