Well, I can see why Asano did this, and I know that this won't be the newers cup of tea certainly.

reiraku is a serious introspective on a mangaka's mature life on the real terms, not the "bakuman terms" or something, I loved Bakuman but, as time goes by one grow up enough to enjoy this kind of stories even more than the pink-coloured ones.

It is Asano, so it is written really well, you will be captivated and have no problem reading it in one go. I would only really suggest it to people who are interested in manga artists, ...
