Every manga artist has his or her own style, and I am sure the Japanese artists don't appreciate being lumped into one single group as a single style.

Sorry I didn't mean to word it that way. Bad example I guess.
Manga refers to the Japanese style of comics books. If you told someone here in the U.S. that you liked "comics" they would think of like Superman. If you told them you liked manga they would think of some sort of generic manga character, like a young woman in a school uniform or something.
I've never lived or been in Japan so I have no idea what Japanese people think of if you say "manga", but here in the U.S. it's more of a style than a word.
