Fake

In this 2003–2004 Tokyopop miniseries, a young man discovers that his entire life—including his family and friends—is a carefully constructed illusion, forcing him to question what's real. Written and illustrated by a single creator, Fake is a compact, seven-issue thriller that explores identity and paranoia in a modern setting. It stands as a notable example of Tokyopop's early 2000s push to bring original English-language manga to a wider audience.
