Learn the basics, like eyes and mouth, or hair.
Then combine their styles to make your own. :D

Hmm . . . either download some manga or check out some online doujinshis (MegaTokyo and VGCats are good choices.) Or, if you prefer, go to HowToDrawManga.Com (http://www.howtodrawmanga.com) and pick up some books and supplies. There was a site that had the tutorials from the How To Draw Manga books posted, but I can't remember the URL. Try searching for it.

I am not much of an artist, but I can recomend the How To Draw Manga books Seth mentioned. They have a lot of examples and not a whole lot of text, which is great.

I have the books and I agree. Don't usee all of it cos really its just as bad as copying someone elses work.
