New York New York (Manga)

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. The past that is given to Mel is deep and really grabs the reader.

Describing the characters is a bit difficult. Although I think the main romance is a very...well childish, it develops into a relationship the readers will be hooked on. It's steamy, jealous, passionate, sweet, intense, and full of the drama we all love to see!

All in all, I highly recommend this story! Especially if you yourself are a struggling gay or can relate! read more

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.

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!

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.
