There isn't just Inoue who draws realistically, and I agree that most manga artists draw generic manga. Let's just put it this way though: manga is just cartooning. So don't see it as manga, see it as cartooning. And cartooning is more appealing than 50s Loomis heads an traced photos.
I don't like that backgrounds are traced in manga either but guess what, backgrounds in capeshit are also traced (badly), or they're complete trainwrecks (pic related) so I think manga still wins this one out with their xeroxed photos because at least they know what they're doing.

I'm not a weeb and I don't even like the animu style, but capeshit is fucking atrocious from every single standpoint, writing, art, backgrounds, movement, characters, everything is a fucking mess.
The characters have been the same for some 80 years now, they can't possibly die, the status quo can't change, everything dramatic is an "alternate universe" so what's the fucking point to read anything if there's no continuity? The characters don't evolve, they can't evolve. They have no personality whatsoever left. There is no story. The art is shit. There's obnoxious virtue signaling everywhere. Not a single redeeming factor, they might as well print issues with no cover, no interiors, just blank pages and write "BATMAN" on the cover in comic sans and capefags would collect that shit anyway.
