Class 2B is by Sorachi who has a pretty loyal and large fanbase. Many of who likely don't care about anything else ongoing, so just wait for the volume to be out.

Wonder if they’ll give 2B some better placements now like they did Under Doctor.

As soon as Sorachi submits a chapter on time, 2B will be in first place.
Is this the new excuse they're using, that Sorachi isn't delivering the chapters on time?

Any other author would say it's due to a lack of popularity.

2B's constant placements in the back could be because he isn't delivering the chapters on time, which we know he isn't. You could even say that the reason Roku has been getting all the promotion is because if Sorachi can't even deliver the chapters on time, he's not going to be able to do color pages, and he definitely isn't going to be getting a cover and color spread done on time. However, nothing explains 2B being placed in the back of the group cover while Roku got put alongside the successful series other than that Roku is simply being much better received by magazine readers than 2B. The workload isn't going to increase significantly based on group cover placement. Its definitely not shooting up to 1st place, or even ranking better than Roku has been, if he delivered every chapter going forward on time.

The best move would seem to be a Jump+ move, unless sales crash with volume 2. The magazine audience clearly don't like 2B, Sorachi wanted to be on Jump+ in the first place, and it would be stupid to cancel a series that sells. Everyone wins.

If Sorachi can't keep up with the schedule and as a result 2B is unlikely to run for long in Jump, what is the point of promoting the series on group covers?

It's like Kagurabachi/Ichi. Even if Kagurabachi got better reader votes, if I were the editor-in-chief of Jump, I would place Ichi higher in the TOC, because it's almost guaranteed to have a stable run for 10 years, whereas Kagurabachi might not even make it to 20 volumes.

Although we know Nishi has Iruma on her back, I don't think Saito puts Ichi on the front based on the possibility of running for 10 years. It may really just be that votes for Ichi are at a higher number than those for Kagurabachi.

Well it’s also just the matter of Hokazano not being physically capable of doing a color page if he can only churn out 14 page chapters.

Id love for the hopium of 2B surviving be true as I am on the same hopium for it, but realistically it’s still in a very dangerous spot to be axed. Even if Sorachi is late on deadlines they wouldn’t be putting 2B dead last unless Saito revitalized the having a gag manga as the last series kind of thing. Hopefully the large sales will motivate people to pick it back up because after the twist around chapter 5; I think the series really picks up and the comedy becomes more diverse outside of toilet humor and starts joking about JRPG tropes.

I doubt missing deadlines makes a difference from top 5 to dead last. Especially since it dropped to the bottom when it went isekai and has stayed there. The good sales will probably just be Gintama fans buying it because it's Sorachi, who haven't kept up with the weekly releases and hence don't know how bad the series is.

But maybe they will be enough to pump up its votes.
