Reception
Reviewing the first chapter of PPPPPP, Steven Blackburn of Screen Rant wrote that the conflicts seen in the manga are characteristic of successful shōnen series like Yūki Tabata's Black Clover and Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto, while commenting that there are other factors that "further hint at PPPPPP's likelihood of success", such as the incorporation of supernatural elements; Blackburn also stated, "In true shōnen-like fashion, this new [Weekly] Shōnen Jump manga doesn't rely on the reader's imagination to capture the power of music. Maporo 3-Gō makes it so that a moving melody can cause people to have visions."[6]
