You both keep saying "style" but not what it is.
I do agree, if you look at the two there are differences in the ways they are drawn, which is why I have yet to be fooled by an "OEL manga".
If you wanted to say "I want to draw comics in the style of Osamu Tezuka or Kazuo Umezu" then I would understand what you are saying. But just saying "I want to draw in manga style" is meaningless, as within manga there are as many different styles and techniques, from the artwork to the storytelling as there are creators.
think of them as martial arts , there's different style like karate , jujitsu, and muay thai, but many people just tend to call it karate.
And those many people are wrong. The people that actually study and practice jujitsu and muay thai don't call their martial art "karate" only people too ignorant to know better.

point i was making. It's sounds so much better when it's in my head but when i write it out it sounds like crap. meant to say dont group them together but most people already know the difference between the two. also i wasn't calling Manga a style, i meant the type of drawing techniques they use. Everybody starts from somewhere. it varies from artist to artist like Ken Akamatsu creator of Love Hina and Kentaro Yabuki creator of To Love Ru. they're both completely different from each other but they started off learning how to draw from a basic foundation and molded their work into their own unique way. but your right MMM. Ken Akamatsu started drawing after reading Sailor Moon. I would like to draw in the style of Ken. He's the reason i started drawing again, it's simple but adds detail to his work that i like.
