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.

LN cover looks a bit ecchi and the plot sounds pretty generic. Guess I shouldn't have my expectations too high.

I liked this tweet which says "it's a lie day but it's not a lie".

Considering the marketing and it's popularity this was just a matter of time. They tried to confuse people by announcing it on 1st April.

I was interested in this ever since the 1st LN vol released and i hope the adaptation doesn't turn out to be generic

Yeah! finally, it's coming. Adapting to the fourth volume might be the best choice.

The covers and artworks are quite ecchi, but apparently, in the LN there are not that many ecchi scenes.

I can already tell from the cover alone that this is not for me.

When you have a girl in a pose like this with a big bust it's pretty much a dead giveaway that's it's going to be ecchi trash so no thank you!

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

I hope that's true.

Anyway, I've been following the Twitter page for a while so I'm at least interested in checking it out.

A psychological anime? If it’s as good as Kakegurui, Count me in

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.

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.

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.
Well I for one already loved Lain.

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?

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

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

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

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.

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.
