Yeah, it's exactly like that for your two first paragraphs. The same happened in the past for other romcom like Nisekoi, To love Ru and Yunna itself. And the fact that WNL still gets CP out there just shows that they are still willingly to promote, just not to put it high for a series about to end that isn't a huge seller like Neverland.
So who will Jump push as Jump staple now? They lost Tragedy Tanjiro, and they are about to lose Lonely Emma. Denji and Yuuji are the hot picks/next in line, but I also want the to put Kei in there
I don’t get what your implying. You’re last statement seems to insinuate that this is overall connected to it ending, but we can all probably agree the WNL is receiving a natural ending, and one that the mangaka intended.
Interesting how Haikyuu has the second most colour pages out of all manga that have ever been serialised in Jump, right after Kochikame. Would've never guessed that one.So, because I got interest in the amount of Covers, CPs and LCPs the series has had over the years. I decided to do a google sheet that supously was only going from the 90s to now, but decided to go all in and do all of Jump. (Atleast the series that defined the magazine and some relevant series that lasted for a bit). And its updated until the new ToC issue of today.
Here is the link to see it much better, just delete the line between the t's in https:ht-tps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qVcqWdEWfoL8J1utRLtd0nEBtJOHX5pqb7bJOS2Q8ws/edit?usp=sharing
It starts on 1969 because on the magazine first year, it was mostly real life images covers.
In the covers part, because in the beginnings of the magazine it was more usual for 3-4 series to shared the cover, I decided to count as a "+1" for the series that appeared and did the same with the rest of the years. So examples like this:are counted as a +1 for Yuuna and +1 for WNL.
Sequels are considered if they run on Jump. Example: Bobobo and Shin Bobobo Covers, CPs and LCPs are in the same row.
If any of you guys think I left one that shoul be included, tell me please to add it. And sorry if I couldnt design more nicely the sheet, Im not good with it tbh.
Thanks to @yadayada and @revo68 for helping me with the source links to be able to find the CPs and LCPs parts, specially for the beginnings to 90s series.

Dont asked me how much time I spent on this.
I am a super fan of Kei, but I don't think I will ever see her as a Jump staple.
Kei is basically the third ranger.
I hope this is the case. I’m seeing it as a mix of action, comedy, fanservice, and romance. This may change when I read the chapter, if it focuses on one thing or the other. All in all, the more I see, the more excited I get. I just want this to be good. If that’s the case, then this can easily become a mainstay in the magazine.
As expected, Oda keeping his track record of congratulating every single mangaka that he previously mentioned in an author comment for finishing their manga.
Guardian of the Witch might end next issue based on chapter IDs on Manga+. They usually don't announce when a cancelled manga ends.
Kochikame
Aside from One Piece, only Black Clover this issue. Before that, the last series to take a break was The Promised Neverland on issue #21-22.
