Imagine a situation when you finally arrive at home after a hard day at work. You are tired and the only thing you wanna do right now is to eat something take a bath and lie down on a sofa all evening watching TV. You cross the doorstep and you see a huge amount of money around 1 milion USD and a card saying that you have to participate in the game where you have to either steal 1 milion form an appointed person or lose yours and fall in a huge debt. What would you do? The answer is obvious go to the authorities and report a scam. Well that what our protagonist did. Kanzaki Nao a super honest girl went to a lawyer and got herself fooled into playing a game she wanted to avoid. Fortunately in this deadly game she has a really powerful ally an inteligent excon Akiyama Shinichi. Liar Game is a psychological manga written and ilustrated by Shinobu Kaitani the author of One Outs. Thats why the manga has a peculiar style which not everyone might like. I personally enjoyed his drawings and cant imagine this work with a diffrent art. There are moments where characters have really odd expression and I dont think that is purposeful though. http://i.ur.com/dNtNt.jpg In LG you will meet various characters and many of them have their own motives and wellwritten background. We got a trap a con artist a foolishly honest girl and even cult members. They are gonna participate in a game divided into stages. In every stage there will be a different game and every one of them is going to be harder and will require more and more effort. You wouldt even think how complicated could be a game of musical chairs or a minority rule no not a majority rule. The comic shows us how people behave in stressful situations and when the plan is not going how it was supposed to be. I think that the main goal of this manga is to show people how they should behave in a tough situations. How greedy people are and what could they achieve by trust and teamwork. https://pbs.tw.com/media/CDbx1UxUsAAJlmF.jpg Liar Game is without a doubt the best manga I have ever read. The variety of characters the complexity of games and the hidden agenda makes the manga attractive for everyone who likes psychological wars. I hope I encouraged you to take a look at LG. I also hope that there are not many mistakes in the text cause Im not a native speaker and still learning a language.
