FAKE is a BL mystery-drama manga originally published between 1994 and 2000. The dominant emotional line throughout the series is the evolving relationship between detectives Dee and Ryo. However, just as important as the mysteries and the growing romance is the found family that the detectives build and the support it provides them. The post [History] FAKE and the Found Family: The ’90s BL cop drama that influenced a genre appeared first on ANIME FEMINIST.
