About the series
In the early 2000s, Tokyopop brought Maki Murakami's Gravitation to English-speaking readers, a shojo manga series that follows the passionate, messy journey of aspiring singer Shuichi Shindo and his turbulent romance with the stoic novelist Eiri Yuki. Blending the high drama of the music industry with a heartfelt love story, the series became a defining title of the Tokyopop era, celebrated for its emotional intensity and its unflinching portrayal of queer love in a mainstream manga. Running for 12 issues, it remains a beloved touchstone for fans of both '90s-style shojo and early yaoi/BL storytelling.
