"If you buy this thing('s ownership), I will get money.
If you sell this thing to someone else at higher price, you and I will get profit.
If someone else sell the same drawing to someone else, we still get profit!"
Where have I heard that before?

And be it shounen or josei, one thing that you should know about this manga is, the mangaka actually does a research on this manga. It might tickle you a bit to, maybe, kickstart something, but of course you need to read more than this manga to understand overclocking.
Another subplots in this manga are also not that common in shounen genre. Family matchmaking, doing side-job because overclocking doesn't pay you enough, also quitting OverClocking because OverClock isn't actually your forte, etc.
That's pretty much realistic take on life.
The only "shonen"-esque aspect from this manga is how the protagonist checks the progression of his overclocking by relying on his keen sense of hearing, because he's a musician.
With the common theme of competition and/or sports, you usually expect something exaggerated from a shounen manga. In that aspect, this manga is quite down to earth. You won't see dragon aura soaring to the sky from the computer. But you can see an excessive computer fan blowing.
