Takarajimasha's Bessatsu Takarajima Manga to Zukai de Wakaru Drucker book has now sold over 500,000 copies since it went on sale last November. Like Natsumi Iwasaki's Moshi Kōkō Yakyū no Joshi Manager ga Drucker no Management o Yondara novel and its Moshidora anime series and live-action film adaptations, Takarajimasha's book is based on the productivity tips of Austrian-American management guru Peter Drucker.
