Surely it's a stylistic difference? I don't know; to me manga just look and feel categorically different to 'comic books' of the spiderman or beano ilk. Also manga can be for adults as well as children whereas comics to me are for children pretty much exclusively. Then again I also differentiate between 'western' and 'asian' manga as well. :/
