Bakuman (artist Takeshi Obata, writer Tsugumi Ohba) may not be among the top Japanese comics series (Death Note also by Takeshi Obata is certainly more popular) but it is one of the most important. It is a comic series about the Japanese comic industry. So it is like a movie about the movie industry, or a book about publishing books. It is not only entertaining but also highly educational, almost like a documentary.
In business we deal with people from many different industries. We tend to draw caricatures of people in those industries, based on our limited knowledge of them. Often there is more depth and more nuances than we realise. It is important to stay humble, so that we can learn from them and appreciate the expertise they have in their fields.
