They still retain a pretty distinct comic book style.

Which is why it's so weird to hear them called 'manga'. It doesn't have anything to do with style borrowing. It's really all about semantics since as other people have brought up, both countries have borrowed heavily from each other. Why call them manga when you can easily called them digests, comic books or graphic novels? Actually graphic novels is exactly what they are. Lengthy original stories, similar to novels, that aren't published as monthly serials.

Also I feel the same about the manhwa. I always correct people at the store I work at, especially now that there's a good wave sized wave of them coming out here.

Edit: It doesn't have anything to do with style borrowing for most people, I think.

Sorry, I totally forgot that that the secret said ripped off art styles. That I totally don't agree with. ^^;
