Because as MMM says, there is no particular style in it.
Manga means comic in Japanese I believe. They made it, so they apply the styles that go to it I guess.

I completely disagree. You have picked up on the STEREOTYPES that we apply to "manga art", but Taiyo Matrumoto's style is completely different from Kazuo Umezu who is completely different from Hiroki Endo who is completely different from Goseki Kojima. These are the masters, and they what they do have in common is that they don't draw doe-eyed girls with big boobs and long skinny legs. Manga is a format. There are as many styles as there are original artists.
lol that's not what I meant. I guess I do really suck at explaining things. I was just trying to explain how you can tell the difference between American Art and Asian art. But I guess I just used a bad example. They look nothing alike, and I was trying to put it visually.
