I think the specific thing you are talking about here works so much better in visual form than in text. It is a lot quicker to parse and understand something like a manga panel where different characters are simultaneously having different thought bubbles and/or facial expressions. In fact, this is often used as a source of humor in many misunderstanding series. Memes also make use of this difference (example)
By comparison, in text, you need to write it out from one character's POV, switch to a different character and recount those same events but with a different internal monologue. It's just clunky by comparison, and feels like a chore to slog through.
