HELP! (MURAKAMI Maki)

This was a prelude to Maki Murakami's Gravitation, but is not considered to be a part of the series. Many of the characters look similar to her Gravitation cast. This comic is the original story by Murakami, which was later rewritten somewhat into the series Gravitation. Rather than starring Shuichi and Yuki, the stories star Sakuma Ryuichi--lead singer of the band Nettle Grasper--and Uesugi Tatsuha as a novelist in a romance fairly similar to the one in Gravitation.
