And I completely agree, but you seem to be overlooking the fact that I did not say that manga is a style.
(Read my first sentence carefully)
I said that people use the word manga based on the general art style of the pictures.
Basically when I look at the pictures it looks to me like it is more influenced by art styles in manga, hence why people call it manga, and why it makes sense.
By using the word manga I knew exactly what to expect before I even looked at it.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree then.
I mean, nothing makes me think the author is from Japan
(But then again, if it weren't for mangas being in Japanese, nothing would make me think the authors of Japanese mangas are from Japan either)
But from what I can see they look like they are obviously trying to copy a style that you would find in a manga as opposed to say, an American comic.
