Shuichi Shindou is determined to be a rock star, and he's not about to let the fact that he's a high school student with no experience and no band stop him. He's found his charismatic guitarist, he's got them a gig - now he's ready to show the world what a genius he is with his powerful lyrics. When stoic novelist Eiri Yuki overhears his amateurish verse and puts the young musician in his place, Shuichi is crushed. He just can't get the mysterious writer's criticism out of his mind. As Shuichi inserts himself into Eiri's life, desperate to prove his potential, the two find their futures inexorably intertwined, as if by fate. But Eiri doesn't believe in fate. The force that brings them together is much more primal - it's gravity. And nothing they do can stop it.

Shuichi Shindou
A high school senior, Shuichi only wants one thing in life 27 to be a rock star. His satiny voice and talent for lyrics have helped him get his foot in the door, but this sensitive boy will need thicker skin to make it in the dirty world of professional music. Helping him on the road (or perhaps distracting him?) is the handsome and cynical writer Yuki, who Shuichi is mysteriously drawn to ... as if by gravity.

Eiri Yuki
A romance novelist by trade and music critic by circumstance, Yuki's throw-away criticism of Shuichi's lyrics sets in motion a relationship that will forever tie the two men together. Cold and aloof, Yuki isn't always eager to have the passionate young musician in his life, but the forces that draw them together are too strong to hold back.
