LIAR GAME

What it’s about

Nao Kanzaki receives a parcel containing 100 million yen and an invitation to the LIAR GAME. The rules are simple: players must take money from each other by any means, and the loser is left with a lifetime of debt to the organisers. Her first opponent, a former teacher, deceives her and leaves her with nothing. To recover the money and help her father, Nao turns to Shinichi Akiyama, a brilliant swindler recently released from prison after bankrupting a major company. Together they enter a series of intellectual battles where psychology and game theory are the main weapons.
