Before we get into the meat of the matter, here are some sample pictures
of the said literary genres that I need to distinguish and compare.

Doodle
Fiction

Manga

Graphic
Novel
The Differences Between Doodle Fiction, Manga,

and Graphic Novel

First and foremost, their meanings must be distinguished. Doodle fiction is
a type of fiction in which the text appears to be handwritten. Instead of
using a traditional font style, the author uses doodles and handwritten
visuals. Whereas “manga” is the Japanese term for a comic. It is
categorized as a graphic novel and is written or read from right to left. It is
also read from top to bottom when reading the panels. Finally, a graphic
novel is a story delivered in comic book form and a book. Fiction,
nonfiction, history, fantasy, and everything in between are all acceptable.
The primary distinction between them is how we read them, the
structure of a book, and its art style. Because we generally read
from left to right and that’s how our books and comics are
supposed to be, but manga isn’t like that because they read and
open a book or manga from right to left. It is the polar opposite
of graphic novels, which we read left to right, and longer comic
stories. Doodle fiction, on the other hand, is a scribbled graphic
that portrays the stories. Manga and graphic novels use panels
in their artwork, but doodle fiction does not. The art style of
doodle fiction is aesthetic doodling, which implies that it has
handwriting as well as text, as we can see in the image. Panels
appear in both manga and graphic novels, but the way they are
drawn is different. Because graphic novels have a lot of color
and a more Americanized art style when it comes to
drawingcomic books. Unlike manga, which is black and white or
lacks color, and the Japanese art style, which is
based on tradition, culture, behavior, the
environment, and other factors. The other two,
on the other hand, could be from anywhere.
There are numerous
distinctions between the
three. When it comes to
speech bubbles, graphic
novels or other comics use
forceful or excessive bubble
lines, and their SFX
background uses a lot of
varies colors. It is the polar
opposite of manga in that it
is black and white, therefore
they organized it so that it
could be read constantly and
orderly.
There are no unnecessary lines
or drawings, and the text is not
as large as it would be in a
graphic novel or other comic.
Doodle fiction is a type of book
narration where it show both
text and image but in a way like
articles unlike those two. Full
color is only used in manga on
rare occasions, such as when the
author (Mangaka is called for a
manga artist in Japanese) is
celebrating an anniversary, a
new volume, the front page, or
another special
event but it is 1 to 3
pages only. However,
the overall book are
black and white.
The Similarities Between Doodle Fiction, Manga,

and Graphic Novel

These three, doodle fiction, manga, and graphic novels, have a lot in
common in that they all use drawing, images, and graphics to convey
stories. These are other literary genres from the twenty-first (21st)
century that use digital or conventional art. Along with the words or
text that are written in the book, there are pictures or images to
visualize what’s happening in the story. They could differ in terms of
art, font size, color, text organization, and so on. However, they are
very similar at the same time.

Conclusion:
To summarize, doodle fiction, manga, and graphic novels share
many similarities and differences, but their primary goal is to
entertain us, the readers, through reading and enjoying their
works. They may differ in terms of art style, structure, elements,
and so on. This is just them and what they used to be. They are
similar in terms of goals and how they present their own work.
 Thank You!

you get to a bad chapter, you don’t stop reading the book! If you do… then you
never get to find out what happens next!"
