Murakami-sensei was very generous last month in giving us over 20 pages of content to pore over. This month....not so much. Track 72 contains a grand total of 4 pages of content (and 3 pages of fluff, which still only brings it to 7 pages). The good news is this month's issue is free, so even if there's not a lot of content, at least the price is right ^_^ (of course, there's tons of other manga to check out in the webcomic, too, but I always end up reading Gravitation only).
The chapter starts with a bang....literally. A car is seen crashing into the side of a building housing a kindergarten, and the crasher kicks open the car door. It's Eiri (wearing sunglasses, in an apparent attempt to impair his vision even further :P), saying that even though he can't see he can still drive just fine (suuuuure). He tells Riku that it's time to say goodbye, but then Riku hands him his phone, saying he's got a call. Eiri looks quite pissed as he takes the phone and says hello icily. It's Touma on the other end, and he asks if is was Riku who answered the phone. Eiri says it was, and Touma marvels at how it seems the two of them are getting along well (I'm not sure Riku would agree, since it looks like he just got a bonk on the head from Eiri :P). Eiri says that if Touma thinks that then HE'S the one who needs to go to the hospital. He says Touma had better not be calling to say Shuuichi's fired or he's going to kill him or something else stupid. Touma says that's not why he's calling, he's really calling to say there's been an accident involving Shuuichi. To be continued....
That's all, folks. So basically, all that happened is that Eiri found out about the accident. The real question is, what will he do about it? Drive blindly into the jungle? I wouldn't put it past him ^_-
Here's the pictures. The second to the last picture is about how Gravitation EX has been released in a bunch of different countries, and the final picture is about the reprinting of Gravitation into 6 volumes that they did recently in Japan:
