Dude, even though Agravity sells more than Mitama, jump never gave him a color page.
So who cares if Jump doesn't want to invest in it, why would they axe it when it did better than other series? The comedies have done better than the other series that were axed so obviously Jump would let the comedies live longer. It's not because they are comedies that is letting them live long, its that people liked them better than the other series.

Nah, it was just a fluke, Moriking was (and still) leagues above in quality, BC would be stuck in the bottom.
I would have canceled Moriking along with time paradox and bone collection.
Seems like you just have something against comedy, simple.
Yeah Agravity is kinda weird. Idk I still find it weird that it sold pretty well comparing it to some other newbies, yet it was at the back of the magazine this entire time. Like usually things at the back end of the magazine are the series that will likely sell badly and get axed next but Agravity sold surprisingly well for a series that everyone expected to die early on. Like I would say that Agravity got a twitter page as promotion, but Moriking, UU and Mashle also have twitter pages and they got CP's (though UU and Mashle deserve it way more obviously).
I mean it was basically confirmed they were getting axed before we got sales so it was too late for them, especially Time Paradox which isn't a comedy and couldn't just keep going because it had a story which was heading towards an ending already. Plus there sales aren't even that apart, it's like 4.7k vs 4.3k right? Moriking was getting great positions and Time Paradox was bottom locked. Once again obvious.
When you have 8 comedies, it's very complicated not to have problems with them. And we already have Roboko to stay in the back of the magazine so why have Kokousei?

Still, Moriking is a manga that sold only 4K and in that year that a jump lost kimetsu, TPN, Haikyuu, Yuuna and Act age, it is not good to skip keeping something like Moriking that sells less than Agravity.
Roboco isn't really a series for the back of the magazine when it has 15 pages per chapter, Kokosei has 11 pages per chapter, it's from a popular gag author that had his last series in the back before and it's really funny, why would Jump not serialize Ryou when he is a popular author? i wouldn't be any surprise if do sell better than all the later comedies, Isobe average volume sales were over 20k/30k, not really hard for Ryou to beat current gag sales.
Why would they cancel Moriking when they don't need too right now? They can cancel it next time when it is doing worse than another series and they want to bring new series, not when there is nothing to axe it for, that would be bad and pointless move.
Ok. Cancel roboko then, since Kokousei will sell so much, there is no reason to keep Roboko.

They are similar, they can be different in some ways but there are many similarities between them.
What are the similarities between them? The only similarity I see are the setups for the characters: Moriking, Magu-Chan, and Roboco are kinda similar I guess but the way they act are different. Their personalities are nothing alike and you make it sound like these series are copies of each other. You are basically saying all series were characters start off being the weakest and want to grow to become stronger are the same.
Moriking, Magu chan and Roboko are very similar. "A child who receives a strange being" is a concept that already exists in the magazine and in many places and in the jump currently has three of them. And everyone is based on comedy.
That's literally what I said... I said they had the same setup by their execution of comedy is different. That's the only similarity.
lol you're not making any sense Stivie, it's not even the same style of jokes/comedy, and readers are who decide this and so far Roboco is doing fine, Jump doesn't have just 1 spot for comedies in the magazine.
But there is also no room left for eight comedies.
at least those comedies that you showed had personality and were different from each other.
I honestly doubt that, excluding the obvious one, you read any of these comedies.
but based in your logic 3 posts ago sket dance and gintama are almost the same series
