Do you think my drawing style is anime/manga?

I was wondering, because my style developed from drawing Manga for about a week, then losing the instructions and adding in random things and influences, so I dunno what it is anymore lol. I've been told a couple of times that it looks sort of Disneyish aswell.

Here's a few examples of my style:

To an extent, yes. It fits in the large blur between manga and western art.
It's mostly the way you draw eyes that make it manga-esque.

Yeah I see what you mean. I draw the eyes square on males, but more realistic and narrow on females. And when I draw babies or small children their eyes tend to be circular.
Here are some examples of the eyes:

Here's a woman's eyes:



And a teenage guy's eyes:



And then here's how I draw children or cute character's eyes:

I'll be honest, your style has the sort of feel of "attempting to be manga but falling short". The eyes, cheekbone, jawline, and proportions are generally responsible for that. But you're in a good position. You're not so far down the rabbit hole that you can't avoid a manga style if you buckle down and choose better art to emulate. I don't mean to put down anime/manga, but it's becoming more and more trite the more people use it, and it'll kill job opportunities if you try to take it to the professional level.
