Some people call things manga not by who drew/wrote the piece in question, or even by the language it is written in, but by the general art style.
Going by that it does make sense to call it manga.
And since we all know language is a living thing there is no denying that this is quite a wide spread usage in English now.
(At least, I hear it used like this all the time)
It may be technically incorrect but language isn't produced by dictionaries and grammar rules etc. so maybe this is in actual fact a new correct usage that people are just going that have to get used to, like it or not.
