من أعظم الأعمال اللى شوفتها فى حياتى بمنافسة الافلام والمسلسلات والكتب وكل شىء، سلسلة المانجا دى بتقدم نقيضين مهمين فى البشرية، ان الانسان ممكن ينحط باخلاقه وتصرفاته عشان مصالحه الشخصية، ممكن يعمل كل شىء عشان نفسه، بس فى نفس الوقت برهان ناو على الخير فى النفس البشرية كسبت وغيرت أشخاص كتير وانارت الظلام اللى جواهم، لما ضحت بنفسها هى وأكى ياما عشان تنقذ باقية المتنافسين.
كنت هحس المانجا هتبقا سخيف لو تكررت الاحداث لكن حاليا بقا فيه داعى انها تتكرر وهتحلو اكتر مع الوقت

Overall Rating: 8/10 ... if... it didnt have 19 volumes. So honest rating- 5/10.

This was original, years ago. I have no idea how I had stumbled on Liar Game but it was phenomenal, original, intriguing with so much treachery and deceit, I just couldnt get enough. Liar Game plays on human emotion from the pages until the end. A game were deception and manipulation as well as conning strategy will keep you going in the game, avoiding exceedingly vast debt and psychological trauma, one can safely say that there are no winners at the end of the line of this secretive con tournament.

The psychological evolution of the main female character Nao changes as the series progresses but unfortunately her good nature of saving even those that wronged her would get on my nerves further on. Akiyama was a well rounded character to begin with and helped Nao during the tournament.

The ending felt rushed, with made no sense as this was a 19 volumes series. Honestly, I feel like 5 maybe 6 volumes would have been enough as the battles would become more intricate, convoluted and repetitive. Since the author had written for such a long time, I would have honestly expected a better ending instead of the mess it was with holes and details left unexplained.

So do I recommend it:

I guess, but down the line if I really think about it, no... Unless you like psychological scheming dramas that last a bit too long. Kinda like soap operas!

And thus round 3 comes to an end. Nao has already shown tremendous growth in such a short time while still being herself.

a bit torn on how to rate this one-- most of the volume was a solid 4/5 just like most of the volumes, but that last chapter was really good, so it might be more like a 4.5/5? idk. That last chapter was just... *chef kiss*. THAT is what the Liar Game is all about.

Note:
vol 6= chapters 50-59

This just got way too confusing for me at some point. Glad the round is over and that there’ll be a new game.
