& The OVA. (Gravitation: Lyrics of Love)

I still think Yuki's a jerk-face. *hmph* He uses his "I have a dark past" as a reason to be a cold prick- and he barely changes in the anime; in the manga it's a bit more noticeable that he DOES love Shuichi. Eventually.

I read the manga around the end of last year- after all these years of wanting to collect them- and watching the anime has been another "otaku dream" of mine since 2006ish. :O *gasp* I did something I've always wanted to since I first learned where these random characters were from- lots of screen shots had been "hovering" around on the internet.

I'm SO happy! (Now to try to find the OTHER novel TokyoPop published for this series that I don't have- I do own one, but not the other.) DX

I won't lie, I'm not completely satisfied with the way the anime did the story. The manga had more gags, and Shuichi looked more like an actual dude until later on when realizing he was hot/"in love" for Yuki.
I feel they RUSHED to get to the- "Yuki emotionally abuses Shuichi"- relationship parts. (Totally a "hot then cold" relationship the whole way through; and since the anime version is so short, it really kills the impact of Yuki being cold working on making you feel anything. In the manga, you feel it- but only the first two times or so. Sheesh- make up your mind- damn!)

Also, I didn't really get excited while watching this series as much as I thought I would. White Album 2 did A LOT better at making one's heart race anxiously. I COMPLETELY RECOMMEND WATCHING IT- IF YOU HAVEN'T GO GIVE IT A SHOT!
