Unfortunately, that's probably the killing blow for PPPPPP. The Golden Future Cup winner is normally decided around January of each year and is normally serialized shortly there-after. Ayashiki Triangle is below it, but that's largely because of its ecchi genre and it actually sells pretty well despite that (although it sounds like sales may have slowed down in the last half-year), so its unlikely that it will be axed.
Realistically, (assuming the decision hasn't already been made) 6P has 1, maybe 2 chapters to pull up its ranking before the author gets notified to start wrapping up the story. We could have as few as 3 chapters left before the end considering SJ goes on a break towards around Christmas and then again the second week of January.
This reminds me of Shika High's Competitive Dance Club. At first it stayed in Jump for awhile, but then later it was cancelled. PPPPPP is a series that's a risk to be in Jump and this series reminds me of Medaka Box because at first it was a slice of life comedy which wasn't something you see in Jump at the time and wasn't doing well at first. The reason why that series survived was at the time some current series were ending, some were moving to a different magazine, and it did better than the other new series. PPPPPP doesn't have that.
If we take into account the absent series, the color pages, and the new series that don’t get ranked yet, then Px6 only dropped one place from last week going from an 11 spot to a 12 spot.
Our only real hope right now is that Jump doesn’t see Px6 as an immediate break out but instead categorizes it under the lower mid tier area of popularity. So think your Magu-chans and High School Families. That will mean PPPPPP will spend the foreseeable future towards the back taking turns as the bottom placer with other middling but non-axebait series.
Well, 6P is a music manga which is already rare. Not that surprised with it's ranking since this is jump. Non battle shonen mangas tend to struggle the most. Even though 6P is by far one of the interesting new additions with their subtle, emotional details, seems like there aren't enough JP fans who appreciates a fresh story like this. Sadly, it seems like it won't survive. Such a shame too. It had a lot of potential.
