Differences in Terms of Structure
Doodle Fiction. Literary presentation where the author incorporates doodle writing, drawings and handwritten graphics in place of the traditional font.
Manga. It is used in the English–speaking word as a generic term for all comic books and graphic novels originally published in Japan.
Graphic Novel. Narrative work in which the story is conveyed to the reader using a comic form.
Answer:
The big similarity between doodle fiction, manga, and graphic novels is that they are all ‘illustrated narratives’, they use a combination of pictures/images and text/words to tell the story.
Doodle fiction is a newer or more recent format popularised by “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” by Jeff Kinney[1]. Doodle fiction is styled to look like handwritten text with hand-drawn images - that add a spot of humour to the text. Doodle fiction is more text heavy than manga and graphic novels, and closer to prose fiction than comics in format.
Manga is Japanese comic books or graphic novels. Very image oriented, with traditional or digital art/illustrations. Usually, but not always published in black and white as opposed to colour. Think “One Piece” or “Naruto”. The major definable difference here is that this content is read right to left, compared to the Western approach of left to right.
Graphic novels are simply long form comic books. Typically more than 40 pages in length, and usually a self-contained story/narrative. Examples: “Awkward” or “Bridgeland: Vol. 1”. For comparison, comic books/comics are serialised in nature, around 20 - 22 pages, sold as single issues, think the typical fare from DC, Marvel, Image etc. Can be packaged as Trade Paperbacks (TPBs) where story arcs that were initially published as single issues are collected into a single publication. Think “Infinity Gauntlet” or “Batman: The Killing Joke”.
