Hello guys!

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

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! Cheesy

I love this manga. It's enjoyable in the sense because you never know what's going to happen. Feels like Shinobu Kaitani is making stuff up sometimes. Overall I'd say it rather enjoyable if you skim over his 'logic'

I'm fan too, somehow it reminds me Death Note.

Like the drama too even though the character of Nao is too much "baby-like" for me

I tried to read it, but didn't like it.

[spoiler]The fact that she could have left the game but still got tricked to going back (even knowing that the "lawyer" guy was from their organization) was so unnatural and annoying that I couldn't keep on reading.[/spoiler]

I'm about halfway though with Liar Game and for the most part and quite impressed. Hopefully I'll have time to finish up the rest soon.

Love this manga, easily one of my favorites.  Makes me mad that we haven't had updates in ages though.
