Collectibles
For anime and manga fans, there are common items such as shitajiki, doujinshi, and posters among other things. And as knapsack I saw at Planet Anime, so eloquently puts it, "Anime ... Crack is cheaper". Gravitation currently has a reasonable amount of things to collect, of which I have minimal scans of. Some things not pictured that I know exist are pin sets, letter sets, notepads, clearfiles, posters, a plush Kumogoro, cell phone straps, keychains, a coffe cup, and possibly more. If I can find images and information on these items, I will add them to the list.
Please note - These are all officially liscensed items in Japan, I do not promote nor recommend buying bootleg copies of anything, no matter how cheap it is.
Shitajiki
Shitajiki are pencilboards .. they are used by students in Japan. It is placed under a sheet of paper to avoid pressing through onto the pages beneath. I have one in my sketchbook, so that each page is kept free from depressions due to the pencil. They are very durable, hard to scratch, and very useful ... of course, I also collect them for the pictures as well. To the best of my knowledge there are five available for Gravitation.

Calendar
There were two calendars ever released, one in 1998 and the other in 1999. I have seen the 1998, but couldn't get it at the time. The only one I have is the 1999 one. Never even hung it up. It's still rolled up safely in a mailing tube! *laughs* I was hoping with the release of the TV anime, would we see another one, but no such luck.
