Depends on how you determine a good manga really. I myself am not fond of Magi and the only info I have about it are the GIFs and statements made about it in the wiki and of course by reading a few recent chapters. The series didn't really catch my eye.

Also its really difficult to say exactly which is "good" because it shifts. The author messes up at times and this causes a huge amount of hate depending on how much he/she messed up. This is true for any series. No one is perfect. However, the ability to keep the mistakes minimum and cause the fans to have averagely good reactions 80-90% of the time does indeed exist in some people. Of course, I might be biased when I say this but I have seen a few series that got very little disappointment from me.

But that's just mostly an illusion really, no series is without flaws. Its the balance that makes it good. The kind of series that makes anyone want to continue despite the mistakes here and there, truly deserve the critical "good".

You must bear in mind that this is a money-making industry. If you want to see better quality stuff, then you need to look for freely posted stories, like doujinshi and web-comics/web-novels. In most of those, the author has the freedom to do what he/she wants without having to worry too much about deadlines, extending the plot to make more cash etc. and since its free we can't really complain since we have to be thankful to the person for undertaking such a thing(this also applies to the devoted scanslators that deliver us manga chapters).

Oops I lost myself there >_> but that's just how important the term "good manga" is. ^_^
