Doodle Fiction, Manga and Graphic Novel.

Differences:

Doodle Fiction:

  • Literary presentation where the author incorporates doodle writing and drawings and handwritten graphichs in the place of traditional font.
  • Drawing enhances the story, often adding humorous elements.
  • Examples include The Diary of a Wimpy kid by Jeff Kinney and Timmy Failure by Stephan Pastis.

Manga:

  • Japanese word for comics.
  • It is used in the English-speaking world as a generic term for all comic books and graphic novels originally published in Japan.

Graphic Novel:

  • Narrative in comic book formats.
  • Narative work in which the story is conveyed to the reader using a comic form.
  • The term is employed broadly manner, emcompassing non-fiction works and thematically linked short stories as well as fictional stories across a number of genres.
  • Archie Comics by John Goldwater and illustrator, Bob Montana, is a good example.

Similarities:

All of these genres incorporate drawings, illustration, or graphics in telling a story. This is just basic definition of each of the genre. Doodle Fictions use doodles for a more humorous and/or engaging effect, while both of the Manga and Graphic Novels use a comic book style.
