quick question: What is most japanese mangas written in, kanji,Hiragana or katakana? I mean the dialogues and so on, not sound effects.

It's all mixed.  Most adult manga will use kanji wherever it applies, while manga for younger audiences will more often use hiragana.  Katakana appears anytime these loanwords or just for emphasizing a part of their sentence.

Written Japanese usually has both most of the time.
Shounen manga and other stuff intended for younger/general audiences have furigana on the kanji.

Porn uses kanji + hiragana
Manga uses Kanji with furigana (pronounciation guide for the kanji) + hiragana

It's all written in English using the Latin and German alphabets.
