Graphic Novel, Manga, and Doodle Fiction
Ever since I’ve entered my high school life, my hunger for reading has emerged, big time! There were these romance stories that always get me hooked and the thrillers that make me curious as ever. Yes! those fictional stories that always statisfy my creative imagination and my high standard love for them.
I’ve always dreamt of seeing a story with illustrations so it will be easier for me to visualize the scenes specially if it is more of an action story. This was the time that I was new and haven’t introduced to anything yet. Fortunately, I’ve known manga from my friends and I actually enjoyed it.
With the help of our lesson in 21st Century Literature from the Philippines and the World, I have acquired further understanding about the genres of my beloved literary works.
I was actually kind of delighted after seeing that manga was a part of our lesson! Reading such masterpiece is one of my hobbies that’s why. It’s almost the same with graphic novel and doodle fiction! They’re all using illustrations in conveying the story. Pretty awesome right?
There’s more! Manga and grapic novel was really kind of alike in many ways! The only thing that hinders it is that, manga is a term for all comic books and graphic novels that were originally published in Japan. Yes, they’re both in a comic book format.
Doodle fiction on the other hand, isn’t a comic. It only incorporates doodle writing, drawings and handwritten graphics in place of the traditional font. One of its examples include “The diary of a Wimpy Kid” by Jeff Kinney. Kindly check it if you have time! It’s beautifully made!
The three of them are really helpful if you’re one of those who enjoys seeing visuals while understanding a certain story!
