Gravitation

Summary: Not Murakami's fault
Review: First of all, I just ADORE Gravitation. I love the story and the characters, especially Yuki ^_^. I didn't even really have a problem with the previous volumes' translations. However, the translating and editing in book 6 is horrible. The slang almost made me cringe (mainly Ukai's lines), the book repeatedly spelled cell phone, "cel phone", and there were times when the characters would refer to the wrong people (K would say Eiri, when it was Hiro doing the actions).

Despite all these problems, which were mainly in the first act, Gravi 6 is still a good volume. In the first act Bad Luck competes in a cooking competition in order to when a trip to Disneyland. This is one of Murakami-sensai's more crazy story lines, but it's still very funny. The second act is better, focusing on the outing of Yuki and Shuichi's relationship to the public (Yuki's so adorable in this act!) If you can get over the editing problems of the first act and already have the previous volumes, I'd definitly recommend Gravi 6 as well.

Summary: WARNING TO PARENTS: INDOCTRINATING TEENS TO HOMOSEXUALITY!
Review: The Gravitation series is nothing but an indoctrination of teens to homosexuality, pornography, & an anything goes attitude towards sex, disguised as a comic book.
