Gravitation: Lyrics of Love, which is like watching a bad rom-com crash headfirst into a boy band concert, and it's just as gloriously messy as it sounds. Shuichi Shindo, our endlessly optimistic and incredibly small front man bumbles through life with the grace of a caffeinated squirrel, constantly screaming his feelings and tripping over his own ambition. His love interest, Eiri Yuki, is a walking emotional iceberg, alternating between brooding silence and scathing sarcasm. They do not mix, they shouldn't mix, and yet... they try to mix.
