So after all that incredibly boring fuss about just a premise i think i can say: I told you!
Theres zero controversy or offensive stuff in the manga (unless everything can offend you), theres not even gender bender at all, all that "outrage" for literally nothing!
We don't know how the original Astra was before the modifications for Jump+. What we saw was just the released version. And at the end of the day, that decision was for the best as the series was able to survive and get an anime where it was published, unlike on WSJ where it probably could have been cancelled.

Well, with that said, I have read it and it's meh. Not offensive at all like it was being said but it isn't interesting for me at least on the first chapter. But to be fair, most manga feel that way to me and rarely they grab me on the first chapter.
I know it might have been cancelled, but Shinohara mentioned in a interview that he would have made something with more planets to explore, a bigger cast, and a bigger slice-of-life focus, which were exactly the things I liked about the series. And it was completely vetoed, not a "hey, fix stuff up and submit it again", which is my problem with it. It probably wasn't that different...
But anyway, I didn't hate Agravity Boys (and they just gave up the controversial aspect of the premise? Is that it? lol), but it was really uninteresting for me, with the jokes going from boring to obnoxious.
-Act-age has been my favorite manga this week. It has been very intense in the good way.
-Jujutsu and Chainsawman complete my top-3 of this week. My other three candidates were MHA, Dr.Stone, and We Never Learn. Specially WNL, it has had a very good chapter.
-Zipman chapter 2 has been decent, but nothing from other world.
-Agravity Boys chapter 1 has been funny, but let's see what happens.
-I am scared about Yozakura Family because is now in a good streak of introducing secondary interesting characters, but now that the cushion is over, is going to be the manga most suffering in ToCs (without counting S8).
Mission: Yozakura Family really needs to start developing a plot. This villain of the week stuff is getting boring.
Zipman's 2nd chapter didn't convince me yet. The relationship between these twins still feels too weird. At least a plot is starting to form.
I liked Agravity Boys a lot but honestly can't seeing the series having legs. I enjoy Zipman less but think it could honestly have a chance at sticking around if things improve with it a bit.
Lmaoo link? Are your memory that bad? You were the one saying in this thread when Yaiba sales exploded by the anime that was "just a normal boost" and laughing at users thinking it would beat Neverland.

I just compared the One Shot Nakamura made and the first chapter of Agravity. It's a literal carbon-copy. Same panels. Same jokes. Same designs. Same actions. Same stuff happening. It's the literal exact SAME. I don't even know why was I expecting anything.
Zipman Chapter 2 was...about the same, frankly. Nothing exactly bad, but it's not especially interesting, the story is very by the book, the characters are eh, the art is all right, it's just...fine. Which is really the problem, honestly.There's just nothing stand-out about it which justifies it being a part of the line-up longterm.
Mitama I'm starting to get genuinely attached to? I thought the series was overly shaky at first with every chapter feeling the same, but after Hatomune started fleshing out the cast with the Spirits and gave Mitama a more rounded characterization, I feel the series found solid ground to build itself on. Hoping this becomes the new Saiki, honestly.
Yozakura I'm...not positive about. It's become rapidly very boring and directionless as every new chapter seems to be about introduing a new wacky character or idea without trying to build a solid foundation. Unlike Mitama, my hope of it surviving is at an all time low.
In other news, We Never Learn is now in the endgame.

It's one example to wait for the chapters before judging. We all should reserve those kind of things for when the series is out, not when the thing didn't even have a chapter.
Agravity and Zipman chapters were bad IMO. AGravity is not even remotely funny and while I really liked the 1st chapter of Zipman, I feel it jumped the gun with this villain of the week thing starting on chapter 2. Both had a weird timing.
Zipman 2 was better, but I think this story is not for me, I will wait to see if the second battle have some neat ideas, which would be the only thing to keep me reading it.
As for the boys, I didn't hate it, It had a better impression with me than Zipman first chapter did, I want to see the direction this will head to because right now I have no idea
WNL is clearly on endgame now. Like we have been saying for months, it was about to end with the volumes focused on characters and the real world jp events in the manga clearly saying to us that it was approaching the graduation. Also, chapter 139 was definitely one of the best chapters in the series, really emotional to me.
Once WNL ends, it's time for WSJ's very own Gyaru manga. Get Tosh as the artist, make it ecchi with nipples in the volume version and within 3 volumes it's the next million seller.
Agravity Boys was incredible and even the cute little flowery background accents for my husbando Saga *swoons from perfect boyfriend material* hold me.
Truly it is the BL content that JUMP needs more of heart. Still smiling.
