I've only read volume 1, but i noticed from looking at the covers that the style changes alot and eventually changes to what we are used to in the anime. I also noticed that Shuichi's hair color changed from purple in the manga to pink in the anime.. o_O

I've seen the entire anime TV series, but i still need to get my hands on the OVA.. T.T

My favorite character is Ryuichi! X3

I've seen the anime but haven't read the manga. I don't know if I could read the manga because the music is awesome. That makes the show to me. You just can't capture the music in the manga. I know I'll get shot for this but I can't stand Yuki. I don't care about his past. He's still a jerk.

Shining Collection is my favorite. For some reason I liked the bacground music track called "Eating" from the OVA a lot.

As a massive hater of Gravitation I begrudgedly admit that the music rocks. Other than that though, worst anime evar. *flees*

I actually heard of Gravitation from a friend of mine(hes a boy) He said it was great but when it was about 2 gay guys I wasn't interested. Then he let me borrow manga and now I'm obsessed. My favorite song is Spicy Marmelade. My fav character is Eiri and Ryuichi, thats no surprise, I always fall for the bishonen or beseinen. My friend also gave his ova dvd since he had 2, and (technically) I own vol. 1-5 (I downloaded them off a website) Strangely, shuichi's hair changes in alot of places: Like you said its purple in the manga, its red in the OVA, its pink in the anime, and in later manga he dyes it platnium then black then blonde.

Thats just how rockstars do.

My sister's favorite character is Kei! ( how is that a spoiler? o_O )

Yeah, i happened to notice it was red in the ova because of the screencaps i saw.. o_O I didn't know about the later part of the manga because i haven't been able to read it all yet.. ( i'm trying to save up for it but i need money for alot of things so it's not that easy.. )

I've read two books of the manga and still can't decide whether to keep going. Murakami-san needs to find another joke other than "LOL RAPE HURR." Because it's getting old. But on the other kind, there's much more K. Hmm.

The anime is my second favorite ridiculous BL fluff, next to the gloriously ridiculous BL fluff that is Fake. It's addictive. And cranky characters are always fun.

Favorite song is "Sleepless Beauty," actually. 8-)

I love gravitation.
I've seen the series and OVA and I'm also reading the manga. It IS really addictive, the comedy specially, makes it all worth it.
My favourite character is Yuu-chan. He's just another electronica-loser, DTM failure, emotional kid just like me. And I also love to see him go berserk ^_^

My favourite song is Blind Game Again, his vocals shine there.
Ja na.

Everytime I try to think about what other yaoi anime series there are I always come up with Gravitation. There are alot of yaoi manga but not a real anime series. Even thou Gravitation only has 13 episodes.

It's also not yaoi. It's shounen-ai, or BL. Thank you, please try again.

Also, uh... Level C? Ai no Kusabi? Gravitation is just the most common BL gateway drug. It's by no means the only one.

Yep, very correct. Alot of people consider any Shouenen-ai series nowadays to be Yaoi.

Differences-

Shounen-Ai - Boy Love or BL, usually just a simple romantic b-b relationship.

Yaoi - Explicit romantic b-b relationships usually using almost no story plot and it's usually just full of two or more boys making out.


To tell the truth, i really can't think of any Yaoi anime either. I can name two Shounen-Ai off the top of my head: Gravitation and Loveless.
I can name some Yaoi manga though: Yellow, Only the Ring Finger Knows, and Single Cell Organism, among many more. (i've only read Yellow though, but i noticed from looking online that the covers were marked Yaoi and rated 18+ so yeah.. > >)

In the case of Shounen-ai, i prefer Gravitation over Loveless. It just seems alot better to me..


Here's a weird story. I was reading the Gravitation novel the other day, and my mom saw the cover and it had Eiri and Shuuichi on it, and she said "Are you reading a story about fags again!?" and i said "No mom, it's a story about a famous novelist's life and an upcoming music artist's life. The cover just shows the two of them, but it's nothing gay-like." She walked away, and about an hour later, sis had called her friend over to watch Gravitation on the TV with her. Mom came out and started watching it, and realized that it was the same characters from the novel (they were kissing by this point), and said "Ahh! Fags! You lied! You're a fag! >XD"
o_O ( my mom is weird, lol )

ok I see thats its shonen-ai not yaoi but if you do me like that again i will start somthing(I have an extremely short fuse)You could have just said:"Its just shonen-ai not yaoi" and i would have said "sorry, my bad" but that was just rude. I also said that's the only one I could think of. I did not say it was the only one
