I've been reading a manga and there was a sentence:

> 無駄にコマから出てくるな

Can someone tell me what does it mean?

question
meaning slang
what does 無駄にコマから出てくるな mean?
As the question still is open, I'll try to answer it.

Your attempt,

> it's waste of illustration so don't show yourself.

is very much off.

  1. This is the 'pensive' or 'monologue' な, not the imperative な

    * On second thought, this is debatable. I originally took the sentence to be something the mangaka wrote, criticising his/her own style.
  2. コマ means 'frame (of a comic)'

  3. This is the particle から ('from'), not 〜だから ('because')

  4. Do check the dictionary for 出る (and/or 出てくる). Here it means 'to come out'

  5. 'Waste of xxx' is typically 「xxxの無駄」

無駄に, when used this way, means 'pointlessly' or 'for no purpose'

A correct answer would be (if we consider it to be the pensive な),

> [something] is coming out of the comic frame for no good reason

'Something' here, I presume, is referring to whatever is in the frame that is
sticking out.

If we take it as a command, it's

> Don't stick out of the comic for no reason!

answer
"Don't stick out of the frame pointlessly" or "Don't stick out of the frame so
much."
