Japanese audiences can be pretty rigid about watching/reading the "right" (for their demographic) publishing houses.
I find both series pretty funny, but for different reasons. To me, this is one of those works that got picked up by the "wrong" publishing demographic but the humor lays in the overlap between "shounen" and "seinen".

Perhaps so.
It boggles my mind as to how the Seinen shows can sometimes beat Shonen stuff. It boggled my mind in the 90's and it still does.. Shows the variety of demographics I guess.
