Liar Game


Synopsis
Kanzaki Nao is an honest college student who receives a hundred million yen one day, along with a card saying she has been chosen to take part in the "Liar Game". The aim of the game is to trick the other players out of their hundred million dollars. At the end, the winner gets the hundred million and the loser is a hundred million yen in debt. The next day, she receives notification that her opponent is her former teacher, Fujisawa Kazuo.

She goes to him, seeking help, but ends up getting tricked into handing her money over. Desperate, she approaches the police for help, but they are unable to do anything. However, she is told of a mastermind swindler, Akiyama Shinichi, who is to be released from jail the next day. Desperate, she goes to him for help.

My View
A very interesting concept of how society works, where nobody really trust each other. Kanzaki Nao, a honest college student, try to break this curse by gathering all the participants to gain trust with one another so that they can get out of this game without paying any money.

However, there are times, things did not go according to her way, as people are selfish. Thus, Akiyama present makes this entire Liar Game tournament even exciting by using psychology to outwit his opponent.
