History Manga / FAKE

* DamselOutOfDistress: Carol gets kidnapped by a serial murderer but [[DefiantCaptive refuses to let him scare her into staying docile]] and tries to escape many times, ultimately jumping out of the fourth floor window and into Ryo's arms.
** Diana gets a turn when she gets captured by a human trafficking ring and [[AloneWithThePsycho locked inside a room with Rob Field.]]

* OfficialCouple: Dee and Ryo.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Ryo.

** BigBad: Leo has this too [[spoiler: after he's fatally wounded by Alicia, Leo confesses to Ryo that he has two regrets. The first was that he murdered Ryo's parents, and seeing a teenaged Ryo emotionally destroyed at the hospital drove the point home to Leo that he was a monster. His second regret was not getting out of the business and making Alicia happy.]]

** BigBad Leo has this too [[spoiler: after he's fatally wounded by Alicia, Leo confesses to Ryo that he has two regrets. The first was that he murdered Ryo's parents, and seeing a teenaged Ryo emotionally destroyed at the hospital drove the point home to Leo that he was a monster. His second regret was not getting out of the business and making Alicia happy.]]

* BiTheWay: Dee, Ryo, Berkeley, and [[spoiler:Drake]] all demonstrate the capacity for attraction to both men and women on some level. Dee openly identifies himself as bisexual and has no problem flirting with Diana; Ryo refers to himself as a gay man in volume 7, but a side story shows him having a brief, budding romance with a girl when he was a teenager.

* LowerDeckEpisode: The first 3 extras in the second season, detailing how Drake and Ted met Dee.

* MomentKiller: It's a rare intimate moment between Dee and Ryo that isn't interupted just as progress appears to be going on. Bikky and JJ do it on purpose, but they're far from the only offenders. Special mention goes to the scene in Act 17 in which they are ''moments'' from a RelationshipUpgrade when the phone rings - and then JJ bursts in - and then ''Bikky'' bursts in, all within less than a minute of one another.

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: The Bikky/Carol sidestories feature timeskips to various points in the future, up to apprximately five years ahead of the main storyline.

* WellIntentionedReplacement: Bikky saved up money to buy some expensive jewelery for Carol and even bought it, but on the way out met a kid crying because he'd just been mugged and couldn't buy something for his mother. So of course Bikky goes back into the shop, returns the gift, and gives the kid the money. Carol winds up with sunflowers Bikky cut from his foster dad's window sill (and since she was following Bikky and saw the whole thing, she's just as happy with that).
* WheresTheKaboom: Played with during a hostage crisis, Dee bluffs the bad guys by telling them a retractable ballpoint pen is the detonator for a bomb hidden in the character's base. When he clicks the pen, his bluff seems to have been called - but then the bomb, which Ryo had previously set for 10 pm, goes off as scheduled.

* GreenEyes: Dee.

* ThisAndThat: Dee's very optimistic plans for spending Christmas with Ryo include a lot of this-and-that.

* NewYorkCityCops

* PairTheSpares: Berkeley and Diana hooking up was no surprise. [[spoiler:Drake and JJ]], on the other hand, came out of left field...
** Although Drake ''has'' been following JJ around since at ''least'' volume 3. Enough [[WildMassGuessing paranoid]], GenreSavvy, or [[DieForOurShip sufficiently determined]] [[{{Shipping}} shipper]] already had that one down somewhere mid-series.

* {{Seme}}: Dee's a seme of the [[BoysLoveNotes "wanko" or "devoted puppy" type]].

** She shows a little disappointment at it but is happy that it means he'll be her boyfriend.

* {{Kissgusting}}: Ryo's reaction to being kissed by Berkley and dee's reaction to being kissed by JJ.

* BigApplesauce: The manga seems to glory in being set in NYC and there are plenty of gratuitous shots of famous landmarks. Since the 27th Precinct seems to be set in the projects we see parts of TheBigRottenApple.

* HesAllGrownUpNow: Carol has this realization when she sees Bikky in high school

* WhiteGangBangers: Have shown up a couple times.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Leo Grant is described by his wife to be a platinum blond.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: Ryo and Dee, though it's mostly a case of "will he or won't he?" with Ryo, since Dee makes his motives clear quite early on.
** [[spoiler:TheyDo: In volume 7.]]

* HeyItsThatGuy: Hey! [[OutlawStar Jim]] has two daddies!
** [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Domon Kasshu]] is Dee.

* EverythingsWorseWithBears: A teacher in a bear costume menaces Carol at a school camp as part of an intended fireside prank until Bikky intervenes with a stun gun. [[spoiler: Somewhat unsurprisingly, it turns out to be a real bear after all.]] Bikky rather prudently decides to grab Carol and run for it once he figures it out, and becomes a hero to his fellow students for living to tell about it.
