Summary: I Love Yuki!
Comment: Gravitation is one of the best shounen-ai manga I've read. Full of bishies, comedy and angst, Gravi is a great story that centers around the relationship of the sweet, hyper Shuichi and cold, brooding Yuki.
The art in the book is a little sketchy, but one you get used to it, it's very fasinating. Murakami-sensai has a habit of sticking comments and other tidbits in her drawings, which makes Gravi all the more fun to read. That, plus the fact that Yuki Eiri is very fun to look at ^_^.
I don't have any major problems with the translation; however, I do wish that they had kept all the honorifics and the Japanese name order. Eiri Yuki just doesn't roll of the tongue the way Yuki Eiri does.
I'm also aware that some people dislike the way Yuki treats Shuichi. Yuki is harsh with Shuichi mainly because he's trying to protect himself from being hurt again. Besides, Yuki's cruel attitude just makes the times he's kind to Shuichi that much more sweet.
Overall, Gravitation is fun and interesting series for people who want to try shounen-ai manga. There's nothing to graphic or hardcore (at least to my knowledge)and the story outside Yuki and Shuichi's relationship is pretty entertaining as well.

Summary: Still Good
Comment: Although the art style here changes from the first volume, it's still vibrant and lively nonetheless. There is some sexual content here, but they don't let you actually SEE anything, so it isn't R rated stuff... Some of the scenes between Yuki and Shuichi, for example, can be quite confusing if you don't understand what it is that they're doing... ^-^; Eh heh...

Summary: Long live Gravitation
Comment: I personally love Gravitation. The art is nice, and you'll notice that unless you're some kind of art critic. The characters are very likeable, though many dislike Yuki's treating of Shuichi. There IS a reason behind that. Yuki is not just a selfish bastard. In his past something happened to him that changed him forever. So please don't go around assuming that the romance between Shuichi and Yuki isn't going to change.
Gravitation also has a lot of great humor and plenty of bishies from Tohma to Hiro to Sakuma (okay, so maybe I'm the only one who thinks Sakuma's a bishie...) and of course, Shuichi and Yuki.
In this volume, things get really heated up. If you just like fluff, and light fluff at that, you will be whacked in the head by this book. As hinted at the preview of this volume in book 1, Yuki and Shuichi's relationship goes farther. This IS rated 16+ for a reason. If you believed that Gravitation was going to stay at 13+, it really doesn't.
One of the awesome things about this volume is the conflict between Shuichi and Hiro. Hiro's going to become a doctor, so he tells Shuichi that he has to quit playing as a guitarist. A lot more of Hiro's character is revealed in this book and who wouldn't want to know more about this bish? There's also the introduction of Yuki's brother, Tatsuha. ^_~
This book is filled with humor, and hot romance. I seriously suggest getting it.
