  @cstross The microgenre that interests me is the SF one involving intelligent monkeys.
  But they're so violent! You've got you Hit-Monkey, you've got your Ack-Ack Macacque - why does no one ever do one where the monkeys are trained to so, y'know, peaceful and productive stuff.

  They name it the Manti-core.

The size and shape of manti vary significantly depending on geographic location.Manti resemble the Chinese jiaozi and baozi, Korean mandu, Mongolian buuz and the Tibetan momo. The dish's name is cognate with Chinese mantou, Korean mandu, and Japanese manjū, though the modern Chinese and Japanese counterparts mostly refer to different dishes.The name, depending on the language, can refer to a single dumpling or to more than one dumpling at a time; in English, it is often used as both a singular and plural form.
