Gravitation, Volume 7 Book

We finally learn why people were so concerned that Shuichi's rape was going to be traumatic for Yuki: Yuki was attacked and almost raped when he was a teenager, and he killed one of the men attacking him. So it's still all about Yuki, and his trauma and his angst, and how poor Shuichi is going to have to somehow heal him while also making it to the top of the Japanese music charts.

I really dislike most of the characters in this. Tohma Seguchi is one of the worst; he's in love with Yuki but married his older sister, which is just twenty kinds of creepy. He's also super manipulative and uses people all the time. Yuki is no prince; I give him credit for at least seeking psychological help, but he's still a complete asshole to Shuichi. There is absolutely no reason Shuichi should be as madly in love as he is, except for the idea of destiny, or "gravitation" if you prefer the series title. I spent most of time wishing Shuichi would just give up on Yuki and focus on music and/or find someone else.
