I'm very lucky in the sense that my job requires me to read books, and that often those books I can get for free. The downside is that I barely have time to read most of the books I get unless there's a deadline to be met.

    Nope, not yet. It's hard to find a Lackey among the local shelves. I've see one or two, including the one you recommended.. I'm a regular at Recto's *ahem* book market and I hope to find one of her classics..

    Anyway, thanks. I'll make sure i read that one. :)

    Yes, I've seen it around six years ago. And being a kid right out of high school it was the first time I got exposed to anime dealing with homosexual relationships [aka shounen-ai and/or yaoi]. It was a shock. LOL. But what I like Gravitation is the story -- a lot happened in just thirteen episodes, which is why I do want to read the manga so I could understand the story more. I also love the characters -- Eiri and Tohma are my favourite, although I do love them all, even Maiko-chan, and Ryuichi is just psychotic love. There was a sort of prequel, or more like a pilot to the manga, I think it's called Help. In it, Eiri was named Tatsuha, and Ryuichi was Shuichi. Eheh. As for the webcomic that came out after volume 12, I haven't followed it, since it's mostly the same plot rehashed. I mean Gravitation is good, but for me, it ended in volume 12.
