I miss the fandom for Fake as well. It was never huge, but I remember reading fic for it on a joint Gravitiation/Fake LJ. There were some good times. Not much art, from what I remember... But some good fic.

Brb. Going to reread the manga and watch the OVA.

Is this the one with the gay cops that was popular in the 80's?

...No? It looks like Fake, a popular manga crated in 94, but not seen stateside until the 2000s.

For curiosity, which one had gay cops that was popular in the 80s?

I don't know. I don't speak Japanese so the only news I ever get is what fans translate and unfortunately, communities for it aren't really active.

Is that... FAKE? I LOVE that manga! *flail*

I guess too much time has elapsed and most FAKE fans have moved on to other stuff. I've read the sequel and I thought it was pretty good, although I'm not sure if the series is finished.
And yes, this is a common complaint, but I preferred Sanami Matoh's previous art style. I found it unique compared to the manga styles of the time and I just think it looked a lot better. But hey, artists evolve and it's still quality art. Except for the mouths, she just started drawing really wide mouths for some reason.

This was the one yaoi manga I really enjoyed. I miss it.

same. it was my first yaoi manga and I have yet to see one similar to it in terms of characterization.

Odd question, and the answer is probably no: Did they switch in the newer parts?

Switch what?

I don't think so. I think they only got down in the DJs Matoh wrote so I don't think so.

What is you people's obsession with switching? Most people are comfortable with their position, you know.

Aw man, this was such a good manga. Someone rec'ed this for a good LGBT focused manga awhile ago and I am so happy they did.

This secret has spurred me to read the sequel, which I've been avoiding due to the art style change.

Aw yes. My first yaoi manga. Good times.

The juxtaposition of the photo-accurate bodies and the overly stylized manga faces gives me the creeps.

It wasn't much even back then and I can see why.

I loved this manga...*single tear is shed for good memories*

It always gets me how dramatically the art style changed. I don't dislike it, it's much smoother than the original style, but it's part of why I could never get into the second installment. Think I'll give it another try, though - I miss Bikky and the gang.

Fake needs all the love it can get. It deserves it.

i understand missing it, op, but it's not good enough to merit status, imo

then again there are worse thing out there that are popular. better fake than those.
