No, the manga has been ranking horribly for the latest arc, worst since pre-Kumagawa....

The barrage of color page promotion to help promote the anime is just a mirage, it has been ranking horribly, especially compared to the arc prior to it. The manga is safe though, especially with the anime airing and Bakuman finishing up.. but Nisio would want to reverse this trend.. especially if the manga tanks don't lift... they have been static in growth for a long time now... though considering that the anime is looking like a non-factor...
