FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GRAVITATION TV SERIES COLLECTION

LOVE - THE ONE FORCE THAT SIMPLY WON'T BE DENIED! MADMAN RELEASES THE GRAVITATION TV SERIES COLLECTION ON DVD.

MELBOURNE, Wednesday, 01 March, 2006 – All Shuichi ever dreamed about was following in the footsteps of his pop idol. Together with his best friend Hiro, Shuichi's formed a band called Bad Luck and they've even managed to get signed to a major recording label. Unfortunately, the studio deadlines are looming and Shuichi still hasn't finished the lyrics for any of the songs. What he needs is a little inspiration... but he's been running a little low in that department lately. While Hiro recommends finding a girlfriend, fate has other things in store for him...

Walking through the park late one night, Shuichi's latest lyrics flutter away and land at the feet of a stunning stranger that takes his breath away. Unfortunately, that mysterious stranger happens to be the famous novelist Eiri Yuki, who completely crushes the young singer by telling him he has "zero talent". Now, Shuichi's so annoyed that he's managed to finish his song just so he can find and confront Yuki once again. But are his actions really motivated by anger, or has he actually fallen in love?

By popular demand and hundreds of signatures submitted to Madman by petition, GRAVITATION is finally available on DVD in Australia! This is Madman’s first yaoi release. Yaoi, being romances set between two men, is a genre hugely popular with both guys and girls. With a massive cult following, GRAVITATION was rated as one of the best romantic anime of all time by Anime Insider magazine. Now you can own the whole series with this brand new 3 DVD set!

Keep your eye out for Madman’s range of GRAVITATION t-shirts and plushies - coming soon!
