I have read and enjoyed A DRIFTING LIFE (as well as some of Tatsumi's   
   other works) but not heard of the other one. Thanks.   
      
   The BAKUMAN anime is fun, and benefits from the time spent slowly   
   building up the characters. Despite being slightly goofy, it does   
   cover a lot of ground in terms of depicting (I assume) common   
   problems faced by people trying to draw manga professionally.   
   The depiction of Eiji Nizuma in the anime is particularly great.
