The anime is much more about the process of making the comics, and the tension between wanting to reach people with your art and be popular and selling out. The comic exaggerates all the wackiness and drops all the character development and quieter moments. On second thought, after re-reading it, it was more the anime that I liked.

The concept of the shy artists that pour their emotions into their work really speaks to me. I think it probably helps that Sekihiko Inui got his start in doujinshi, and is still involved in them. It somehow seems sincere to me, despite the exaggeration, in a way that some other comics where the protagonist wants to excel at activity X don't. Or maybe I'm just a sucker for simple stories.
