She either got really good, or her editor is godly.
Iono, she could have been handled the concept by the magazine and she had to work with it the best she can. It happens alot actually, especially in the tier-two magazines (and Sunday sometimes). Sumomomomomomo was actually slightly above average for romantic comedy, as in it is actually funny. She knew her current editor for some long-ass time (before Sumomomomomomo), so it might be that she finally gets the freedom to do what she wants (with input from him) instead of him "leveing her up".

Note that she jumped magazines, so my read on the situatiion is that Ohtaka only managed to serialize in Sunday right after GanGan..because Sumomomo momomo is a moderate success and her links to the editor.
