Yes, manga frequently employs specific visual shorthand. For example, sweat drops indicate sadness, blushing indicates embarrassment, and speed lines are used extensively to convey movement. These conventions are less prevalent in traditional Western comic art, which tends to rely more on direct depiction of action.
