Similar stories, students wanting to be the best at something (Go for Hikaru no Go and Manga for Bakuman). They have rivals that are better than them, though the main characters practice a lot to reach their dream. Even though the stories are about Go and Manga, there is a lot of character drama in each.
Takeshi Obata does the illustrations for both manga series.

Both Hikaru no Go and Bakuman are series about following your dreams and becoming a professional at an unconventional career. Both series feature the protagonists trying to live up to and become better than a prodigy in their field and are pretty motivational stories about chasing after your dreams.
Not only that, but both feature art by Obata, which is always a plus.

Both have rival characters that are ahead of the main character in their respective fields. The Go battle somewhat is similar to the weekly rank battle.

Piece of life kind of manga. They both tell us about a journey to become the best and how they suffer through the road.
Great art by same manga artist, Takeshi Obata who is also the managa artist who made death note.
Stories about chasing dreams. Both main characters are very passionate and determined about their dreams (Mashiro being manga artist, Hikaru becoming pro Go player). Both Hikaru and Mashiro efforts fueled by their wish to surpass their rivals (Nizuma and Toya) and both have partner who always support them (Takagi and Sai). Hikaru no Go have more serious atmosphere, Bakuman is more comedic. If you like Bakuman, you will probably like Hikaru no Go too.

The goal that the main characters want to achieve is very similar in both manga. They are both students who want to become the best at what they do (go and manga making). The determination they have is very big and will make you want to give your all at life everyday. The art on both manga was also done by the same artist, so that might be a plus point too.
