Brian Ashcraft:
K-On! originally debuted as a manga, and it then went on to spawn an anime, a feature film, and a video game. It's a pretty popular series, so when it's copied, people tend to notice!
The latest issue of Jump Next features up and coming manga. New comic "Ooedo Punk", which did get some good reviews online, sports some K-On! style eyes and facial expressions that match up with a still from K-On!.
This might be an all out copy, or it might be subconscious. Whatever it is, don't say "lazy".

btw, it seems like the new manga is based in Hyouka and not K-on...
