History Manga / PPPPPP

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: Because the series was canceled, the ending wraps things up on a tragic note: Normal Lucky's dream of reuniting with his siblings and playing the piano with them never comes true. Brilliant Lucky takes over Normal Lucky's body (leaving Normal Lucky to be trapped inside as Brilliant Lucky's "guilt" and "remorse"). Upon waking up, Brilliant Lucky punches Gakuon, which is the very last thing the last chapter shows.]]

* AbusiveDad: Let's say that Gakuon is bad at parenting. He berates Lucky's lack of talent/fantasy in playing piano, to the point it becomes the source of the divorce. He outright [[IHaveNoSon denied his existence]], as well, by billing the other six as sextuplets. Even to the children whose talent he values and deems as precious, he has no qualms in slapping them when they do something wrong per his standard.

* BlackSheep: Lucky is treated as one by his father for his average skill in playing piano and his maternal aunt and cousin for being the divorce cause. Some of his siblings are still civil to him, while some don't bother to think about him.

* TheNamesake: ''PPPPPP'' can read as ''pianissississississimo''. It is a musical term for playing an instrument in an extremely soft manner, which indicates Lucky's piano playing style in the beginning. It becomes a TitleDrop in Chapter 8, said by Dada.

** For all of his effort in conjuring visual imagery that people can experience viscerally, Lucky still has a long way to polish his piano skill due to the lack of training he got before enrolling in music school. [[spoiler:Lampshaded in Chapter 13, Lucky's playing gets noticed as something noteworthy by the judges, but Reijiro wins the audition as he captures and fulfills the requirement that the judges need.]]

* TranslationMatchmaking: The official translation for ''Dadadadaan'' the one-shot title is ''Da da da duum'', as shown in chapter 51, enough to avoid confusion with [[Manga/{{Dandadan}} another similarly named series]] in the ''[[Magazine/ShonenJump Shonen Jump+]]''.

Lucky Sonoda was born as one of the septuplets in a music family. His father, Gakuon Otogami, is a world-renowned pianist who won a lot of acclaimed and prestigious concurs. Naturally, Lucky has always been fond of playing the piano. However, after the divorce of his parents, separated from his siblings, and being shunned by his maternal relative, he becomes reluctant to play one. He is aware that his mediocre talent and lack of fantasy [[ItsAllMyFault are the roots of all and source to blame]]. Lucky also set into a mediocre life, contrasting his siblings, who now get billed as The Otogami Sextuplets, geniuses of the music world. Seeing this, his bedridden mother encourages Lucky to play piano and enroll in a musical school, both for proving Gakuon wrong and granting Lucky's own wish to play together again with his siblings on the same stage.

* AllThereInTheManual: The ''tankobon'' version of the comic and [[https://twitter.com/Mapollo3_off/ the official Twitter account]] often gives trivial info like characters setting, details of the excerpt that appears on a related chapter, or the song introduced in the current chapters. The Twitter account is open for Q&A sessions, as well, to provide some info that fans would like to know about the series.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Gakuon's solution to dealing with people he does not like is either simply crushing or banishing them from the musical world.

* ParentalAbandonment: This is what some of Otogami's kids feel towards their mother, Chouchou, after the divorce. Fanta outright claims that he hates her for abandoning him, and Shikato says he doesn't want to have any business anymore with her. Even Chouchou herself [[ItsAllMyFault is fully aware of this]].
* PyrrhicVictory: [[spoiler:Meloli hates the Otogami family for being geniuses, and Mimin the most out of all of them for the latter's obsession with playing freely. When she realizes that Mimin likes her playing style and sees her former self as her muse, Meloli decides to make Mimin hate playing the piano and quit the classical piano world. She gets her wish at the end of Mimin's arc...but when the girl quits, she's at peace and found new resolve in wanting to play the way she feels is right, rather than full of self loathing and frustration. Meloli wins the competition and Mimin gets disqualified, but the former is left completely unsatisfied.]]

* SoftReboot: The one-shot didn't have any correlation at all with the series at first. However, it becomes clearer that both stories are set in the same universe.[[note]]Meloli, the one-shot deuteragonist, has some cameos from the very start, and the name of the hospital (which Lucky's mother is in) presumably is the same hospital that Sadame's father owns or works in.[[/note]] Later it gets confirmed that ''Dadadadaan'' serves as the prequel to ''PPPPPP'' with the subsequent return of every one-shot character in later chapters.

* WhamEpisode: Chapter 22. [[spoiler:For all those years keeping himself unrelated to the famous Otogami musician, Lucky finally shows his side of the story via the song he plays in the music competition to many people and media. He calls this playing something that will really annoy his dad, Gakuon Otogami.]]

** On the students preliminary concour, Mimin played Chopin's ''Revolutionary Etude'' beautifully, succeeding in [[spoiler:both upstaging Furusu and]] garnering praises from the audience. However, the judges are not very pleased with her attitude of disrespecting rules and considering disqualifying her if it's not for his father's influence. Even ''Gakuon'' warns her not to break any more rules.

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Overlapping with ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections. Gakuon has an infamous habit of expelling people he dislikes in the music world.
