They are NOT the same story. The manga was so much better. I can't even believe the changes they made with the anime. The protagonist's design is totally different and this character got completely left out!
話 - はなし is a story or a conversation. The verbs "to talk" or "to chat" can be written as 話す/話します [はなす/はなします] or 話(を)する/話(を)します [はなし(を)する/はなし(を)します].
I used 物語 instead of 話, and it was marked wrong. Doesn't 物語 also mean "story"?

I think it is ok here but monogatari usually means more a tale or a legendary story, not just your run of a mill everyday story.
How often is "manga" written in katakana? I've always seen it written as 「漫画」.
So, we have select the kanji for まんが, connect the pairs with 漫画 - まんが, and when we finally get it in a sentence it is マンガ in カタカナ.
The app marked 漫画 wrong and corrected with マンガ. Is there even a difference?
No, this is an example of Duolingo's Japanese course having a mistake.
If 同じ is a na-adjective, then why is it not followed by な if it is attributive to 話?
Is it a na-adjective? From what I gathered, the use of "the same" is just a description that ties two ideas or objects together, rather than describing them. It can work like an adjective but it's not exactly the same as either group.
So since then, I gathered that 同じ is what is known as "adverbial nouns." Adverbial nouns are scarce but behave on a case-by-case basis and are thus best to be memorized in usage. You may know other adverbial nouns like とても, たくさん, and もし.

what is the difference between マンガ and 漫画 ? i wrote it with kanji ad it appears with katakana as alternate answer. was it necessary?
how would you translate: このマンガはそのアニメと versus: このマンガとそのアニメは because only one is marked correct here and my native speaker partner says they have the same meaning?

I suspect it is similar to how "I will play with her" (私は彼女と遊びます • わたしはかのじょとあそびます) and "her and I will play together" (一緒彼女と私は遊びます • いっしょかのじょとわたしはあそびます). The と being used like "with" and in a similar sense in this case.
Though I am not completely sure about that, so I'd suggest not internalizing this, as it is likely not right.
Because onaji is an adjective describing the noun hanashi. That answer is too full of grammar points to really feel like a good explanation, but that's the best i can do. Sorry about that
Confused here. I was under the impression that comic book was manga and one of the books cartoons was anime. How can the story be the same???......jk

You're confused? My friend, first I think you didn't understand what anime was, (which would blow my mind). Then I think you are making a joke about the manga and the manga's drawing having the same story. Then you say JK and now I don't know what to think! Is that relating to the not know what anime is; did I just read this post wrong; is it relating to the joke; was it a joke; why am I writing this post?!? Confused? No, Confusing.
....jk
Sorry about that, all my friends call me JK. Initials of my name. I have since, on here, changed that to John on this web site only. Sorry for that confusion......JOHN Ps I have never heard the word anime or mange. But since it is written in the K kana I assumed(wrongly I guess) that it is a foreign word coming from animation. Not joke
Manga isn't a borrowed word, & has its own kanji: 漫画. Why it's in katakana here is confusing me. Anime is a borrowed word, but the way it's used in English refers only to Japanese animation that usu. has stories from manga, a type of comic book that's around 200 pages, in black & white, & not something u want a little kid to read. Swearing, bloody violence, beer, tobacco, & innuendoes r common. Many have a Teen rating.
I typed "この漫画とそのアニメは同じ物語です" and the app marked as wrong. I spoke to the native speaker who helps me sometimes and they said that "話(はなし)" is the correct form. That cleared up the 物語 point. As for マンガ vs 漫画, this is highly contextual. When I lived in Japan, I saw 漫画, マンガ and コミックス all meaning the same thing in bookstores. So it really depends on to whom and where you are talking.
Relax if you got it wrong, but remember that Japanese is a very contextual language.
So is it common for 漫画 to be written in kana instead, like how animals are normally written in kana?
I think ゲゲゲの喜太郎 actually sounds interesting. This anime was hired in the 70s and it was a Manga comic as well. (The theme song is quite catchy.)
