Summary/Abstract: Decodifying Japanese Onomatopoeia: A Study Case of Laughter in the Comic Book Kamisama Hajimemashita. This article explores the possibility of translating Japanese onomatopoeia used as role language markers, from Japanese (source language) into Romanian (target language). The study case is conducted on a Japanese comic book (manga), analysed in terms of pragmatic sense conveyed through a multimodal text – various semiotic systems (verbal, images, layout, etc.) that interact and produce a coherent meaning.
