The mouth of anime or manga characters is very simple. No need to draw full mouth lips, just draw with one or two curves depending on the case. The mouth tends to be smaller in real life but also depends on the expression and state of the character. For example, when the character is surprised or angry, the mouth will open very large, while the normal state will be pretty small mouth.

To determine the position of the mouth of the character on the face, you outline two baselines that lie horizontally below the nose and below the chin. The lower lip is in the middle of these two lines, the mouth is just a little above.

If the mouth or lips move from the normal state, you can adjust the size and position accordingly.
