      It’s a chibi-esque-ish art style - not obviously manga but I can see why someone might think that if they were unfamiliar with the genre

        Yeah tbh I’d probably call it a transpacific style. It’s in the realm where its style is clearly in the tradition resulting from decades of interaction and inspiration between Japanese and North American artists. It’s chibi meets post-calarts American
