Manga is a popular form of Japanese comic and graphic novel that has gained global popularity. While it is a form of art, it is not simply called "drawing art" because it encompasses more than just the act of drawing. Manga involves a unique style, storytelling, and cultural influences that set it apart from other forms of traditional art. Additionally, the term "drawing art" is quite broad and can refer to various forms of visual art, whereas Manga is a specific medium with its own techniques and conventions.

Furthermore, the term "anim-art" is not commonly used because Manga is not solely focused on animation. While some Manga may be adapted into animated series or films, the medium itself is not limited to animation. Many Manga are still images on a page, and the storytelling relies heavily on the reader's imagination and interpretation.

In short, Manga is a distinct and multifaceted medium that combines elements of storytelling, illustration, and cultural influences. While it is a form of art, it is not simply called "drawing art" or "anim-art" because it encompasses more than just the act of drawing and animation.
