How come a barely known cult manga that was published in 1994 on a weekly magazine has significantly better art direction and technical skill than almost everything currently running in Jump rn?

Idk much but I'll assume it took great skill to impress the masses when the bar was so fucking high. These days? Bad simplistic art is excusable. It's all about the cute eyes now and the long limbs. The bar has lowered
Anyway I don't know much about 90s manga and anime

how are they getting the midtones with ink, just using water to dilute it? Trying for the same effect in my own art since i suck at hatching.

Mangakas who draw on paper use either screen tones (here is video by Naoki Urasawa:https://youtu.be/C2S2RbmvS3k?)) or they scan it into a computer and shade it there (like Yusuke Murata). Others just draw digitally.

it was hugely successful in japan and you'll still find random references to it in recent anime and video games

Gabe has a funny habit of pretending his taste is unique and obscure just because he jerks off over the stuff that was mega popular decades ago instead of what's currently mega popular.

also I don't think all the shading is just screen tones, look again

I am not saying Urasawa did. I am mostly going by the assumption that Yusuke does, since he never used screen tone during his livestreams and I do not see dots on his grey areas (at least in OPM). The only other method of having a grey tone besides digital shading and screen tone is stippling (I think that is what it was called) which was heavily used by Keisuke Itagaki.

Those manga pages/chapter cover illustrations that look a bit funky when printed as only BW on the tankoubon were originally "color pages" or color chapters and they were usually done with watercolor but pretty much any kind of wash painting would achieve a similar look.
