Fake

Are you looking for a funny and cute bishounen romance? Gravitation is something for you! It contains many funny moments and of course a wondeful story about two male lovers ;) Gravitation is not about two work partners this time it's two induvidual persons that are not alike in any way. I'm sure you gonna love Gravitation if you liked FAKE

With both romantic trifles and wacky, exagerrated humour in these two titles, it would be a pity to miss one if you liked the other. Both Fake and Gravitation can shift from a serious scene to a humourous outburst instantly (and vice versa), but both do it well and in a positive fashion. The relationships between the characters are the focus of these two stories, with events around them mostly serving either to aid or impede this.

Though I hate to recommend two shounen-ai shows just because, each of these features a humorous look at relationship between men, and an amusing story to boot.

Although perhaps a slightly cliché recommendation, it is easy to identify some key relations between the two series. Both focus on shounen-ai (boy's love), with similar characters and amusing supporting roles. As far as the story goes, both contain many light hearted, wacky and humourous moments, along with a more serious (sometimes darker) plot to hold it all together.

Shounen-ai is an increasingly popular genre, and the increasing number of titles make it hard to choose the best. For me, Gravitation and Fake fall far from the mark, and are distinctly average, but I can see why so many people do like it.

Following a tried and tested character list, there are many parallels to be drawn between the two shows and how each of the bishounen males act towards each other. If you like your shounen-ai very tame, then you are sure to enjoy both of these shows!

The main characters of both Fake and Yami no Matsuei are detectives who happen upon cases that sometimes affect them more than they would have liked. Although Fake doesn't have as much of a bombastic element as Yami no Matsuei, both series place their focus on the relationships between the characters and the problems that arise between them, rather than on the case they are working on.

Both Fake and Yami no Matsuei are shounen ai with a good plot, and that is not very common. It is, however, hard to compare them since Fake is a movie based on a story that happens in the middle of the manga storyline. Yami no is several episodes and gives more time for character development.

These two classic shounen-ai anime each follow the escapades of a poorly-matched detective pair, but in many ways they couldn't be more different. Firstly, while the team of 'Yami no Matsuei' are all long-dead, the dynamic duo of 'Fake' are only on holiday. ("In England, nobody can hear you scream!") Whilst the story of 'Fake' is extremely lighthearted, 'Yami no Matsuei' sometimes delves into deeper themes of death and psychological trauma, but both undoubtedly have their moments of high comedy. 'Fake' devotes more screen time to exploring the relationships between its main cast, while 'Yami no Matsuei' remains coy and playful, mostly keeping relationships as gently implied comedic material. This is partly due to the time constraints of both; 'Fake' barely even clocks in at an hour in length, but the fact remains that it is more relationship-focused than 'Yami no Matsuei', which tends to feature more action and suspense than the rather silly story of 'Fake'. In any case, despite being a little dated, both are light-hearted takes on the genre which can't fail to bring a smile to your face.

Fruits Basket is not a mystery by any means, nor does it deal with homosexuality. However! The humor is very much alike and made me laugh out loud, just like most parts of Fake. This kind of humor is rare, I think, and so I definitely think you'd enjoy Fruits Basket as well.
