Seven Seas Entertainment has announced the license acquisition of the BL manga series Gravitation: Collector’s Edition by Maki Murakami. First published in English by TOKYOPOP but long out of print, the property began in 1995 and was serialized in Kimi to Boku before wrapping up with twelve volumes originally and six volumes in the complete edition done up years later.
The first volume will be released in April 2024 for $24.99 USA / $32.99 CAN, with the series available in large-trim omnibus editions as part of the Seven Seas BL label (Boys’ Love titles). Ebook editions will also be available on digital platforms.
Plot Concept: Shindou Shuichi is a young, energetic, and optimistic rockstar wannabe. He’s in a band with his best friend and is determined to top the charts. When a romance novelist named Eiri Yuki criticizes his lyrics, Shuichi takes it badly and wants to make Yuki eat his words…but as he starts to follow Yuki around, Shuichi falls hard for him. Yuki, despite his cold and prickly demeanor, even seems to like Shuichi back! Still, Yuki has a past full of trauma that he’s never fully faced, and Shuichi discovers that succeeding in the music biz might cost him his soul. Can these two very different men support each other and make this relationship work?
