This is a good site as well, it teaches manga drawing in both computer generated and hand drawn. Theres different authors so theres different styles to help you find the one you like most:

Note: You cant draw anime AND manga because anime COMES from manga! Manga is the still picture, anime is the tv show. So its impossible to draw anime, you can make anime though. Unless your going to draw with a magic pencil that'll make your pictures move, then you can call it anime ^.^ So you're drawing manga!
