Fake, Volume 1
by Sanami Matoh
So I only managed to read the first chapter of this manga before putting it down in disgust. It has a good premise, and has good characters, even if the speed of the story moves along quite quickly. However, within the space of four pages, a homophobic slur is used twice; now I get that not many people are phased by this and it's not fair to judge a book solely on this, but as a gay man, it is quite upsetting to come across within literature, especially when it's used in an offensive term.
A shame, as I was really getting into this manga; one can only hope that this is a serious mistranslation rather than homophobic slurring being used.
Two stars as it would have been one, yet the story and characters are quite good.
