Hello! I'm not too well versed in drawing manga, but I can give you a few tips.
Depending on your comic style, panels can play a big part in the atmosphere and movement in a scene. Same goes for speech bubbles.
If you look at any manga, you may notice that some use speech bubbles and panels as a part of the scene.
I don't have any personal examples, but here's a comic I grabbed that has a great use of dynamic panels.
The tension for that scene is high, and the slanted panels create a sense of tension as well. Also notice how the bottom left speech bubble ovelaps with another panel.
If you're doing this online, I recommend Jump Paint by MediBang. It's a free program, and is made for people making manga :D
You need a story planned out first. If you try and figure it out as you produce it then it will lack interest and people will drop it very quickly
Yh I got a whole book
I just don’t know how to display it
My bad I only just saw this
I'd say start with a storyboard, include what you deem the important text and scenes, and draw those out into panels.
Get the progression of the story laid out, and then draw out the scenes you want. After that, I'd say it's a good time to begin planning out where you actually want to place the panels and how.
If you already have a book, books are written completely differently than most comics/mangas progress in terms of story. All considering, you'll want to condense and/or simplify some scenes (like descriptions can become an actual panel of a scene). Think of it almost like your directing a movie based on a book.
Also, keep in mind what amount of text your readers will be willing to read. Don't fill a text bubble to the brim with words, because that will be overwhelming. Instead, break the bubble up into separate, connected bubbles.
