Yes, there are occasional examples. Just that I think the reason they're so rare is they're hard to write them both well and marketable to the core demographic of actual children..
The political component only became a part of AoT after it had already acquired a huge estabilished fanbase, and even then, it lost a decent bit of readers after it went political compared to its peak.
I'd actually love to see that kind of series in Jump. Something like a young adult protagonist who comes up from poverty in a fictional nation and tries to change it from the inside. Plus you could get lots of Death Note-esque mind battles and machiavellian antagonists to boot.
That would be really cool
My hopes for this, lies with Galaxy Gangs
Pretty much this. Mind battles and polling competition or whatever you wanna call it would/should be the main thing behind a political manga.
If i'm not wrong, the last Osuka Gen one shot "Fantasies" is literally this, even the monsters.
Yeah I'm aware of it tho like you said it will need to get rid of the monsters thing. Was thinking of something more like Gangsta. in the 1930s.
I think it'd be better if it was in Jump+ or Young Jump tbh but it would be dope to in WSJ ngl
Listen to my proposal, how about Kubo making a .... FASHION manga similar to Runway on Magazine.

Cyberpunk in WSJ gonna be really, for the lack of a better world, lame. Didn't Tokyo something Squad have some cyberpunk elements in it (aesthetic, setting, etc)? Cyberpunk in manga peaked with Blame already.
Well I don't think he would be able to make a coherent story about fashion like runway. But he is good at designing clothes so maybe he should be be a fashion designer.
