Manga employs numerous symbolic representations. A single bead of sweat often signifies nervousness or embarrassment. Veins popping on the forehead indicate anger or frustration. Speed lines represent motion. Sparkling effects denote happiness or a positive emotion. Backgrounds can symbolize a character's emotional state – a dark, chaotic background might represent inner turmoil. Flowers often represent fleeting beauty or romance.
