Yuki's never been cuter!

Gravitation 12 as we all know is the last book in the Gravitation series ( not including EX ) 12 was hilarious,as all Gravi books are. The plot is up-beat and for once thought out. The art though, looks like they swapped artists ( it all started in 8)It's not terrible, but every charactor looks 11. Aside from that, the book was enjoyable. As for they're relationship, Shuichi and Yuki's love life is going smoothly. But of corse Shuichi thinks somethings up, and they get into fights, which causes total caos. But as for the ending, I thought it made a perfect ending to a perfect series. (Did I mention both Yuki and Shuichi are wearing rings on their left hands?) Hint hint. I believe it's a sign that they wed. (Not to mention, in EX, they go to New York, and when they return the press shows up stating ' They're back from their honeymoon!' ) Maybe its just my fan girl mind, maybe not. Either way, Yuki's never been cuter, and I loved this series. 5 stars!

unexpected and simply adorable

gravitation has been one of the funniest, craziest, and surprisingly entertaining series that i have ever read. although i felt it started kind of slowly, the story took off into something that is difficult to describe.for example, shuichi is the weirdest main character i have encountered, yet he has a lot of loveable charm as well. i for one was very pleased with the ending to gravitation, because what i expected to happen...didn't. i love being surprised, and i'm glad that what i was waiting for turned out differently, because shuichi's decision really made him into a better character and "person." overall, i was seriously happy with the end of this silly manga series.

It's the end, but have you really read it ALL?

Remember, Maki Murakami herself wrote the 12-volume Remix edition of Gravitation. Remix Gravitation stories are actually side stories that fit in with the regular Gravi series, only super super yaoi, & just as funny. Currently, discs of both translated & untranslated scans are available on Ebay & the books themselves can be perchaced in America from JPQueen (expencive) but if ever a DJ series was to be published in english like a manga, this would be it. (DJs aren't JUST fancomics, they also include legit sidestories from the original creators.) PS, I was surprised that Yuki was 'dating' that girl, K, & his brother all at the same time while moping over Shuichi being with Yuki. There are lots & lots more surprises in Remix Gravi than this!) SPECIAL NEWS! I recieved an email from Blu saying that they're taking Remix Gravitation into heavy concideration for translations, due to abundant requests. (Blu is associated with Tokyopop these days)

Yayyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look at me I'm the first to reveiw! In your faces! Although I must say I have not actually read this one I think the series is good and the idea is even better and I cannot wait to read this one no matter the crappy art quality or anything! Who's with me?

I can't believe it's over!

The climactic final volume to the immensly popular manga series by Maki Murakami! This one's fast paced and a little confusing. Ryuichi's motiviations are almost painfully slowly revealed. It turns out, he's been pushing Shuichi's buttons on purpose. When Shuichi discovers what he's been doing he is determined to finish the last song and crash Nittle Grasper's concert. K's back in the manager's seat, and it seems that just about everyone is putting their hand in a devious plot, even Fujisaki! Reiji reluctantly heads back to New York, but she won't be heading back alone... Yuki and Shuichi's relationship troubles continue to create angst, for both of them. Yuki Kitazawa's continuing hold on Eiri from beyond threatens to end their happiness. Eiri has to come to terms with his feelings, and it leads Shuichi to realize the last little piece of the puzzle regarding what happened between Eiri and Yuki, but I wouldn't feel right about spoiling the ending, so you'll just have to pick this title up and read for yourself. Not recommended for younger audiences, though there are no sex scenes in this volume. Of course, if you were uncomfortable with gay romance, you'd probably know that well before volume 12, so I guess it doesn't need to be warned.
