I wasn't expecting much when I started this manga but it ended up surprising me. It tells the story of two men falling in love in New York. One is a cop and the other is a vulnerable young man with a troubled past. They face a lot of difficulties throughout the whole story that made me want to cry. Overall it was very touching and quite enjoyable.

This has got to be one of the most realistic manga's I have ever read.
I am not very much of a yaoi fan at all, but I am quite the fan of FAKE. I found this on the recommendations list and I thought, why not? Man am I glad I took a look. This story is vividly realistic. It shows powerful insight on the life of struggling gays and really proves the authors knowledge on the subject. It makes a strong connection to the reader and really makes you feel compassion for their struggles. It covers cheating, rape, death, HIV/AIDS, coming out, and so much more. ...

Its a very heart warming story. I really enjoyed reading it. I actually cried at the end.
Its about the story of a police man hiding his real self as a gay from all his colleagues, friends and family, and a very vulnerable but kind-hearted guy with a dark past. I remember reading how many times Kain Walker told his meeting with Mel Fredericks is a destiny. I really thought nothing much about this story but it turned out very good. I really recommend this story. I love it!

Well, I just finished bingeing this manga, and I would have to say this is one of the best yaoi/shounen ai manga I have ever read.
Story (9): Most yaoi manga I have read are pretty cliched when it comes to the story. If you take the basic premise, it's not that original. But original stories are hard to write and I think this one grabs the reader's attention by the way it tells the story. It may be a love at first sight kind of thing, but there's so much more to this story. It brings up many issues in the gay community, HIV/AIDS, cheating, abuse, ...

Honestly, I'm surprised New York New York doesn't have a higher viewership. It's a solidly good realistic-type bl manga, but being quite old (published in 1994) and having an art style that can get some getting used to probably causes its under-the-radar status.
It is an enjoyable story that is easy to read and has a happy ending, despite the difficulties along the way, especially so in the beginning where Kain acts like a super bitch. This is where he gets his title of a "very unlikeable main character" but he changes significantly towards the ending for the better. The story has its fair share of ...

I really like this manga. It's really good, exploring the hardships homosexuals (mainly.gays) face. Yet, it was very sweet, bitter.
I really love Mel.I don't usually like most of the ukes in Shounen-ai/yaoi mangas. Sometimes, I found him a bit too forgiving and bit unrealistic as how kind hearted he was. On the other side, I kind of disliked Kain until the end of the manga. He was cheating on Mel. The art is a bit ugly. But I got used to it.

First things first, if you do not like BL or aren't even interested in it or perhaps have not given it a chance, don't let this turn you away!!! If you're in for one of those dramatic, psychological trips then this is for you. A big trigger warning to those who are affected by some minor gore, self-mutilation, bigotry and sexual/phsyical abuse though.
I read a lot of BL/Yaoi manga, and by far this one was incredibly touching and realistic to me. It's quite rare to find a realistic Yaoi that covers a lot of the true struggles of being a homosexual. What's interesting about this ...

Personally this is my favorite shounen ai manga ever. I mean it ties so much In One story. Honestly I can't really put it into words very well. Cause no matter how I write it , it doesn't put it to Justice. I think my favorite this about this manga is the loyalty, love, and forgiveness between Mel and Kain. They never gave up on each other even when it was painful and looked hopeless. They kept going. The author did a beautiful job with this story. I seriously can't praise this manga enough. If you haven't read this story I highly

Initially I intended to abandon this manga because of my first impression of the characters during the first few chapters being that they(Mel and Kain) seemed too flat and I grew gradually indifferent towards Kain's impulsive and irrational character. HOWEVER, as I gave it more patience and understanding Ragawa has somehow showed time and again the blissful feeling of having someone beside you through the rough times. The journey of Kain and Mel's romance is a thrilling story in which they endeavor through tragedy and despair in the big city of New York. This manga also deals with the struggle with same-sex relationships as well
