Another key difference is the level of detail; not only in the plot but the art work. Since comic books can be understood without having things occur in real time the amount of information you can compress in to 30 pages is more than 30 minutes of a tv show. When you also add that you have all the visual aid of the show on top of that it allows the mangaka (comicbook artist) to expand their plot much quicker than they would though an anime.
The art work in manga is much more detailed than in anime simply because they have the gray scale at their use versus blocks of color. Depending on the genre and where it's made will determine the level of detail. Generally, mangas directed at girls have more detailed simply because girls tend to pay attention to detail. Where as guys tend to just enjoy the action and what's going on.
Just like books there are different genres, styles and age appropriateness. It is found more often that when mangas get translated and sold in the United States that they are severely manipulated to fit their intended age group in the united states.
