The art-based anime called Bakuman does a great job of showing what is involved in how the manga is created. It was created by writer Tsugumi Ohba and artist Takeshi Obata, the duo responsible for Death Note, so it goes without saying much because they already have a lot of experience in the manga industry.

Bakuman follows manga artist Masahiro Moritaka and writer Takagi Akito, who collaborate to develop a manga. This art anime series highlights the dangers of making manga, such as competition with other artists, rejection, and especially overwork. A live-action film adaptation was released in 2015.
