First Paragraph

Hi, been reading a lot of articles about these traditional japanese sweets, and I have found this one to be the only one that I can not figure out what it actually is. I think the first paragraph is very vague and never actually describes the food directly. Especially this sentence: "They are boiled together again and kneaded." They who? What? Just a heads up I suppose, to someone that does know about this food. Eddie mars (talk) 15:23, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Title Change

I think the title and all uses of the word in [romaji] should be spelled "manjyu" with a "y". Or is there a historical precedent that prevents this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.233.176.38 (talk) 04:41, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm not aware of any system of Japanese romanization that would render じゅう as "jyu". Hepburn renders it as "jū" and Kunrei-shiki as "zyuu." English Wikipedia favors Hepburn, and the title of this article is definitely the correct Hepburn romanization of the word. Mtp85 (talk) 23:18, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Chinese also?

Aren't 饅頭 also Chinese steamed buns, eaten by the northern Chinese? There should be a disambiguation page about savoury 饅頭 and sweet 饅頭. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.199.110.226 (talk • contribs). 16 January 2005

There are already pages for both mantou and baozi on Wikipedia. This page should probably deal with how it came to Japan and how the Japanese variety differs from the Chinese version. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 141.149.238.17 (talk • contribs). 5 June 2005

Warlords cutting off heads

First of all the English doesn't make sense; second, lamb chops? Sounds like utter nonsense to me since lamb chops aren't eaten in Japan and presumably weren't in the past. I'm going to delete this stuff completely.--DannyWilde 23:25, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

Merger proposal

This proposal is not actually by me, but by User:Stevey7788. That person has suggested that the relatively new article Usukawa Manju be merged into this article on Manjū. The standard procedure is to have a discussion here, and if others agree to the merge, or there are no comments for 30 days, the merge can be done by Stevey or anyone else. Thanks. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 23:05, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

• Support - (ec) was just setting up the templates for the same reason. The new article appears to be a subtopic of this one, with little additional material, and should be merged. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 23:08, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
