sammy_lou's review against another edition
5.0
I can't believe this is the last chapter of one of my favourite series. I'm just glad that the mangaka made an amazing second series. In the last Volume, many loose threads are tied up all neat in a bow for us. Our detectives have grown so much from the first volume and we get a great case to end on. Finally, we learn about Leo and how he's wrapped up in all that's happened to our two men. He is part of a very tangled Web and has climbed up the ladder since Ryo's parent's death. Diane is once again in this one and working on a witness protection case involving Leo's wife. She is one crafty and conniving woman, she knows what she wants and doesn't care who is hurt in the process. When it's all over someone will be dead and the past will finally be put to bed! We finally have great progress in Dee and Ryo's relationship. Ryo finally comes to terms with his feeling for Dee and who he is as a person. Their first time together is short but sweet. It was so worth all the waiting for it to finally happen. When Ryo finally said them three little words it made my heart so happy! Then they had a sweet date and redo of their first time in bed together. This one was so much hotter. I have read this series many many times and I never get tired of this series. I got so happy when the second series was translated to English and it is so worth reading. The art style has changed and I love it! Just can't get enough of these two and the cases that come their way.

This really enjoyed this book and I found this book to be funny in some parts. I'm like how characters and their relationships are developed through the series. I still would have like the side characters to be flash out bit more.
Both the ending and the atmosphere was that fine also I didn't really like the cover or art style.

I love this series. I was disappointed to learn that the next volume is the last with all the character development given to this series. This is the third Tokyopop series I read recently that abruptly ended. I feel attached to Dee and Ryo and I am not sure one more volume can bring their story to a logical conclusion. Hmmm... Maybe I should start reading Bleach! Hehe!

I want more!!! I especially liked the smooth fast dialogue. I always understood what was happening compared to other manga where I feel that a page is missing. Great art and interesting stories. I saw that there is a FAKE 2 on amazon. I am not ready to let Dee and Ryo go yet.

Finally. Ryo takes a long time to figure out his feelings, but it's worth it.

Carol, my darling. I actually really enjoy this volume because it shows us more of Carol, who I adore, and shows us how resourceful she is. Which makes complete sense considering she was introduced to us as a pickpocket.

To be honest, I love this volume more because of Alicia and Leo than I do because Dee and Ryo finally work their shit out. There is just something so compelling about Alicia and her motives, and the way she orchestrates the entire thing is absolutely amazing. She's cold and calculating, and I love her.

Without a doubt, one of the best written manga out there, with particular interest because I think Ryo's character might be asexual and you certainly don't see a lot of that! Rather than go on and on about how great it was (especially on my reread), I'm going to address the author here...
Sanami Matoh, I see you did some work with a Fake "season two" (gone are the original art I loved! Ahhh!) and did a few, uh, adult side-stories (Thank you!), but I have several points I want to see addressed:
*What was Ryo's life like before working with the NYPD. Where was he reassigned from?
*How did Ryo interact with people before Dee?
*More on Dee's sexuality, when did he realize he was gay, why does he insist Ryo is the only guy he's interested in.
So far, the second season has answered my questions on how would the new couple navigate life together and how would Bikky react to Dee's "conquest"
I'm in too deep, but I think this will help inspire more. So... please? :)

This series really seems to be getting back on track - I enjoyed both of the stories in this volume, particularly thebone about Dee's 'father'.
