History YMMV / PPPPPP

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Manga about music generally tend to be a hard sell because of their focus on music in a soundless medium, but this manga was starkly different from the usual output of ''Magazine/ShonenJump''and what the magazine's primary audience is used to reading. In a magazine that is known for gag comedies and hot blooded action, ''PPPPPP'' is a slow paced family drama with heavy focus on character exploration. The art, while beautiful in its capacity to create surreal scenes and landscapes, is also quite unusual for shonen manga, with character designs that break from the norm a lot, making it even harder to get interest from the main readership of the magazine. Strong visuals and character writing ultimately earned the manga a lot of appreciation among fans and its own fanbase, but it never managed to attract enough people to leave the very bottom of ''Jump'''s charts. Despite strong critical reception, the manga was ultimately cancelled in its 70th chapter.

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: Because of its unorthodox subject, strange character designs, and unknown author, the series was initially dismissed by many Jump readers as "cancellation fodder". But the series' unique aesthetic and strong character writing gradually won people over, which caused the first volume to get multiple reprints and let the series grow a devoted fanbase.
** While not exactly winning, the series has high enough votes to be included in the top 5 series on [[https://tsugimanga.jp/winner/2022/comics.html the annual Next Manga Award 2022]].
** Sadly, this never came to be realized, as the manga was canceled at Chapter 70, which left the series with eight volumes in total.

** Lucky's take on "The Joyful Island" is not only an answer to Meloli's "Pavane for a Dead Princess", it's a full on ''dirge'' for Mimin as a professional pianoist. Whereas Meloli's "Pavane" [[spoiler:was performed in a way to snuff out Mimin's love for the piano and twist Mimin's desire to save her]], Lucky's "Joyful Island" doesn't even challenge the point; it simply offers her a reprieve and a sense of catharsis that only she can access, far away from everyone else who hears it, like he's giving his "dead princess" sister her own personal Heaven while everyone else can only "drown". [[spoiler:Unsurprisingly, Mimin quits competitive classical piano altogether after this, though not without her own personal goodbye.]]

** Chapter 46, in particular, makes their make up scene looks like true RelationshipUpgrade. Mimin asks Sorachika what is the feeling he understood from Meloli's piece, and he says that it is a plea for Mimin to choose her and a declaration of her love. The two then are alone in a balcony, both say they love each other and are hugging

Which made it all the more surprising as the series unique aesthetic and strong character writing gradually won people over, earning the first volume multiple reprints and a devote fanbase.

** There are some fans who think of Rock as a girl on his first appearance due to his GirlishPigtails despite clearly wearing a male uniform.

** It is also not unusual to see fans cut the septuplets name to the musical note when talking about the series, such as Reijiro becomes Re or Mimin becomes Mi.
