| FAKE (Manga) | comment |
FAKE is a Boys' Love manga by Sanami Matoh, which was serialized in Magazine Be x Boy from 1994 to 2000 and compiled into seven volumes. It takes the Ho Yay inherent in many buddy cop films and follow it to its natural conclusion.When Randy McLean joins the NYPD'S 27th Precinct, he is paired up with the department troublemaker, Dee Laytner. On learning that Randy is half-Japanese, Dee decides that Randy should be called by his Japanese moniker, Ryo, and that is how the character is referred to for the rest of the series.Almost immediately, Dee expresses an attraction to Ryo, which Ryo isn't sure how to respond to. After their first case, Dee steals a kiss from his surprised partner—and for the rest of the series, spends most of his time in romantic pursuit of his not-always-reluctant target. Ryo's adopted son, the delinquent Bikky, and Bikky's (girl)friend Carol alternately help and hinder their relationship, while other members of the cast, including JJ Adams, a marksman with a crush on Dee since their police academy days, and Berkeley Rose, an inspector with his eye on Ryo, try to keep them apart.Dee and Ryo initially form the typical chalk-and-cheese double act, with the usually steady and sensible Ryo trying to keep the more impulsive and careless Dee under control (and handling the paperwork resulting from those cases where he doesn't quite manage to do so). However, as the series continues, it becomes clear that things aren't quite as clear-cut as they seem; Ryo has some issues that can trigger a surprisingly violent and irrational temper, while Dee looks out for the kids at the local orphanage. Both have pasts that mysteriously tie in with the city's extremely active, but equally elusive, Mafia family.Notable as a BL series with more than romance in the plotline: Dee and Ryo's role as cops is as crucial to the plot as their relationship.FAKE II: The Second SeasonTakes place a about a year after the events of FAKE. Things have changed for the guys. Ryo and Dee are now a steady couple and Ryo has officially adopted Bikky. Soon things change even more as Dee and Ryo, along with (Formerly Those Two Guys) Drake and Ted, are offered a chance to join a new task force in conjunction with the FBI. They accept and soon form a Five-Man Band, when JJ requests to join.The series was adapted into a one-episode OVA anime. | |

Above the Influence: Dee makes it clear that he'd love to have his way with Ryo, almost to the point of Black Comedy Rape, but the one time that Ryo offers himself up in a moment of emotional weakness, Dee hits him and tells him that only the worst kind of dickhead would take advantage of him under those circumstances. | |

Damsel out of Distress: Carol gets kidnapped by the perp of the week, but refuses to let him scare her into staying docile and tries to escape many times, ultimately jumping out of a fourth floor window and into Ryo's arms. Diana gets a turn when she gets captured by the same human trafficking ring she's been investigating and left locked inside a room with Rob Field while the cartel packs up and leaves. She manages to hold her own (despite a few axe wounds) until Berkeley and The Cavalry arrive. | |

My Greatest Failure: Smith shot and killed a suspect in front of the latter's wife and son. He was defending the kid, but still regrets needing to do it. Leo has this too after Alicia fatally wounds him, Leo confesses to Ryo that he has two regrets. The first was murdering Ryo's parents, and seeing a teenaged Ryo emotionally destroyed at the hospital drove the point home to Leo that he was a monster. His second regret was not getting out of the business and making Alicia happy. | |

Pair the Spares: In the epilogue, having reached the realization that Dee will never choose him over Ryo, JJ unexpectedly hooks up with Drake, despite their relationship not having been romantic previously and (perhaps because) Drake conveniently has just been dumped by yet another girlfriend. | |

Friend to All Children | |
| FAKE (Manga) / int_75538142 | comment |
Friend to All Children: Both Ryo and Dee. Ryo is the more obvious case; Dee claims to hate kids but donates most of his money to orphans and is always there when Bikky and/or Carol needs him. | |

Bears Are Bad News: A teacher in a bear costume menaces Carol at a school camp as part of an intended fireside prank until Bikky intervenes with a stun gun. Somewhat unsurprisingly, it turns out to be a real bear after all. Bikky rather prudently decides to grab Carol and run for it once he figures it out, and becomes a hero to his fellow students for living to tell about it. | |

Five-Man Band: The SCIU. The Hero: Ryo is pretty much the leader of the group. No matter what Dee thinks. The Lancer: Dee, as stated above, is the Cowboy Cop and Foil to Ryo. The Smart Guy: Ted. He's always the one that we see on the computer bringing things up. The Big Guy: Drake, despite not being that much bigger than the others. He's perhaps the most stable character aside from Ted. Not exactly dumb, although he can be unobservant and dense. The Heart: JJ is the most emotional character in the series. | |

Karma Houdini: Zigzags. Leo was this for most of the series, as he was responsible for multiple murders across different story arcs, including Ryo's parents, and got away with every one until Alicia kills him. And Alicia for her part murdered multiple gangsters and single-handedly took down two gangs, while framing her husband for it. She even kills her husband in full view of a police officer and gets away with it because Leo begs Ryo not to tell on her. But she ends up all alone because her husband is dead and her father is about to die—and she is utterly miserable. | |

Well-Intentioned Replacement: Bikky saved up money to buy some expensive jewelery for Carol and even bought it, but on the way out met a kid crying because he'd just been mugged and couldn't buy something for his mother. So of course Bikky goes back to the shop, returns the gift, and gives the kid the money. Carol winds up with sunflowers Bikky cut from his foster dad's windowsill (and since she was following Bikky and saw the whole thing, she's just as happy with that). | |

Combat Stilettos: Diana manages to do a whole lot of ass-whooping while wearing high heels. | |

Art Evolution | |
| FAKE (Manga) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: The art style and facial features of many characters changed a good deal from FAKE to FAKE Second Season as Matoh made faces more distinctive from one another. Ryo in particular is a prime example, looking far more boyish than he previously did. | |

The Hero: Ryo is pretty much the leader of the group. No matter what Dee thinks. | |

Clingy Jealous Girl | |
| FAKE (Manga) / int_eb5b71fe | comment |
Clingy Jealous Girl: Clingy Jealous boy in this case—Jemmy Jay Adams, aka JJ, who, gender notwithstanding, fits this trope better than he does its brother trope, as otherwise he's... well, not exactly crazy, his Dee clinging notwithstanding. | |

Moment Killer | |
| FAKE (Manga) / int_ece6f910 | comment |
Moment Killer: It's a rare intimate moment between Dee and Ryo that isn't interrupted just as progress appears to be happening. Bikky and JJ do it on purpose, but they're far from the only offenders. Special mention goes to the scene in Act 17 in which they are moments from a Relationship Upgrade when the phone rings—and then JJ bursts in—and then Bikky bursts in, all within less than a minute of one another. | |

Not Staying for Breakfast: Ryo pulls this one on Dee after they finally have sex for the first time. Dee isn't bothered very much. | |

Master of the Mixed Message | |
| FAKE (Manga) / int_fb7cc1ff | comment |
Master of the Mixed Message: Dear God, Ryo. It's pretty clear almost from the beginning that Ryo's got more then platonic feelings for his partner, but it isn't until the epilogue that Ryo tells Dee how he feels. Good thing Dee's not easily deterred. | |

Human Pet | |
| FAKE (Manga) / int_fbdbc997 | comment |
Human Pet: The man who kidnaps Carol has a history of abducting young girls and keeping them, in his own words, as "pets", and murdering them if they "misbehave" (e.g., try to escape). | |

Will They or Won't They?: Ryo and Dee, though it's mostly a case of "Will he or won't he?" with Ryo, since Dee makes his motives clear quite early on. | |
