Description
From Tokyopop: Shuichi Shindou is determined to take his band Bad Luck to the top of the Japanese pop charts. With his drive, talent, and satiny singing voice, he just might stand a chance. But Fate throws a wrench into his well-oiled machine in the form of a handsome stranger named Yuki, a romance writer with an attitude. Yuki is Shuichi's biggest critic, but as the two young artists gravitate towards each other, friendship, and perhaps something more, is sure to blossom.
This is my most favorite manga of all time. I love it to death. My phone is personally customized to be ALL about it ( my cover is a Gravitation collage, my apps' pics are all gravitation, EVERY background pic i can change is gravitation.) so in short, ITS GREAT!!!!^-^
Long story short: beginning was awesome with the craziness, dragged on a bit bit new characters, more craziness, kept dragging on the plot through the mud, and at the end pissed me off so bad that I sold my entire manga collection to the nearest recycling bookstore. The fact that there was a sequel pissed me even more.
Beginning was great, but don't expect the ending have the same awesomeness as the beginning.
If you need something to make you smile, read this. The very open and almost rude way the character's interact is hilarious and I I was actually interested in the relationship (something I've been finding harder and harder to do with the BL genre lately). Could've used greater intensity on certain elements is my only complaint, though I do agree the New York arc was rather a fail, but again an intensity issue. (I should add when I mean intensity, I'm talking about the plot elements...)
I liked it... but I couldn't help getting frustrated. I found the series hard to follow from the beginning, and although it stabilized for a while, the New York arc onward was completely insane.... The plot seems rushed, and while that may be intended, I barely have time to remember a new character before they're gone for a bit...
A lot was assumed here, the reader does not have an omniscient point of view, we do NOT know the main characters' true intentions at all times. That may have been what I didn't like...
As Guilty said, the comedy does let the series down... it's just too slapstick most of the time.
However... I still read it. So, that says something, right?
I've finally been able to finish this after five years, since I first uncovered it. It had brought me into a whole new world called manga. This is by far one of my favourite series. It has it's highs and lows, but overall, there is a story there, and to me.. it was beautiful. It was funny, it was frustrating, it was warming, and it was sad. I highly recommend this series.
i couldnt keep laughing like crazy when i read this; how can She make this kind of out of the world humor i love the fact Mr. K carrying a gun everywhere, it makes me feel like Gravitation is like a military comics. well, i dont think there is yaoi in it, it;s only shounen ai. but i love the gravi remix; they are really yaoi based PWP.
well its a good manga i suppose. i thought it would deal more with the main character being a singer but its based more on just relationship between yuki and shuichi.... I definitely don't like how the sudden change of art style started...after volume 7 shuichi turned from a normal teenager to a girly little boy.........and so i never finished it.
Seriously i like but hate this manga at the same time. Yes the humor was good and i must say the drama roller coaster in Shuichi & Yuki's relationship was intense. BUT MAN how can Shuichi stay with Yuki the way he treats him?? Not only does he cheat, he is cold, mean, ignores him, and not once has he said I love you!?!?! But Shuichi seems to drool if he is shown one bit of affection...Is he a goddamn MASOCHIST or just plain straight dumb to take all that mental abuse I just wished their characters weren't soooo extreme because if i literally met people that had EITHER of their personality I would slap them and send them for therapy.
This is one awsome manga. It's filled with original, funny and wierd charaters, which make sure that you'r never bored. The story is very different than most shounen-ai. And it just keeps getting better and better as the story progresses, the art get's a lot better too. I love Murakamis random humor, in the end you just stop getting surprised when something insane suddenly happens. Not that it makes it less entertaning. And Shuichi is a very lovable main character, he really makes it's worth it all.^^ So cute.
Definetly a must read for anyone who needs a refreshing, hillarious and different shounen-ai.
What's not to be said about this series? It's funny, witty, and a love story. The constant change of emotion between the characters keeps you laughing (along with the quick dialogue adds a touch of humor to those who understand it.) An easy manga to follow and even for a 'boys love' manga, it's soft and pleasent to read. The only downside is the ever changing art. Right when you get used to the look and feel, it changes a bit with each volume. (This is not necessarily a bad thing and only shows improvement in the artists ability on their character.) When it comes down to it, this will either make you laugh or cry. (Either you love or hate it. There is no in between.)
