You are making my point for me NatsuNatsu.

In the West so many people have such a narrow view of what manga is that they think it can be called a "style".

Listen to what you said. "They all use about the same intruments, [in music]" Sure, if you are talking about pop/rock.

You see manga as the narrow sliver of pop/rock, and there's a WHOLE OTHER world out there there.

A classical orchestra doesn't use those instruments. Doesn't sing, either. Would you say a mariachi band doesn't make music? They surely don't play the same way as pop musicians. Neither do enka musicians in Japan, shanson singers in France, didgeridoo players in Australia...

Music HAS many styles. But it isn't a style. It's a medium.
