About Fake

Fake is a seven-volume BL manga by Sanami Matoh. The story focuses on a romance between Randy "Ryo" Maclean and Dee Laytner, two New York City detectives from the fictitious 27th precinct. An anime version of the fifth act from the second manga is also available, in the form of an OVA. Fake was serialized in the monthly yaoi manga magazine Magazine Be × Boy from June 1993 until June 2000, and later compiled into seven volumes by Biblos. After the company went bankrupt in 2006, Fake was republished by Mediation as five volumes, with one newly drawn extra story featured at the back of each. Fake's English translation was published by Tokyopop in the United States of America, and by Madman Entertainment in Australia and New Zealand. Fake was later released digitally by COMPASS, Inc. in 2021. All seven volumes are available in English. The one-off sequel "Like, like love" is only available in Japan as a part of an art book by Matoh.
