Manga isn't Super Saiyan 2 Rage, the manga has Strengthened Super Saiyan 2, or Ascended Super Saiyan 2. It's a final culmination of Super Saiyan 2 in the same way the Full Power Super Saiyan was the final state of Super Saiyan 1, achieved through unending training rather than anger. It's considered a transformation state, as Trunks was shown going from SS2 into this more powerful state when facing Goku's SS3, shown by a massive increase in the lightning discharge in his aura and a change to his hair spikes.
