Favorite Manga EVER.

This was the first yaoi I ever read. And it is now my favorite manga of all time. This manga is AWESOME in every way! I LOVE Fake! I can't even express my love for this manga it's so great! I love the characters! Ryo, Dee, Bikky, Carol, the guys at the department, the side characters, all of them are fun and VERY memorable. This is probably the best yaoi you will ever read! The romance isn't rushed whatsoever and the action and comedy are never ending. Also the mood and feeling of the whole series is just amazing and never overbearing! The artwork takes getting used to because it's a 90s manga but you come around to LOVE it! Comedy on every page, well thought out plot and action, slow but awesome romance, I don't know any other yaoi or shounen ai that can compare to FAKE. I know I'm rambling a little bit but I must say, I really do think FAKE is the king of BL manga. For sure! If you haven't read the manga yet, please (I beg you) most definately stop reading this comment right now and go read it already!!!
One question though for any readers of FAKE: Why was this manga named fake?

Plot, art, characters etc are stellar. For me the best part of this manga is the characters; Ryo and Dee are just ridiculously likeable :3 In other words, go read it or you'll be missing out big time!

Not too bad...

The best parts of this title are the character relations and the feelings between Dee and Ryo and the interaction and details for the rest of the cast. The plot was good for its' time but its' fairly cookie-cutter cliched now. Still, at least the pacing is fast and doesn't drag too much.

It took me forever to read one of the greatest yaoi classics, but I did, and I have to admit: It was totally awesome! Dee and Ryo make SUCH a cute couple, and there was actually development in their relationship! XD I guess it's easier to develop characters more in a story that spans several volumes, but there are some stories out there that seem to have nothing to them at all. And the plot was great. Every crime was interesting and had you on the edge of your seat. Sometimes it got pretty serious with some dark themes, but the rest was always laced with hilarious humor. I was dying with laughter throughout the whole thing! ^_^ It was seriously fantastic, and I would reccommend it to anyone, especially anyone who's trying yaoi for the first time. And I would also suggest checking out the epilogue. Especially fans of JJ! (me!) Our cute little JJ doesn't get quite so bad of an ending I think... I can't wait to read the sequel!

one of the best in shounen-ai department

This was my first manga read. Ever. And I still can't think out of the top of my head of any s-ai manga to top it in my personal list. Because, yes, PLOT, dudes. You would just want to read more for the plot and the humour, and romance happens naturally along, very nicely. The art is lovely and solid, too, as far as conventional yaoi goes.

This is the first yaoi manga I ever read...and I read it not knowing what it was. Shocked isnt even the correct word. Even now, looking back I still really liked it. It wasnt just about the yaoi as so many yaoi mangas focus on there. There's plot, and back story, and...PLOT. There's romance and a character that actually takes awhile before he falls in love with the other...sorta like (gasp) real life. A great read that every yaoi fan ought to read

Great Series!

This series was the first for a lot of shounen-ai fans who follow the published book releases. A good solid story about two New York policemen who slowly fall in love. Dee Laytner, the brash, loud "punk off the street" cop, falls for Randy "Ryo" MacLean, the new cop in the precinct. This story follows their trials and tribulations, both in work and outside. A great story for both yaoi and shounen-ai fans.

Perfect pace!

I meant to review this as soon as I finished reading it, but here I am now! I just have to praise this!
I've learned the lesson never judge a manga but it's art-style! a long time ago, and I'm so happy for that or I might not have read this! (the shame!) In the end I have fallen completely in love with the style and completely in love with each character!
First off, the mix of drama and refreshing humour, as well as the well paced action and plot made this an absolutely enjoyable read for me!!! I loved it! Every cliche! Every story! Every couple!
The thing that most won me over was the chemistry between the main couple, Ryo and Dee!
Poor Dee having to be denied for so long! xD and Ryo, a refreshing uke! Not feminized to hell! Dx
I was completely caught up in their development as a couple over the period of each volume! They will always be one of my favourite couples! But let's not forget that this manga is full of great characters! Characters I wanted to see more of! I absolutely can't forget Carol and Bikky! 😀 and I wanted to see our idiot J.J find a requited love! XD
In the end I can't think of anything I didn't love about this! This is going on my classics and personal favourites shelf next to Kizuna! :3
