There were many similarities between novels and comics, including: 1. Storyline: Both novels and comics need a fascinating storyline that includes character development, conflict resolution, and exploration of the theme. 2. Character image: The character image in the novel is usually shown through the character's words, deeds and personality. In the manga, it can be shown through details such as the face, body and clothing. 3. Setting: Both novels and comics need a story world with setting, including cities, villages, wilderness, oceans, and so on. 4. Emotional expression: Both novels and comics need to express the theme and emotions through the emotional expression of the characters, including love, friendship, family, faith, and so on. 5. Styles: Fictions and comics can be presented in different styles, including realism, fantasy, science fiction, mystery, horror, and so on. Although novels and comics have different forms of expression and theme, they are both literary forms that have the function of expressing human emotions and thoughts.
Overcoming obstacles is also a theme. Society's prejudices, family issues, and personal insecurities can all be obstacles for the characters in gay manga novels. In 'Doukyuusei', the two boys have to deal with the fear of being discovered and the potential negative reactions from those around them as they explore their relationship.
Common skill levels include novice, apprentice, journeyman, and master. For example, in a manga about a blacksmith, the main character might start as a novice, learning the basics of forging. As the story unfolds, he becomes an apprentice under a more experienced blacksmith, and later, with enough practice and growth, a journeyman and eventually a master.
One common theme is survival. In a desolate world, characters have to fight for basic necessities like food, water, and shelter. For example, in 'I Am Legend' (both the novel and movie adaptation), the main character has to survive alone in a world overrun by vampires.
Manga selfcest is extremely uncommon. Most manga focus on a wide variety of other themes and storylines that are more mainstream and appealing to a broad audience.

Tattoos aren't overly common in anime and manga. When they do appear, they often have symbolic or plot-related significance. For example, in a supernatural-themed story, a tattoo could be a mark of a special ability or curse.
Yes, there are. For example, the 'tsundere' character type is quite common, where a character acts tough but has a soft side.

Well, common taboos in manga might include excessive violence, vulgar language, and inappropriate sexual content.
One common weakness could be inconsistent plot development. Sometimes, the story might lose its coherence or pace.
