There were different kinds of 21st Century Literary Genres, but I will discuss these 3 following genres; Doodle Fiction, Graphic Novel, and Manga — including their similarities and differences.
Doodle Fiction:
- This genre consists of cartoon doodles with handwritten graphics place of traditional font.
- Since it has drawings, it enhances the story and often adding humorous elements.
Example books of Doodle Fiction are the following:
— The Search for The Slimy Space Slugs by Mike Lowery. ( https://pin.it/idikqsC )
Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kenny. ( https://pin.it/7xeoyOz )
Graphic Novel:
- This genre contains excerpts of serialized narratives.
- It uses a comic book format.
- This is read from left to right unlike the manga.
Examples of Graphic Novels are the following:

Manga:

- This genre considered as an artistic and flowy storytelling style.
- It’s panels were read from right to left.

All the genres above contains drawings, illustrations, and graphics in telling a story. I can say that it is worthy to read!
