Story(10/10)- Liar Game is a game about obtaining other people assets, most of the time it's money. The way to obtain it is various, but any act of violence is out of the question, so you won't see any gore content, just pure psychological and mind wars. The game starts with the game master lends money to each player and collects the same amount at the end of the game. The game went into multiple stages, where the winner step up to next stages and the losers step out of the game. There are various outcome in each game, in which even the losers can
...
step out of the game with lots of money, or even the winner chose to step out of the game by paying compensation. Of course the story progress with the main characters to the very final game. The story ends with a message that opened my eyes in more than one way. And in my opinion, you won't believe that the author has the better ending than any ending you could think of. He has the story finished in his arsenal by the time he published the first chapter. That's how compact the story is.
Art(8/10)- I can't say the art is the best, but the expression clearly delivered as it meant to be. You won't be able to fuss about the art, when you are too immersed with storyline, twist, wits, and such.
Character(10/10)- Every big role character were portraited as symbol, at least for me. Here is what I meant by that, I can't put my shoe in Nao Kanzaki/Akiyama Shinichi/Norihiko Yokoya shoes because they have extreme personalities, Nao is an extreme case of foolishly good natured honest person, Akiyama is an extreme case of 100 moves rat guy, while Yokoya is an extreme dictator that even surpass hitler. But surprisingly I found myself in supporting character's shoes most of the time. I found myself got overwhelmed by the main characters personalities, which is a unique experience.
Enjoyment(10/10)- I spent two weeks finishing 203 chapters. Not because I got bored, but I tried to read between the lines for every chapters. There is something to learn in every dialogue, and when I put them together and finished an arc, I got amazed by how each game reach it's conclusions. I found them the most enjoyable.
Overall(10/10)- The best manga I have read so far. I can feel the author's feeling through every messages he tried to deliver to the readers. It makes you went out there and stop reading a new manga for a week or two, because the message is that powerful.
