Gravitation-the BEST shounen-ai manga ever!!! so dramatic!!!,
By Kira Smith-Butland (Lansing, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gravitation, Book 4 (Paperback)
I'll start off by saying that Gravi (short for Gravitation) is by far and away the best manga I've ever read. Period. One note, though. This is defenitely a shounen-ai manga, and if you don't know what that means, I'll help you out. It means Guys Love, as in gay relationships. So all you homophobes out there, this is a major no-no. Anyway, in case you haven't read Gravi, you really suck. Just kidding. The story is, basicly, an 18 year old singer-Shuichi Shindou(or Shu-chan, as I'll call him)-meets a writer-Eiri Yuki-who trashes Shu-chan's lyrics,and many things happen, like Shu-chan meeting his idol, Shu-chan falling in love with Yuki, Shu-chan moving in with Yuki, Shu-chan losing his virginity (hee-hee), and so on. Before volume 4, the story leaves off with Yuki saying that he's going to end their relationship after Shu-chan goes on a game show, and people start to suspect a connection between the two of them. So, as not to spoil anything, Taki Aizawa (the lead singer of ASK, a competitive band to Bad Luck, Shu-chan's band) does some really horrible things to Shu-chan, who shows his love for Yuki by putting Yuki's reputation before his own. Yes, volume 4 is a big-time tear jerker. In case you don't know, Shu-chan IS a bit of a crybaby, but to see him really cry is rather, well, heart breaking. I found myself crying 2 or 3 times, every time I read it. I'm not going to tell you the rest-you're going to have to read it on your own to find out what happens. The characters are phenomenal. They care sooo much for each other, and you will care for them just as much. I cannot stress enough what a great manga this is, so go read it yourself. Please enjoy Gravitation for all it's worth, and tell me if this review helped you or not. To all otaku, peace, love, and anime forever.

Shuichi chan!,
By Jessica M. Henn (Rockvile, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gravitation, Book 4 (Paperback)
I've read all of the mangas to date (1-4), and I gotta say that this is most definately the darkest of them all. At the end of the last volume, Maki Murakami leaves us hanging with Yuki saying "That will be all she wrote. Sayonara." This volume picks up pretty much exactly where we left off, except that Shu chan is now awake. Yuki tells him to move out, and Shuichi is left sad and confused. The break up effects his singing, of course, which is not good for N-G records, and Sakano is left to try and reason with Yuki. Meanwhile, Taki Aizawa, the lead singer of the rival band ASK, has Shuichi raped and takes pictures to use as blackmail. Shuichi doesn't care about himself, but begs them to leave Yuki alone. Hiro is enraged by what they did to Shu chan, so goes and tells Yuki what happened. It turns out, Yuki does have a heart!! Yay! To make a long story short, we finally get Shuichi to dress up like a school girl, and Ayaka is out of the picture. Also, we finally learn the deep dark secret about Yuki's past. This is a really great manga, but not for those with weak constitutions...whatever that means.... Oh!! And they changed Yuki's brother's name!!! Now I'm confused!!! Do I call him Tatsuha or Tatsuho?!?!

Gravitation,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gravitation, Book 4 (Paperback)
Hm... not as sexual as the previous volumes, but there's more background info given for the ever mysterious Eiri Yuki. There's alot of places in the book where Shuichi's antics make you have to put it down and burst out laughing and then go back to reading it. Well, not all of the time.... There is a part that makes you wonder if Shuichi is truely mentally retarded. Your heart goes out to Yuki for putting up with it all... Plus, the artwork is so much better than the last volumes!(especially the characters' eyes and profiles) I think Murakami said something about her mom helping out with some of the drawings. There's one drawing on Track 14 of Hiroshi that makes him look totally hot and dangerous! ^_^
