Hello guys!

I just wanted to recommend Liar Game, which ranks as one of my top must-read manga! Written by Shinobu Kaitani, Liar Game is a manga with an exciting plot that keeps you thinking!

Synopsis

The main character, Nao Kanzaki, is drawn into the Liar Game Tournament unexpectedly and is forced to play the game in order to avoid going into debt. The basic rules of the game is that players are loaned money in the sums of millions and has to play against each other in a round to determine the winner. Games within each round vary but mostly involve strategy games, e.g. poker, voting, etc. The money is basically used as a key motivating factor in the game influencing player's decisions to avoid going into debt or to make a fortune. Inevitably, players turn to cheating to try to gain an upper hand against opponents. The story takes a turn when the brutally honest Nao engage the help of a genius swindler, Shinichi Akiyama, to help her in the game.

Currently, the manga has covered six rounds (four main rounds, two revival rounds) but it seems that the mangaka is on hiatus. Not sure why though.

Hmm I really thought that Liar Game in the same genre of manga to Death Note, just that is it more fun 'cause they are actually playing games. My friends and I even went to the extent of playing out some of the games in the manga, check Minority Rule. LOL I have even seen other forum create threads to play the game. It was hilarious! Anyway, do check it out!

Ah great! Guess I'll check out Major when I have the time...One Shot Bench looks quite promising so far.

Liar Game. you learn about scams and cheats but really smart ones at that...haha

hmm is it really that good? I don't know much about baseball so puts me off a little reading about it. but there's a new baseball manga out by Kishimoto Masashi called One Shot Bench that i'll definitely look out for. You guys seen it yet?

I like how some mangas teach morals, impart ideas and show the different way of life people lead, through their storylines. FMA is one of these great mangas. Hope to see more great work from the author!

Hi

Does anyone know more about the recent announcement from publishers about taking a stronger stance against scanlations? awww many of the useful sites no longer host manga series for online view. (e.g. Onemanga, mangahelpers etc) hmmm not a very netizen-friendly decision but i guess the authors have the right to their work..I hope they can work on a way to bring manga onto the web openly so that everyone can enjoy the awesome work by all the great mangakas.

what do you all think about this?

Lol..is Clayman considered a minor character?? She looks hot!:P

Wilkomen!! Ha I got hooked on it from the anime too! Nothing beats the surpises they spring on you as the story goes on. But I think it is the storyline that draws me back again and again! You'll find a really friendly forum down here!:D

It's Clayman for  me...She's intelligent and quite pretty as well!! Loves the art and soooo knowledgeable...

Aww guys..I tried to find a download link for Bloody Monday but it seems that the links on Baka Manga to the sites of the scanlators for volume 1 (Gievmoar & S^3) are broken..Anyone can direct me to a link to download the good stuff??  

[Edit] Ah it's fine. I found it on http://www.1000manga.com/ Just have to read it online i guess..am onto chapter 5 currently Good Stuff! It sort of reminds me of Death Note.

They look really cool!! damn clean and well-defined drawings. Ahhh the most i can do is redraw based on the original artwork You must have studied the manga alot i presume? I really wish i can draw as well as you...

Thanks for the info! It really helps to put the conversations in context now that I know why they are used.

Hmmm...come to think of it, from so much manga i read, I think can correctly derive which honorific to use in a conversation but can anyone explain them to me how and why they are used in their particular ways?? I never truely understood it ..
