Very nice
Just try to look at others work and try to mimick that then go on and make your own work

Ok so I draw a lot of manga but don't know how I can improve I know anatomy but like what of it, I need to know how, any techniques
Here are a few
More specifically, "anatomy for artists" would start by knowing the following:

- Human figure proportions: How large are parts of the body relative to each other;
- Volumes: How each part of the body can be decomposed in simpler 3D shapes, like spheres, cubes, pyramids, etc.

If you want to improve, I'd say you should start with the basics: learn perspective. Train yourself at properly draw spheres and boxes of all kinds and give them a "3D" look.

At the same time, learn how to control your pencil. That is, you should be able to draw lines that flow show no hand shaking. Try various ways to hold and push on the pencil, and learn how it can help you getting different styles of lines. You should also be able to make basic shading: filling an area with pencil, with the strokes being as unnoticeable as you can (the area should be smoothly filled).

Finally, when using reference pictures, don't simply copy them randomly: try to understand how it was drawn in the first place, how you could decompose it into simpler shapes to reproduce it, etc. "Dumb" copying doesn't teach you anything.

Now, on the drawings you posted here: they all lack IMHO an essential thing: an underlying structure. You haven't defined the proportion and shapes of elements before fleshing them out and, as such, the result is not very satisfying. Visages in pictures 2, 4 and 7 all have eyes whose proportions both compared to the rest of the face and to each other are wrong; similarly, the bodies on picture 6 have very weird proportions and structure. I don't know what to think about pics 1 and 3: I'd bet that you reproduced a reference, but since you didn't get their underlying structure, you made anatomical mistakes (the wrong position of the eye of the left character of kissing couple, for example).

If you want to improve, I'd suggest training yourself drawing a simple - but accurate - "skeleton"/stick figure and sketch it into many different positions. Same for the face: do your best to draw a simple yet accurate face in front and profile view. There are many tutorials on drawing using stick figures, for example this one.

Don't despair - if you are patient, you WILL progress!

your at a good place, the art is good but of course there are many ways to improve.
Try learning anatomical structures, facial and body. The porportions seem off at some places like the eyes. Try working on cleaner lines too, alot of the work has really messy lineart. Just wondering but do you start with basic structure lines?
As in for example, I like to start heads with a circle and some criss cross lines so I know where to place the eyes etc.

Also, try using different angles or perspective, all of the pics are from the same face front angle.

Just to let you know, I need to work on these things to since I draw manga :D

hope it helps!

really good drawings, just the only problome that i had was with the eyes, i know there not goin to come out perfict but try to get them more in line with eachother, like in your second picture all that really needs to be better is the eyes
