I am currently looking into this manga and so far from what I've been able to acquire I like it. Dee, Ryo, Bikky and Carol are all my favorites... JJ and Rose are annoying though.
I'd like to know if there are any other stories like this... even if its not yaoi.

I'm usually not into yaoi or shounen-ai or whatever but I liked FAKE. It's actually the only series of that genre that I own and display on my bookshelf. I found the story to be funny and entertaining. The characters are likable and I'm a fan of those crime/detective type series so I enjoyed this series. I can't really think of any similar stories at the moment but I do remember there being some kind of spin-off story with Lai. He's a kid that shows up in the bonus story with older Bikky. You can check out "Trash" by the same mangaka but there's only one volume. That one is pretty good and I wish it would be continued.

Ah, well that might be because FAKE seems to have a bit more realistic of a plot than some of those other BL stories, especially where yaoi is concerned? I mean there is a lot of yaoi that has no real plot... just PWP. Still there are some out there with at least some sort of plot.
Hmmn, as a single volume does it seem finished though? I don't enjoy reading things with cliffhangers if I know it wont be continued, but I'll think about checking that out, thanks for the information.
I remember Lai, though I didn't know there was a spin-off.
