Manga frequently uses ‘speed lines’ to indicate movement, ‘thought bubbles’ to represent internal monologue, and ‘onomatopeia’ (sound effects written in Japanese) to enhance the reading experience. ‘Komorebi’ (light filtering through trees) is a common visual motif, and ‘shimmering’ effects are frequently used to depict magical abilities or emotional intensity.
