noun

Explanation

A manga genius! For some reason, this is a comic dialogue or two man comedy. Look up "manzai" on YouTube for some good times if you don't know what this is. It's not exactly the same, but DOES refer to manga, which is a type of comic book. Take the "comic" part from "comic" book, then change it to the "haha funny!" meaning of "comic," and then imagine people doing a dialogue. Then, you have a comic dialogue. Lots of steps, but hopefully it'll get you there.
