An anime project of Haruki Kuou's Liar Liar light novel was announced by Kadokawa on Thursday. The publishing company also posted a 90-second special promo, featuring voice actress Akari Kitou (Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e (TV)) as the character Sarasa Saionji.

Synopsis
At Academy Island, everything is settled through "Games" waged for a certain number of stars, with the strongest student being granted the ranking of Seven Stars. Hiroto, a transfer student, unexpectedly beats the strongest empress and becomes the pseudo-strongest in the school! A mind game of lies and bluffs begins! (Source: Kadokawa, translated)

Kuou launched the psychological game light novel under the MF Bunko J imprint with illustrations by konomi in April 2019. Kadokawa published the seventh volume on March 25. Liar Liar has a cumulative 150,000 copies of its volumes in circulation.

Funa Yukina began drawing a manga adaptation in Monthly Comic Alive in August 2019. The second volume shipped on November 21 last year.

Sounds like a hybrid between NGNL and Kakegurui from a skim of the synopsis.

A loud "meh," but I'll make a note of it and watch how it develops.

I thought the same

People comparing it to Clasroom of The Elite and Kakegurui when there are like 50 other manga/light novel with similar plot, although I don't remember the name of a single one of them. Anyway, I am just here for those thicc thighs.

I saw this half asleep and thought “oh Liar Game is finally getting an anime?” This anime is also psychological so I’ll check it out.

Just sounds like a very generic, very boneless version of Kakegurui (which already isn't exactly groundbreaking in and of itself). Hard pass.

Funnily enough, people try to see this as analogous to Kakegurui because of the psychological game, although the synopsis clearly suggests something like Kaguya, Baka Test, or Elite Class.

I never read synopsis for anime, I like being surprised. Genres and trailers are always the only ones I check out

Is there any way to read the LN in English legally? Or will I need to find a fan translation?

Was just about to say the same thing. Getting Baka and Test and Kaguya vibes from this one.

When I read about collecting stars at an island I thought about YGO but then saw this...:

unexpectedly beats the strongest empress and becomes the pseudo-strongest

What? Are LN so generic they need to compete which one has the dumbest synopsis to differentiate itself?

This looks cool and I like the character designs so I might watch this.

It says April Fool in the beginning of the video so some viewers would initially think it's just a prank but it's going to be a true anime adaptation.
