| | AfterElton.com - Gay Love in Japanese Manga |
 | | The tagline for Gravitation reads, “Love: The one force that simply won't be denied,” a phrase that conjures up Brokeback Mountain's famous tagline, “Love is a force of nature.” But Gravitation is worlds apart from the realm of Jack and Ennis, although there are indeed parallels. |
 | | Manga often involve a “decompressing” style, or in other words, like soap operas, they tell a story over multiple issues in serial fashion. |
 | | Gravitation also falls within the category of shonen-ai, which literally translates to “young men's love,” and are manga or anime titles that deal with love between young men. |
