I'm enjoying Only Serious About You so much.
A simple slice of life manga about a couple raising a child that's both believable and sweet! Can't wait until the next volume~ ^__^

I love this series, nice to find some BL that is just sweet instead of insane and full of issues.

No problem, happens to the best of us.
I agree I would have loved a series this good to go on for longer, but hey at least it was short enough so you can love the whole thing immensely.

Oh, I hadn't realized this had been translated! I'm so glad, it deserves to reach a bigger audience.
I bought both volumes of this series in Japanese roughly... two years ago or so, and I've reread it so many times it's ridiculous. Due to this - and a couple of other works of hers - Asou-sensei is now my second-favourite BL mangaka. For the record, should anyone care, my favourite is Fujiyama Hyouta-sensei.
As mentioned in the review, the art might be slightly "simple", with the lack of backgrounds and stuff, but personally, I approve. Makes it easy to read, compared to a lot of manga, where everything's so detailed it gets cluttered and confusing. True, that's a phenomenon more often seen in shounen of the fantasy and/or sci fi variety, but it's something most my favourite BL works have in common, so I thought I'd put it out there. Besides, there's plenty background to set the mood of the story and the stage where it takes place.
Anyway, if you have the money and the time, buy this and read it, seriously. It's awesome.
P.S.
...shucks, I just reread Only Serious About You, and a story Asou-sensei did with Studio may.be, the other day. This made me wanna reread the rest of her stuff I own... For the umpteenth bajillion time. Now, where did I put those...?
