Mitama, Agravity, UxU, Mashle and Guardian
Well, it's why I said that WSJ just has one type, which is romcom with harem. Other magazines have more than one type of romance like WSM, for example, which in the last years had 5 or more romance manga from different types. But, I like WNL (which I prefer over 5toubun) and Yuna (which is much better than TLR).. and before that, I"s, Ichigo 100% and other manga from there so I can't exactly complain, even more because I don't read WSJ exclusively anyway. XD
That could be Yuna and in some chapters, it was. But now they're more rivals than anything.
No, no, you're right. Romcoms can be quite derivative at times, so your criticism and solutions are valid. I'm just kind of a purist when it comes to that genre. Romcom is my favorite genre, so I'm quite protective of it. And I agree, mixing things up is a good way to keep things fresh. Necromance, while not a WSJ manga, is a good example of this. The world and how the main cast are brought up in, specifically the MC and Female Lead(can't remember their names. Honestly fell behind on the series a bit) allow for some amusing but endearing moments between the two. I think setting and laws or rules there within could definitely play a significant role in how romance between characters play out without losing the core of what makes a good romance story.
True, the series has had moments when it became a battle series. But I don't think the series has had actual fights between the girls. I'm talking about fights on the level of the Viviano Westwood fight from Jojo Part 6.
The recent Yui Kamio was kinda like that at points, although most (if not all, but I have already forgotten the details) fights were ended by chad MC heroically adding the girls to his harem. Too bad the series had a major identity crises.
Personally, I want Mitama and Mashle to survive, but I also think Guardian of the Witch will probably stick around for a while.
Speaking as some who knows his JP media, battle harem as a genre is up there with isekai in terms of shovelware genres. A few of them are genuinely good, but a lot of them range from indulgent to just plain bad.
I believe Mitama has the best chances, and also I root for it with all my force. As for the others, I have no idea but I hope Zipman survives, too. Even though it's generic and I see a lot of people criticizing it, I like it.
Note that this is what I hope will happen, not necessarily what I believe will happen. Mitama is the best of the bunch and I definitely want to keep that one around to help fill the void that Saiki and Samon left. Undead Unluck has also been interesting, so I'd also keep that around. I'd be a bit sad if Yozakura left just because I can still see a glimmer of hope in it. Mashle seems like it'll be a simple, fun ride, so maybe I'd be a bit sad to see it go. Agravity wouldn't really impact me one way or another. I don't really feel anything towards Witch either. Zipman is my least favorite of this bunch since it's so generic. Wouldn't mind seeing it go, along with Samurai 8.
All 3 of those Weekly Young Jump series are really interesting romcoms that I have found fascinating. I'm not sure if those types of romcoms would resonate with the readers of WSJ though. Something like Mato Slave may be a better fit for the magazine readers.
Mitama Secureity / Undead x Unluck / Guardian of the Witch
There was that mini arc where everyone fought each other in a battle royale. Or when everyone fought against Hiougi. And more that I don't remember right now where the pretendents fought against each other. Not for winning the guy or something but for other motives.
Eh, there's quite more than a few, even more when Isekai is mostly a setting/premise from light novels and not something really present on manga outside of adaptations of said LN. And just from male and female demographics with male and female MC in those, I could cite quite a lot that I consider good and with different genres inside them from action to comedy to slice of life. And probably more, but I need to read more of them and to get into more female focused isekai LN to say more about them.
High Chance of Surviving: Mitama, Agravity Boys
Hoping we eventually get a School Rumble type of romcom in jump.
Yeah, Mufasa is not a very feminine name. Very strange.
Agravity Boys is getting extra pages, so I’m going to assume it’s doing at least somewhat well as of now.

I'll agree this is not an easy topic to mention in any medium whatsoever, but the problem that remains is that these people are ignoring the whole context of the character that was given the name.
Aside from what others have said, it's not a bad idea to read these Forum Rules.
