I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas (or a happy Sunday if you don't celebrate it). I apologize for the site being down the past week. I used a coupon when I first made the account the the hosting company. It said that payment would be the annual payment, but when it came time to pay the bill, it was bumped from $83 to $110. Everything should be fixed now. If you see anything that seems out of place or if there are errors on pages, please let me know! Thank you for your patience!

And although it comes as no surprise, it doesn't look like Murakami plans to put out any more Gravitation any time soon, but if she does, I'll post news of it here!

As you can see, Nittle Grasper has received a makeover! It's very... pink. While I realize Halloween is just around the corner, I was in the mood for pink. I have no other excuses. The cbox has moved to the right and I've added a news box above it so you can see snippets of news instead of having to read the whole news update in this column.

Anyway, the point is, while I may have designed the website, the original coding literally exploded in Firefox and Internet Explorer. Thankfully, a buddy named Scarlet was kind enough to sit with me for over an hour and iron out all the kinks! So thanks a ton, Scarlet! <3

The makeover isn't finished, but I personally find it a lot more readable than the old version. Besides, the banners still rotate! That was my favorite feature of the old layout.

Not much has happened in the past year, but Murakami has released two whole chapters. Hopefully, a third will be released on the 28th of this month if Murakami can catch up to her schedule again. If not, we may be looking at another 3 year hiatus.

I'd really like to make this website an information central since it seems most other Gravitation-related websites have poofed off the internet. Unfortunately, it does cost money to maintain it. $110 a year. It's due on December 16th, 2011. This website is completely non-profit, and the original money was put up by me last year to get the website started. I won't be able to afford the $110 on my own this year, at least not until January. Since the website expires in December, I would really appreciate your help in keeping it going! If you have any money you can spare, please consider donating. None of the funds will go to me, and once our goal is reached, the money will be set aside for next year's renewal!

To close out this news post, you may have noticed the forum is completely wiped. Over the past few months, spammers have been filling it up entirely. If you've registered before, you'll have to register again. This is a hopefully more secure forum which will attract less spammers.

Unfortunately, it looks like good things never last forever. As a lot of you probably suspected, Murakami did not include a chapter of Gravitation in the latest issue of Gentosha, the magazine which publishes it. There's no word as to whether or not this is a one-time deal, but knowing Murakami, we might be going quite a few months before she decides to update again.

Just another short update: Murakami has updated Gravitation for a second time in a row. The download link is: here.

Well, what do you know! Miracles really do happen! Maki Murakami has finally, after a nearly three year long hiatus, released another chapter of Gravitation! To top it off, it's more than 5 pages!

You can download it here.

The site has just received a massive amount of content! The characters page has finally been started, though it's far from finished. Any "pages not found" mean that character's bio has not been completed. The audio page is completely finished. Thirteen CDs, all available for download! The news section has been updated and videos have been added to the videos section. Within the next couple of days, the images page will be filled with art from the fanbooks and possibly with fanart as well.

That leaves the anime, images and manga pages which need to be filled with content. The work on these is skeletal at best, but they're definitely being worked on!

With all of that said, please note that this site does cost money to run and come mid-December, I'll have to shell out $110. So if anyone wants to help to lessen the bill, please consider donating to the site! All proceeds go directly to the funds for the website. If that's met, manga volumes will be purchased so they can be rescanned since earlier scanlations have pretty terrible quality.

If you have any comments, please feel free to use the cbox on the right!

For those of you with keen eyes, you may have noticed a Forum! It's still under construction and should be opening within the month. Registration is completely free, but it would be great to have members!

The Manga section has been updated! It's going to be a full, in-depth analysis and summary of the manga, so beware of spoilers!

In addition, the layout has been slightly tweaked. Hopefully the green isn't too overwhelming and the site is easier to read now! More updates to come!

Today, a Character page was added! It's slowly being filled up with all of your favorite characters from the series! The ones that are featured in the anime will be completed first, followed by characters who only appear in the manga.

Welcome to Nittle-Grasper.net!

The goal of this website is to be a comprehensive directory for all of your Gravitation needs. Anime episode and manga chapter downloads will soon be available, accompanied with summaries of each episode and chapter.

In-depth summaries of characters' personalities and parts in the story will be coming as well, along with images from both the anime, manga and official artwork by Murakami herself.
