Sometimes it feels like it's only the matter of time until Kawae gets to draw for Fate
(Translation: It means that cover is super cool)

Nue's Exorcist Volume #16 Cover
Some cool stuff about this cover:

Volume title is Tsukiakari no Michishirube (Moonlit Guidepost). Kawae used this title for a chapter before. It's likely a reference to Stereopony's song that was the opening theme for Darker than Black's second season, that focused a lot on the moon. The lyrics also fit Gekka's story and feelings.

This plays on this arc's main theme of the yin yang balance, light and dark, a core concept of onmyodo (literally way of yin yang). As Soranaki is a yokai that represents the Sun, Nue is pretty much contrasted with him as the Moon. The cover keeps the space theme and gives Soranaki a bright blonde hair representing a sunny day while Nue has the starry night inside her hair. Gekka is centered in front of a circle that can be either the Sun or the Moon as she's close to both of them.

They also contrast Gakuro and Natsuki. As we know now, Gakuro's natural element is light, while Natsuki is related to Nue, representing darkness.

Gekka's sword is also pretty much Pyra's Aegis Sword from Xenoblade 2 with the fire. Maybe it's just a reference because he likes it, but also could be another nod to the idea of duality/yin yang.

But that, too, is no reason to give series that sell below average superior treatment to series with better sales.
It's fine that Kagurabachi didn't get CP because of Hokazono's health, but that's no reason to put manga like Shinobi Undercover above it (and I like Shinobi Undercover).
Time and time again Jump has shown it values ToC and reader surveys more than sales. Whether we all agree with it or not, Jump believes going with reader surveys is the best way to create a highly competitive atmosphere of great works. And frankly, I’m thankful for it. While it sucks for axed series like red hood that I adored, it also means series like Kiyoshi can survive and it also means series like under doctor can’t just take it easy because they sold well.

But the manga that benefit most from this are exclusively comedies; any other genre is canceled soon after. So, sales should indeed be taken into consideration.

We have more than comedies in the higher rankings of the TOC.

So, in the next issue, most of the manga that will receive CP next week are comedies.
We will have Roku's House because of volume being released, Animal Signal for popularity. And Ichi is not a comedy. I don't think there is an issue on promoting a manga because of its volume being released.

I said most of it is comedy; at no point did I mention anything about Ichi. Besides, it's impossible to know if Animal Signal is actually popular.

Well, it has been ranking okay, maybe it will have a rise like Roku.

Drawn to the Fire also had CP, and it's not popular.
Drawn to the Fire has been on the bottom ever since its 10th chapter. Meanwhile Animal Signal has been on the middle.

Like all comedies in general, even those that aren't well-received.

I don't understand your point. You are saying Jump is promoting more comedies than other series of the magazine, then you bring up 2B that has been on the bottom ever since long ago. What do you want to say?
