!!''Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir'' provides examples of:
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: The 2021 manga adaptation [[AdaptationExpansion expands upon]] Adrien's loss of his mother. At the start of Chapter 4, Adrien wakes up from a dream about her and bursts into tears, being distracted by it for the rest of the day. This contrasts with the show, where Adrien's specific grief about Emilie is rarely touched upon.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: In the show, Luka is only introduced to Marinette in Season 2, where they first meet through Juleka and her mother. In the manga, during the events of the Season 1 episode ''Dark Cupid'', Ladybug instead meets him while searching for the brainwashed Cat Noir. [[spoiler:He explains that the fragrance Ladybug has been smelling on both Cat Noir and Adrien is actually a very popular scent, which helps convince her that the two are not the same person]].
* AlternateContinuity: The manga adapts the events of Season 1 of the cartoon, but has its own plotline that is not a part of the show's continuity.
* CulturalTranslation: Adrien's poem to Ladybug in ''Dark Cupid'' is actually written as a Japanese haiku, fitting the manga adaptation.
* HiddenDepths: Evillustrator confronts Gabriel, assuming that it must be he who taught Adrien that comics are worthless. The normally reserved, stoic, and no-nonsense Gabriel then goes into a delighted and emphatic spiel about the influence of comics on the other artistic fields and that he considers them to be the "ninth art"[[note]]A term popular in France and Belgium, where the first seven arts refer to the traditional arts like painting and literature, the eighth is film, and the ninth is comics.[[/note]], which is enough to validate Evillustrator and leave him alone.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: In Chapter 4, Chloé asks what Adrien thinks about Nathaniel's comic, but Adrien is distracted and simply tells her he doesn't care, causing Nathaniel to run out in shame and making Adrien one of Evillustrator's targets. Adrien eventually manages to smooth things over with him, explaining he wasn't paying attention to what was being discussed, and assuring Evillustrator that he's actually quite a fan of comics.
* PragmaticAdaptation: Although the 2021 manga faithfully adapts ''Stormy Weather'' and is mostly faithful to ''The Bubbler'', the first ''Evillustrator'' chapter onwards integrates important plot details that were only revealed in Season 2. The manga also [[AdaptationExpansion adds original content that wasn't in the TV episodes]] such as Adrien grieving over his mother and [[spoiler:Marinette, in addition to Gabriel, having suspicions about his identity]] in order to move the plot along at a faster pace than the show. The ''Dark Cupid'' adaptation even includes an AdaptationalEarlyAppearance from Luka.
* ShoutOut: When Evillustrator puts a hole into Chloé's bedroom door, he peers through the empty space in a manner reminiscent of the "Here's Johnny!" scene from ''Film/TheShining''.
* WhamLine: At the end of Chapter 4, Nathaniel remarks that [[spoiler:Adrien's ring is very similar to Cat Noir's, kickstarting the manga-exclusive plotline where both Marinette/Ladybug and Gabriel/Hawk Moth are questioning Cat Noir's true identity]].
