Papa to Kiss in the Dark

Papa to Kiss in the Dark

Mira Munakata is a typical high school freshman; he goes to school, hangs out with friends, and has sex with his father. Ok, maybe not so typical. With the affections (and advances) of everyone from childhood friends to senior classmates, Mira has a wide selection of prospects to choose from; but the only one he really wants is his loving (literally) father Kousuke. So, when Kousuke stays out late and is rumored to be married to his beautiful co worker, what’s a boy to do but cry?

Gravitation OVA and Papa to Kiss in the Dark are both shounen-ai quick viewings with an insanely whiny main character. Both have the same comedic/chibi-filled tone as well. If you liked one, try out the other.

Nocturnalgloria Nocturnalgloria says...

In a similar OVA format, these are short stories that deal with stormy shounen-ai relationships. The couple of Gravitation and that of Papa to Kiss in the Dark share the habitual dichotomy of cute overly emotional uke and apparently cold-hearted seme. Gravitation is free of the incestuous undertones that make Papa a bit disturbing but these titles share a definite sense of kinship.

ZenithAstrali ZenithAstrali says...

Gravitation OVA and Papa both belong to the same genre, depicting a relationship between two men, with a crybaby uke and an apparently cold seme. While both show these couples experiencing some troubles, Papa shows a lot more intimacy, which may be a bit disturbing considering the incest.

Though both of these are shounen-ai, both also are focused on fairly humorous situations about romance and love. Check it out.

Nocturnalgloria Nocturnalgloria says...

These OVAs cover the same ground in that they are fairly humorous takes on shounen-ai romance. Plot-wise they are not similiar, Fake's plot includes a murder investigation while Gravitation deals with the music business; but anyone who enjoyed the relationship between characters and the wacky comedy of one is bound to enjoy the other.

Though much more tame, and heterosexual as far as the relationships, I think you'd like Fruits Basket if you liked Gravitation in any form. The humor is light, random, and comedic (much more so than Gravitation), the relationships are sweet and you'll enjoy them if you like romances like these, and in general it's a great series.

LimeKitten LimeKitten says...

Both of these share a few things and if you like one than you'll more than likely enjoy the other. They share the darkest of secrets that catch up, yet somehow fit some comedy into it in a sense and you can at least relate to one or more characters. They are just great to watch and relax, that is why you will enjoy one if you've seen the other.

Both series deal with the relationship between men, yet goes about it in different ways.  Very similiar in their setup with money not an issue, it's surprising just how much they are the same.

Singing in a festival is huge for any band. Both anime revolve around such a thing. Gravitation adds some romance drama in there where canary only focuses on the music. check one out if you liked the other. Be careful with Gravitation though as it has a series that should be watched before the ova.
