.htaccess - How it works: Htaccess Rewrite Engine? -

i have next .htaccess file:

options +followsymlinks rewriteengine on rewriterule ^mangas/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ - [f,l] rewriterule ^mangas/([^/]+)/$ - [f,l] rewriterule ^mangas(/?)$ - [f,l] rewriterule ^([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/([0-9]+)(/?)$ index.php?manga=$1&chapter=$2&page=$3 [l] rewriterule ^([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)(/?)$ index.php?manga=$1&chapter=$2 [l] rewriterule ^([^/.]+)(/?)$ index.php?manga=$1 [l]

but happens when go link following: /manga/name_of_manga gives me 404 not found error. htaccess file not rewriting index.php?manga=$1 this: /manga/name_of_manga ?

basically, in form of index.php?manga=$1 converted /manga/name_of_manga , should still display stuff. if go straight using index.php method, works fine.

for example, these work: http://neoblizz.net/manga/?manga=tower%20of%20god http://neoblizz.net/manga/index.php?manga=tower%20of%20god

these don't: http://neoblizz.net/manga/tower_of_god/ http://neoblizz.net/manga/tower%20of%20god/

have way:

options +followsymlinks rewriteengine on rewritebase /manga/ rewritecond %{request_filename} -d [or] rewritecond %{request_filename} -f rewriterule ^ - [l] rewriterule ^mangas/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ - [f,l] rewriterule ^mangas/([^/]+)/?$ - [f,l] rewriterule ^mangas/?$ - [f,l] rewriterule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?comic=$1&chapter=$2&page=$3 [l,qsa] rewriterule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?comic=$1&chapter=$2 [l,qsa] rewriterule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?comic=$1 [l,qsa]
