It took me a really long time to get used to the popularity of tracing, but I've cometo appriciate how mangakas still manage to style it to make it their own. It's easier with webtoons since they can do this through finding interesting ways of coloring. Though it's lazy when they just blur out a photo & slap a few lines or screentone over it to avoid background art completely. I've noticed both Killing Stalking & Yuri on Ice do that.
I haven't read either of those two manga yet. I'm holding off on Killing/Stalking since the title leads one to assume it's a bit heavy. (￣∇￣") I Thot You Was a Toad
The other one is actually an anime. I actually stopped watching anime in 2004 & when I started again in 2011, then stopped again when Free! came out & noticed that rotoscoping had become really common in anime., I was surprised. Rotoscoping was horrific back in the 70s, like Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings.

Bakshi's LotR was truly horrific. I can see where your aversion to tracing comes from. It also interferes with the natural tendency of a representational artist to slip into mannerisms. Most art critics are quite snide about mannerism but it pretty much defined the entire Baroque period. I like its effects in anime and manga, where idealistic

I was going to say, where that pre-Raphaelite sort of rigidity and Neo-Classicism is at odds with most stories. Anime and manga are great because they aren't too super-real.

I suppose. But automatic process and copying have been part of critical discourse in modern art since Duchamp's ready-mades and Warhol's soup cans. It's how artists reframe the content to make it exclusively their own. For example, the colours and lights reflected at the feet of the two characters, hot and cold, tell a little story of their own.

Tracing over photographs has really become popular with mangakas in Japan & Korea as a time saving method of reaching deadlines faster.
