{"product_id":"fake-dvd","title":"FAKE - DVD","description":"\u003cp\u003eDee Laytner and Randy \"Ryo\" Maclean are NYPD detectives and partners. Dee is brash, relentless, and openly in love with Ryo. Ryo is composed, flustered, and in sustained denial about his own feelings. The OVA sends them on vacation to a charming lakeside hotel in England — Ryo hoping for rest, Dee hoping for considerably more. What they get instead is a murder mystery, a missing person case, the unwelcome arrival of their superior officer Berkley Rose (who has his own interest in Ryo), and the persistent presence of Bikky and Carol, the street kids they've taken under their wing who have somehow followed them to England. The mystery unfolds at a leisurely pace; the romantic tension between Dee and Ryo unfolds at an even more leisurely one. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFAKE is a one-hour OVA produced by Studio Deen and directed by Iku Suzuki, adapting the fifth act from the second volume of Sanami Matoh's seven-volume BL manga — one of the earliest boys' love manga to receive major North American distribution, published in English by Tokyopop.
