Liar Game review

Well, there are already too many reviews for this manga but I liked it so much I had to write my own. This is what happens when you get an actually smart author to write stuff: you get cool stuff.

It's not actually completely fullproof, though. Some of the stuff, like the smuggling game, does require suspension of disbelief (e.g. Mr. No Eyebrows should have realized the deal Akiyama made with the "spies" and found some suitable way to dissuade them immediately after they mentioned what Akiyama said in the room,) but whatever. Also, some of the games, like the 2nd round game is an example of stuff you would've come across if you studied engineering, so lol that was ruined, but otherwise it's real cool! The games are cool, thought out, and unique, the explanations are pretty good, what's not to like?

Well, the story does rely on the other characters being stupid a lot. On the bright side, who I thought would be the stupidest character is actually (plot twist!) the wisest them all. Character development is honestly like of erratic, though. Also, at the final game, it seemed like the author had run out of steam. I honestly liked the previous round much better. Finally, the ending is kind of abrupt, but it's also at a nice point where he can write a sequel if he ever feels like it, so hate the sin, forgive the sinner.

The art is great! The expressions are a treat.

Read this is you want to read an illustrated version of a trading company interview + tech company interview's bastard child proctored by Satan.
