The plot is simply original. In most mangas where there are sudden twists, Liar Game is full of them and, they are smartly planned out. Each challenge is psychologically related and also challenging. And they actually make sense. However, the main characters being able to solve each puzzles and use the,'actually, I had already figure that out' phrase does get kinda cheesy, but its still a good read as it keeps you on the edge to know how exactly will the mangaka pull it off.
Characters: 8
The characters are simply down to earth, they really portray just how rotten we humans are and how distrustful we've become of each other. One thing I like about this manga, is that the author made Nao a little smarter than when she first started out. Over the series, she improves and contributes to the series though you may find her to be extremely annoying. Akiyama makes us realise how stupid we, the reader are. New characters also have certain depths to their story but then, the story mainly focuses on solving and figuring out ways to deceive people that you honestly don't give a damn about the minor characters Other than the trio, Nao, Akiyama, Fukunaga and Yokoya not to mention the LGT office are the main focus of the manga. I love Fukunaga to the core. She ( I respect her wishes) is simply amazing as she makes up for Nao's stupidity.
Art:7
the art is nothing special although sometimes it may be a little off. But I give credit to the mangaka for making each character distinguishable from one another. ( I have problems with differentiating characters =_=)
Enjoyment: 9
I'm a sucker for mystery genre manga and I believe most people are too. I usually like mangas with strong female characters but Liar Game is an exception, because it never fails to disappoint me with its plot and not to mention puzzles.
Overall, Liar Game is simply one heck of a puzzle, its basically about humanities strive in trusting one another which is seriously lacking today.
