I enjoyed Phantom Seer and wish we could have gotten more of it. I also enjoyed that candy manga - I can't think of the name right now but the main character used a lollypop

It hasn't been years but I wonder what Yuuji Kaku could have done with Ayashimon were he given the chance to tell that story in full. It had no time in Jump to lay the groundwork, but the Yakuza Yokai setting oozed style.
Ginka and Glüna was another series that was taken from us before its time. I think it suffered by being a little more cartoonish and straight edge in its storytelling in a time when Jump readers seem to be into more dramatic and edgy themes.
There's a remake of Crest of the Stars manga that gets updated once every 1 or 2 years.
I don't know if it's still running or not. But damm i loved the concept and visual style. There's also some books, and old anime and the original manga but I'm somewhat afraid of consuming them at this point.
Zombie Powder. One of the first manga I ever read, chainsaw sword wielding samurai with titillating nuggets of an unfolding over arching plot... 27 chapters. Tite Kibo got busy when Bleach blew up and it got dropped. :(
For me its Saitou-kun wa Esper Rashii

It was some dumb comedy with an overconfident protagonist meeting actual espers which was so dumb funny to me, also it included a mind reader which is one of my favorite tropes in manga. It does have some of that 2000s and early 2010s ecchi which I feel has aged kind of poorly as it feel forced, at least for me. But the comedy is good, the main cast is funny and the protagonist is just really likeable in a sense.
Only problem is it lasts 26 chapters and the ending was so rushed it is nonsensical, I love this series but man when I reached the ending I was in disbelief seeing end that way.
HxH.

Hunter x Hunter isn't cancelled.
It hasn't been cancelled, but on the WSJ website, it's been moved from the "Serialised Works" section to the "Archived" section. I think that's about as much confirmation as we'll get.
Gal Cleaning. It was enjoyable, but nothing special. Then the author found out it was axed after one volume, the author went a little crazy. He created 14 point chapters, that suddenly went dark (from a happy, but dumb romcom to sexual violence and the like out of nowhere). I ended up dropping it before that actually showed up, but it it still haunts my memories.
