This whole pilot mini series concept seems like such an overkill and wasted effort to me. Wasnt Jujutsu the only one of them that didnt end up flopping anyway? And that too ended up being a canon prequel instead. I don't see what more this has to offer over a simple one shot in the other cases.

It only took two years for three of the 2016 participants to get serialized (Jujutsu, NeoLation, Seiji Tanaka). I wonder what all the rest are up to and why Jump didnt have one last year (no quality submissions?), because they sure are going to need new talent this year, but they probably already have them lined up.
You only need Jujutsu Kaisen to explain why, the fact that a short series lately became a popular series with potential of being a big hit is more than enough to make Nakano and the editors keep doing it because you never know if you will find your next hit in one of these short series, it also works as a experience for new authors.
They might need that new talent a lot more now due to all the series that are about to end.
I'm glad the art style seems to have improved since the oneshot. Conceptually, it wasn't too bad, but also doesn't seem like anything super amazing either.
Ehh, you never get tired of this "gag ain't popular anymore" Rain? it just didn't sell like people thought would based in their personal opinion, the manga still not in danger, when you keep pushing these things it gets annoying really fast.
As long as the art compliments the humor, its fine. Saiki's art was barely good. But it complimented the comedy quite well.
Maybe its because those readers you speak of are the only ones buying the volumes
Eh. Jump has many failures every year in a wide variety of genres. Does mean the genre is cursed.
The JP readers are all saving their money to make Agravity Boys the first gag hit of the new decade
lol imagine Agravity Boys and Mashle selling well, Rain would have a meltdown kkkkkThe JP readers are all saving their money to make Agravity Boys the first gag hit of the new decade
Just put extra arts for Chris in the first volume. Done. Guaranteed hitThe JP readers are all saving their money to make Agravity Boys the first gag hit of the new decade
Easier, just put the uncensored Chris without the "send letters" in the volume, it will be a hit kkkkJust put extra arts for Chris in the first volume. Done. Guaranteed hit
Tell that to the Pokémon fandom. Seriously, SwSh is honestly just a byproduct of this whole thing. Franchise is so big the games don’t matter as much anymore. The vast majority of Pokémon’s gross comes from merchandise, and it’s no contest.
They're probably just going to remove the "Send a message" text, in other words nullifying the joke all together.
