I couldn't agree more. Gravitation was my first yaoi and and my first manga! When the art style changed, my obsession nose dived. Not only because the story wasn't as good but because Shuichi began to look a little too young, if you know what I mean. This DJ was highly unnecessary and I've never looked at more than a few pages before getting bored and kinda angry.
I honestly love gravitation. But half way through the manga when the art style changed it went from being a serious story with an actual plot that didn't feel repetitive to a gag story that felt like it was on repeat and all the serious points of the first half was regurgitated back at us as a big fat joke. I absolutely hate it. I don't know what the mangaka was thinking. I'm so glad i watched the anime before I read the manga I don't think I would've invested time into the anime otherwise. I think its cool the author wrote their own doujin but this is a distasteful kind of yaoi. There's the kind of yaoi an author would write to add to the dynamics of a pairing like the webtoon raising a bat where the author drew a smut scene for the finale to show that the main couple now officially overcame the biggest obstacle in their relationship and now completely trust each other. Then there's the kind of yaoi this is, where its sole purpose is just to make money and be mindless smut.
