They apply furigana based on the target audience. A high school audience will still have furigana since they're still learning their 1945 kanji.
I have a kanji book that teaches the kanji in the same order that k-12 japanese learn it. There's a pretty strong match between a manga's target audience and which kanji get used and when they have furigana.
And given modern japanese adults having some problems with kanji.... they're probably raising the bar on when they leave furigana out.
