So okay, I watched the anime when I was like 13 and was one of the first shows that introduced me fully into BL, honestly I never expected the manga to be such a MESS, that and unhinged. The anime really tricked me all thos years thinking it was more into absurd comedy, not psychological suffering with mechas and crude jokes all over the place. What a woman you are Maki Murakami, Gravitation is an unique experiencia, even tho a lot of manga from the 90's and 20's are CRAZY theres a lot that stands out here.
Yuki Eiri is probably one of the most engaging "semes" out there, how much his personality changes drastically because of his trauma , and how he comes into terms with it at the end, him being bitter, angry, but still having the capacity to care and change was a wild ride, I remember not being into Yuki much when I was younger, but oh boi, after looking how cute and vulnerable he can be I get the charm, he just wanted love without being seen just as a sex object.
I liked how he openly went to a Psychiatrist, amazingly enough, this manga shows that you can't cure this stuff with the power of love and even jokes about the idea, even when the story took weird takes on certain stuff, all the characters surprisingly grew healthier and more open minded, like Tohma letting go of Yuki to take care of his wife and kid, Fujisaki being so square and calling everyone pervert for being gay, Yuki's internalized homophobia and guilt.
Not perfect but I recognize the effort.
Shuichi and the gang are so crazy lol, but we love them for it, and you know they got each others backs, if they have to go to hell and back for one of their members, they'll do it, they'll joke and trash around, but they'll do it. Full respect on that.
So, yeah, basically if you have a soft spot for this idiots, the manga is more than worthy giving it a try.
Now I'm fully heading towards the sequel.
