Product Description
Ryo is on the biggest case of his life! He and Dee are on the trail of a cold-blooded killer named Leo. They're certain he killed Ryo's parents, but don't have enough evidence to prove it. With a little help from Diana Spacey, FBI agent extraordinare, Ryo soon cracks the case when he witnesses Leo murdering a man. When Ryo threatens to shoot him, Leo tells him he did indeed kill his parents. Dee arrives and threatens to shoot Leo himself. Finally, they let Leo get away, and Ryo breaks down in Dee's arms. Back at Dee's apartment, Ryo kisses Dee but Dee abruptly stops his advances. He wants their first time together to be for the right reasons...not to escape a horrible memory. The second story centers around JJ and his old friend and police academy buddy, Max. Max was once a good guy, but now he's a bad cop. JJ's faith in his friend (and the system) is put to the test when a shooting goes horribly wrong. Somehow, Ryo and Dee must somehow make this right.

 Fantastic shounen-ai series with a good plot April 20, 2008

This volume was pretty exiting as Dee and Ryo investigate a series of murders and discover a connection between the suspect of the murders and Ryo's past.
The next story is about J.J., who is a friend of Dee from the days of police school. J.J. meets a friend from his past, whom he hasn't seen in a long time, and it seems as if this friend isn't the same man J.J. once has known.
At last there is a story with Bikky and Carol and their friends Ray and Lacy. Ray is from a rich family and he and Bikky get kidnapped. They manage to escape but not without Ray and Lacy using powers, which doesn't seem quite normal for regular kids.
One of the Best Manga Series Out There! May 22, 2005

This is my all time favorite series - even though it's only Shonen Ai it is the greatest Manga Series out there. The art is great and the story is funny and sweet in a lot of places, especially when it reveals how much the two main characters care for one another. It focuses on Dee Laytner and his persistence to get into the pants of his new partner Ryo Maclean, your average uke not knowing what to make of Dee's advances and Dee isn't the only one after Ryo, their new boss Berkley Rose is and Dee has his own admirers including one hyperactive jealous JJ, who hates Ryo. This is a must have series for any Yaoi or Shonen Ai Fan!

I'll have to admit that when I first started reading FAKE, I wasn't crazy about it. I liked it, bit I wasn't on my list of favorites. As I have progressed in the story, that has changed. I love watching how Ryo and Dee's relationship changes as time goes on. And let's not forget Bikky!! He's my favorite character in the series!!Book 5 of FAKE is one of the darker books of the series. Ryo has to again deal with the mystery surrounding his parents death. His relationship with Dee is put under a lot of strain as Ryo becomes obsessed with finding out the truth. Also in Book 5 is a side story dealing with JJ and a friend from the Police Academy. JJ is forced to realize that not all officers share the same "protect and serve" ideals. Overall, FAKE book 5 is full of angst, comedy and some very nice romantice scenes ^_^'.
 Pretty pictures. April 2, 2004

The non-working of the plot is worse then in the other volumes. The Guys behave like teenage girls. Pschychic characters from other comics show up in the Binki's storyline once again.I am only reading this for pretty fictional boys kissing.

Fake 3 was just as good as the first two mangas. In this volume you do learn alot about Ryo and how hard his parents murders were makin g him feel. Dee as always was there for him when needed. Which in my opinion was very sweet! Buy the book! You most definately won't regret it. Ja-ne
