Or maybe not, depending on if it's done right.

I was searching http://findarticles.com for articles about fanfiction, and came across Adult Manga: Culture & Power in Contemporary Japanese Society, a book review. It says:

The most significant innovation in this period was the creation of a new politically conservative adult manga sub-genre called information manga (joho manga). As a result of this new pro-establishment sub-genre, the manga industry gained a more respectful and stable position within Japanese society, which aided in the revival as well as in the modernization of national businesses and institutions.

I've never heard of this genre before, but then I only dabble in anime. Does anyone here know anything? If not, I'll find out about it and get back to you guys.
