Average Rating: 
Rating: - Jumping the Shark
Gravitation has always been a bit over the top but I think this volume pushes it a little too far. In my opinion it detracted from the series a bit. The serious aspect of the plot (yuki's traumatic past) and the goofy aspect of the plot (mega panda? wtf) just don't seem to blend. There were some great moments, so it wasn't a total let down, but I think the plot has gone way too wacky. There of course will be some people that enjoy this, but personally its not what I was hoping for.
Rating:  - It's Gravitation
Art is one thing that throws me off a Manga. And the art is horrible. Though alot more graphic then the Anime (which is upsetting), I think the Anime wins hands down. The Manga is lacking in a few things and it's confusing but still worth it for a Fan of Yaoi.
Rating:  - WARNING: MAY CAUSE TOLERANCE OF OTHER HUMAN BEINGS
I am surprised by the review below. Allowing young adults, and adults alike, exposure to these shonen-ai and shojou-ai sources provides hope for a more understanding world. This idea of acceptance is an earlier theme in the Gravitation series. Gravitation has opened eyes to different ways of life, and gives identifiable characters to real people through the use of humor. It is the only graphic novel series that I have bought, and it is one of my favorite anime series. Shonen-ai is a genre that ... Read More
Rating: - Not Bad, But Last Volume Better
In all honestly, I adrore Gravitation but this volume was a slight let-down in a way. Starting from here or so, things just start to get a silly. Gravitation is meant for a few laughs, but this volume just pushes it over the edge a bit.
There are a few cute scenes with Yuki and such in them, and it opens quite a few new possibilities but some of the less important scenes tend to get in the way.
The artwork is changed a little bit if you dig through it and you can tell where ... Read More
Rating: - Where Reiji-sama reigns supreme
Well, this is Gravitation and I'd be surprised if you read the first 8 volumes and then suddenly stopped.
In any case, Reiji remains a main character and actually has a few cuter moments. There's more mass destruction and more insane hilarity in this volume that we've (hopefully) come to love. If you're entertained by Gravitation's humor, you will not be dissapointed. However, I wish there had been more of a focus on Yuki and Shuichi's relationship and I must admit that I despise Shuichi's ... Read More
