| Sounds interesting. I might give it a shot. |
 |
| One more from that genius! Will read. |
| Will read. But I wished he would let somebody else take care of the art :o |
 |
| Oh boy Guess it'll be a different experience to read a work of his while it's still publishing for once Either way, hope it can be as good as the other two |
  |
| Don't think his work is as good as everyone says but still it's enjoyable enough so I'm curious. |
 |
| Another mahjong manga? Fucks sake... |
| Good stuff, Liar Game was great, so I'm expecting this to be good as well. I just hope it won't have a lot of breaks like Liar Game had. |
 |
| Friend has always recommended Liar Game, so I guess it's time I finally get started on it. Sounds interesting. I'll probably pick it up |
    |
| mahjong manga...huuh |
 |
| YES! I'm excited. Wish it was something other than mahjong though..nevertheless, I'll read it. |
| This one is gonna be cool. i hope this one will be fun mahjong manga like Akagi. |

amateur said: Another mahjong manga? Fucks sake... Is this bad or something? Elaborate. I know Akagi is popular but its done a by someone else Liar Game anime adaptation when? |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| Mahjong Man this guy wants to be FKMT so bad ┐(￣ー￣)┌ Will read it, loved his other manga! |

galimx said: Mahjong.... Meh. I always wanted to watch/read Akagi, but I dont know anything about mahjong so RIP. Watched Akagi without any knowledge about Mahjong whatsoever and enjoyed myself just fine. It's more about the suspense and satisfaction you get from the enemy player being all like 'BAKANA!' |
 |
| I sure hope that this gets as popular as Tetsuya did so we can have a mahjong boom like when Hikaru no Go made go popular for a while. The main character sounds kind of like Kei from Tohai though. I hope that the author innovates some and distinguishes this series from other mahjong manga. |

| Wohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Btw does anyone know where to read the missing volumes of One Outs |
| Wohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo |
Baitdragon16 said: As far as I know, nowhere. The guy who translated the manga intentionally skipped a bunch because the anime covered that part, so he picked up the manga translation from the point where the anime leaves off instead. Thus if you want to experience the full story in English you have to watch the anime first and then pick up the manga from chapter 82 or so and keep reading until the endWohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Btw does anyone know where to read the missing volumes of One Outs I was pretty surprised too when I found out but yeah |

| I saw "Liar Game" in the title and for a second I thought maybe it was getting an anime :/ Maybe someday... |
| definitely looking forward to it |

| Gud gud, very good |
 |
| So, will it have lesbians with super power |
| I was really excited, but galimx said: I dont know anything about mahjong so RIP. I'll still check it out, but hopefully it won't be too much of a problem. Though, I usually wanna know everything that's going on when I watch a sports anime or something like this. |
| One Outs and Liar Game are one of my favorite manga. I love this mangaka. I also watched Akagi and loved it without knowing any rules of Mahjong. This is also the first time for me reading a work of Shinobu when it's publishing, I hope it won't turn out less enjoyable. :/ Adapting Liar Game would be quite hard, for those who read it know how much text and explanation this manga has. It sometimes took a whole chapter to explain the rules of a new game. |

I gave the same answer lol |
All credit goes to Sacred. |
| Sounds terrible. LG's third game was his peak obivously. |
| I nearly got excited because I thought they might have adapted Liar Game, but nay. |
