Gravitation, created by Maki Murakami, is a Boys Love manga that ran from 1996 to 2002 in the shoujo magazine Kimi to Boku. For many years it was known as one of the few mainstream BL manga and anime series out there, partly because of the non-explicit nature of the romance between the two main male characters, and also because it had an actual plot to it instead of the Plot? What Plot? typical of many BL series at the time.Shuichi Shindou wants, above all, to find success as a singer in his band Bad Luck along with his best friend Hiro. But life has something else in store for him: While walking through a park at night, the song lyrics he had been working on are blown out of his hand, and picked up by a tall, blond, and snarky stranger who mercilessly criticizes them. A hurt Shuichi is determined to track down the stranger (later found to be famous romance novelist Yuki Eiri) and demand an apology. But wouldn't you know it, he finds himself being strangely attracted to him by that unstoppable force called gravitation...The rest of the series is about Bad Luck's rise to fame and the development of the rocky relationship between hyper Shuichi and emotionally cold Yuki who has a dark past of his own. They break up and get back together as the series continually seesaws between angst and comedy, but the gravitational pull of love keeps them together in the end, in spite of, or maybe because of, their vastly different personalities.Gravitation was first adapted into a two episode OVA series in 1999, and then later remade into a 13 episode anime series that aired from 2000 to 2001.Not to be confused with Gravion, nor with a famous textbook on General Relativity by Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler, nor with Jason Rohrer's videogame.

 Gravitation (Manga) / int_1282bf4f
comment
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Not in the standard sense, but both Bad Luck and Nittle Grasper both contain blatant Homages to actual musicians: Nittle Grasper has the most direct example with Tohma, who is a very obvious◊ Captain Ersatz Expy of Daisuke Asakura and Ryuichi is suspiciously similar to Hiroyuki Takami, the other member of access, a Real Life music group Murakami's circle was well known for writing Yaoi Doujinshi about prior to Gravitation. Tohma and Ryuichi look nearly identical to the way Daisuke and Hiro were drawn in the doujinshi.◊ Bad Luck shares a similar origin: their designs are recycled from the yaoi doujinshi that Murakami's circle also drew◊ about B'z, and have the same positions in Bad Luck as their Real Life inspirations. This influence became more of an artifact once Suguru was added and Shuichi's design became influenced by T.M.Revolution.

comment
Rape as Drama: Shuichi is gang-raped on the orders of rival musician Taki Aizawa in order to protect Yuki's reputation. But though Shuichi suffers physical injuries over it and has serious angst over it, he gets over the ordeal relatively quickly. The fact that he's able to do so makes Yuki cry for the first time in six years.

Sympathetic Murder Backstory: Yuki killed someone but it was in self-defense, they were trying to rape him. This trope is actually Invoked in-universe when he reveals it because he does so in an effort to repel Shuichi. It only makes Shuichi like him more.

Rearrange the Song: The Gravitation TV-tracks soundtrack consists of multiple versions of the four vocal tracks ("SUPER DRIVE", "Glaring Dream", "Sleepless beauty" and "THE RAGE BEAT"), with one piano/synth version and one electronica-based remix alongside the main version ("SUPER DRIVE" also receives a variant on acoustic guitar.) The "sacred beauty air mix" of "Sleepless beauty" was turned into a vocal version in the anime, when Ryuichi sings to crash Bad Luck's concert.

Pilot: Gravitation is an expanded rewrite of an earlier doujinshi series by Murakami, collected under the title of Help! It was about a singer named Ryuichi Sakuma and how his relationship with novelist Tatsuha Uesugi affected his work in his band, Nettle Grasper. Ryuichi and Tatsuha were used as the basis for Shuichi and Yuki as well influencing the characterization of their namesakes in Gravitation. Secondary characters from Help! were moved into Gravitation without any real changes to their names or personalities. Short chapter summaries of Help! can be found here.

Shout-Out
 Gravitation (Manga) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The series is built on this trope, and becomes immensely more enjoyable when you know exactly what is being referenced and why. The most obvious is Bad Luck and Nittle Grasper's origins (see No Celebrities Were Harmed above). The storyline about Shuichi obsessing over going to Disneyland with Yuki (and chanting "Mickey " repeatedly) is one enormous shout-out to Daisuke Asakura's well-known love of all things Mickey Mouse. There's also a glance at an Oricon chart featuring S.M.Revolution. Features a character named Yoshiki in a series featuring part of the Japanese music scene who just happens to be transgender, though if Yoshiki's name is really a shout-out, YMMV on whether it’s meant to be a positive Shout-Out or more of a Take That! to X Japan and/or Visual Kei.

Slap-Slap-Kiss
 Gravitation (Manga) / int_d1cedb73
comment
Slap-Slap-Kiss: Much of Shuichi and Yuki's interaction in the first episode consists of Shuichi yelling at Yuki that he has no right to insult his lyrics and Yuki coolly responding that he really has no talent, climaxing in a kiss. Interestingly, this Will They or Won't They? phase is much shorter than typical because Shuichi from then on becomes completely devoted to Yuki, who plays the part of the cranky but ultimately protective lover. 80% of Shuichi and Reiji's interaction boils down to this, but with grudging acknowledgment rather than actual kissing save for one incident where she finally gave up on him.

comment
Updated Re-release: The infamous Remix, doujinshi by Murakami and her doujin circle, that is far more explicit than the original series. And then the Megamix series, which is even more so.

comment
Art Evolution: Compare earlier volumes of the manga with later ones and it becomes very obvious. The sudden improvement happened to coincide with the author acquiring a troop of assistants. It goes even further. Compare the last chapter of the original manga to the last released chapters of Gravitation Ex. The style seems to devolve into in very simplistic style by comparison, though this may have been an indication of her eventual hiatus.

Stupid Sexy Flanders: Shuichi might be a victim with a notoriously open mind, considering how he never shows any interest in men except for Yuki; particularly in the manga, where he actually has some brief displays of interest in women.
