We weren't even suppose to get a new manga. But the movie sold so well that it forced a manga. So if it sells well, I'd imagine this would go to a weekly series.

Is wasn't the weren't supposed to get a new manga, it's just that nothing was planned at the time.

And I don't think it will go to weekly just because it sells well. It never happens for any series. I would say the main reason it's a monthly is because the author is incapable of producing a weekly series.

Take Toyotaro/Toyable, the author of the Dragon Ball Super manga. Since he is mimicking Toriyama's artstyle, it takes him longer to draw, and is only capable of doing 20 page chapters once a month. I would assume this is a similar case.

And speaking of mimicking artstyles, that's why the art is bad. With any spin-off or sequel that is drawn by someone else, 90% of the time the art will always look inferior to the original mangaka's. It's extremely hard to mimic someone else's artstyle. Also, most of these spin-off mangaka's are low-level mangaka.
