Shuichi Shindou is an aspiring vocalist who wants to be seen in the public's eye. There, he sets off, creating the band "Bad Luck" along with his best friend Hiro Nakano and another musical partner, Suguru Fujisaki. But one night, while composing a new lyrics, the wind blew his paper and was caught by a handsome, blond man. That man was Yuki Eiri, a famous romance novelist. Immediately, Yuki criticizes the work of Shuichi, telling him that he has zero talent then leaves. Since that night, Shuichi is determined to find Yuki and explain his rudeness to him but by the force as strong as gravity, Shuichi inadvertently fell in love with Yuki. Rivals, scary fans, paparazzis and dark pasts seem to separate the two but the force of gravitation will always inexorably intertwined the two- whether they like it or not.
Gravitation is an anime based on Maki Murakami's manga of the same name. Gravitation includes eleven manga volumes, an OVA and a thirteen episode TV series. Even though the anime series is only thirteen episodes long, in that short period of time, more happens than one could ever imagine.
There are also two soundtracks, one for the OVA and one for the TV series, as well as an Audio Files CD, and multiple Sound Story CDs.
