I am yelling at you for the lack of more. >:-O

Hmmm? I don't really see that much of a similarity between it and Death Note. I mean, speaking in terms of visuals the two are nearly identical, the art seems like it could have been done by the same person who made Death Note, but in terms of story the only real similarity they have is the feeling that the main character is a good (or good-ish in death note. He thinks hes doing the world a favor) person on the wrong side of the law. (Though, in Liar Game I think it just feels like the wrong side of the law, I don't think anything illegal has happened.)

hmm... ill check it out **adds to read list**

It was quite gripping, I can't wait for the next chapter myself.

Also, I found a torrent for the J-Drama, I don't have any episodes finished yet, but if its as good as the manga I'm sure it will be worth watching.

EDIT: Hum, thats interesting. Apparently theres no way to download the torrent from the torrents info page. Oh well, just follow the link, click 'torrents' at the top, but 'Liar's game' into the search (the search above the torrent list, not the search on the left hand side) and scroll down till you see the file with with same name as in that link.

I first heard about it on the Stable Chaos fourms, when we were planning on coloring Fairy Tale, I think it was Draco who reccomended it, but I'm not positive.

Yes it was me...

Theres also a J-Drama based on it, but I havn't seen it yet.

That J-Drama sucked...

This sounds intriguing indeed, although the continually-try-to-outsmart deal between L and Light really bored me after a while in Death Note. I hope this doesn't. Either way I'm going to start reading it.

Yeah, it started off great, but it did eventually get to the point of absurdity, particular in the later half.

Anyhow, thanks for posting this Benign!  I'll have to check it out! 

Wikipedia says there are 6 and it is ongoing o.0 but it only describes past the 2nd round. This WAS just the 1st volume linked here right? I am teh confused @_@
and too lazy to look into it anymore -_-
lol Kanzaki in the drama was even portrayed by the actress who played Misa in the Death Note movies XD

Reminds me of gantz, Death Note only in the sense that a main character is intelligent. Seems okay so far something is kinda annoying about it though, can't really put my finger on it. Oh and what's with the eyes on the cover page? -_-

I love the art style, and it looks like it's been done by Mr.Obata, the artist behind Death Note.

o rly?

anyways, I read through when I got a chance, and finished a minute ago. At first I was confused, it hadn't even been a full volume and the "game" was already over. Still, interesting, but it just got to the good part. Didn't even explain how the "minority rule" thing works. Not as good overall as the first portion of Death Note, but still pretty decent. It also shows more of the side of human psychology, much more Lord of the Flies meets Death Note, as compared to the chess game that was Death Note.

I'll definitely have to keep up on this. But graphic novels are starting to give me a headache. Any ETA on chapter 6?

I don't like it myself. Doesn't seem similar to Death Note's at all. Death Note's art is an absolute masterpiece. This one does seem similar in the way that it's less detailed with similar character designs. Frankly, I hardly see a resemblance.

That was madness. I like it, though the end of the first game comes together like a freight truck. What I mean is that the moment the final act is revealed, you can practically call every step of the end. That may have just been for me though and I will continue to say that this is very good.

Nope, wasn't just you. It was pretty obvious to me too. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't say it was really good. Despite trying to be realistic, as with any story with this sort of premise, it's full of logical gaps and improbabilities. Actually, none of the characters were convincing to me, not a single one. I'm still interested to see how the next game plays out, but just in the first scenes of it, the fact that what's-his-face was allowed to just show up and join, despite how meticulously planned this all supposedly was, makes me question how well thought out the manga really is.
