Annoyed he cannot find inspiration with his singing, Shuichi Shindou takes a break, but when the big boss comes in to tell him he has managed to book Bad Luck for a solo concert, Shuichi cannot control himself – the bad thing is it is in two days at Ruido where Nittle Grasper had their debut. Seeing it as fate, he agrees on behalf of the band but still has those feelings of inadequacy creeping into his mind. That stint on Quiz and Pop had a lot to do with it, and feeling rushed the rest of the band get on with it, it is only Shuichi's friend who really understands his ambitions enough to be able to take it easy and not worry like the others.

Shuichi later gets the shock of his life when he calls on Yuki and his brother Tatsua answers it, letting him in and telling him he is a fan of Nittle Grasper. Everything is going well until he sees Yuki and introduces a woman to him who Tatsua has been tracking down – Yuki's fiancĂ©e pre arranged by his family.
Whatever will Shuichi do now?

In this second volume, Shuichi realises he does not really know his true love, not when he has such a strange past and people who are a part of it he does not even know.Yuki is a person who does not easily take others into his confidence, so he will often leave Shuichi guessing as to his inner motives throughout their relationship.

Yuki's past is also one of interest to Shuichi, and his family's constant interference annoys him to the point of depression. It seems only Shuichi will be able to truly find out what happened early in his life.
The story is wonderful, the role of dependant lover Shuichi and independent cold guy Yuki is fun to watch, as is the sight of fans mobbing Shuichi in the train station.

Bonus Material: Art Gallery, Clean Opening and Closing titles and Trailers for other anime titles.

Verdict: Gravitation has got the coolest characters, and superb animation. The overall feel is one of unforgettable proportions. This is an anime I could watch again and again without tiring of it.
This is about two people in love with lots of complications!
