Fake Volume 2

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!

The first time I read this manga was way back when in highschool when my Japanese language teacher gave us manga for us to practice reading with.It was actually in Japanese and it really got me hooked on Japanese manga, especially the Shounen Ai genre. It wasn't really smart for her to bring in some yaoi manga books, but hey, it was awesome. Though the translation really varies...and Tokyopop has a reputation for screwing up some mangas. All in all, the second book is awesome. There's mystery, action, adventure (...). The characters aren't that bad looking either. Sanami Matoh's art is awesome, though her child characters look mighty freaky with weird glass like eyes. There's a lot of humor and Sanami Matoh portrayed NY people perfectly! Although in the second book it goes on to the supernatural realm...ghosts and such, Matoh-san didn't overdo it. I strongly urge any Shounen Ai manga fans to buy this book. It's one of the most popular shounen Ai mangas out there.

Dear god, I love this series! It looks like Sanami Matoh refined her drawing style between the first and second books. A big improvement, if you ask me. The only thing I tend to not like about this volume is that it tended to get riciculous at times, but that's more than made up for by great kissing scenes. ;DJust wait 'til volume 7... *snicker*

This entire series is just awesome. You'll finish one book and just be begging for more. The writing is both amusing and interesting, and it has a nice blend of comedy and drama. I higly reccomend this to anyone who enjoys good manga.

Truthfully, I'd expected FAKE vol 1, but instead I got volume 2. Not that I minded of course, I already knew the story of vol 1 VERY well, so I wasn't a bit lost with 2.Anyway, this is not a series to miss. One of the most popular shounen-ai/yaoi manga around. What's more, it's got a plot! *faints* While the focus IS on Dee and Ryo's relationship, there's action and plenty of humor thrown into the mix as well. The pair is just too exciting, it's so much fun following them through their interrupted make-out sessions and Dee's mistimed attempts to jump Ryo's bones (well, more than his bones, but...).Volume two isn't my favorite of the seven, but considering how much I love FAKE, that's still saying a LOT. This is the only time FAKE dips into the supernatural realm, but Sanami Matoh carried it out with style.But hey, quite frankly, I'm in it for the sexy guys and hot kissing scenes. ^_~ A true rabid yaoi fangirl indeed.
