Coming home from a tour, rock star Shuichi Shindo finds his boyfriend, novelist Eiri Yuki, missing from his apartment, and becomes worried when he finds out a woman had been stalking Eiri.
This book is not the most well written, it almost seems as if you are reading fanfiction but if you are a fan of the series I think you can get through it and maybe have some fun with it to near the end. Ymmm Chocolate

About the same level of quality as the previous Gravitation novel, which is to say it was cutesy but not terribly great. The extremely animated behaviour of the characters, as usual, does not translate well to text. The hijinks of this plot were slightly more entertaining than the previous novel, but the resolution left much to be desired.
This novelization shares the same issues as the first. Many timeline inconsistencies, and poor characterization. Manga Yuki, and even his animated counterpart, are both more likeable than the Yuki of this novel. He has his soft moments everywhere else but in the novel we only see his cold side, his sexual side, and then he’s cold again. There’s no glimpse of the softer side of him, like the hints given in other adaptations that keep you from wanting to strangle him lol
Overall, this is basically just an officially published fanfiction that sounds like it’s written by somebody with only a wikipedia page worth of knowledge of the characters and plotline.
Esse livro é ao mesmo tempo babaca e divertido (como o mangá). Shuichi é idiota demais para ser um personagem crível, Yuki é relativamente interessante, Hiro é bem superficial, mas até que a novel explorou ele um pouco mais. Os conflitos são idiotas, e a relação dos dois permanece estacionada no "indefinido" (por um lado é interessante, por outro parece desperdício). É um livro ruim, mas me diverti lendo.
As someone who has read all 13 manga and watched all of the anime, I absolutely loved this book. I would definitely recommend it to any Gravitation fan. I thought it translated nicely into a novel. It's not really a novelization of the manga, but more of a side story. If you haven't seen the anime or read the manga, you probably won't enjoy it as much, or at all.
