Anime people, in my vision, have longer, thinner faces. However, if you're doing chibi manga, then it's alright, but smaller eyes and small nose. Broader mouth and longer bangs.

On manga style, I like to make them somewhat detailed. On males, it helps for me to draw the jawline, and where the eyebrows connect to the nose. I also like doing the collarbone and (slightly visible) slanted lines extending to the throat. It's hard to explain without photos, but soon I will do a step by step how to draw Claude Faustus, a male manga character in Black Butler.

The eyes are a bit too high. I would recommend that you make her face a bit thinner and more angular, and her nose closer to her mouth. Sometimes you can even leave the nose out. This, and I think her eyes may be a bit too large. You want to be careful about that. You may also want to make her brows more angular or possibly a bit smaller. If her eyes were lower down then the brows can be higher up than what's considered proportionate with realistic human anatomy. Her hairline is a bit high as well, and her mouth is drawn in rather hard.

Either way, it isn't too awful. You just need a bit of practice.
