Liar game is a Japanese manga which is quite similar to kurosagi. It has been produced as drama also which is already over. There was season 1 and season 2 of the drama. The final ending was a movie which has been released last year. Even though, the drama is already finished, the manga is still continued even today.
The lead protagonist - a scrupulously honest college student named Nao Kanzaki - receives a package containing 100 million yen (about 1 million dollars) and a note that she is now a contestant in the Liar Game Tournament. In this fictional tournament, contestants are encouraged to cheat and lie to obtain other contestants' money; those who lose have to bear a 100-million-yen debt. When Nao's first opponent - a trusted friend and teacher - steals her money, she seeks assistance from a con man named Shin'ichi Akiyama. Through subsequent volumes, Nao and Akiyama advance through different rounds of the Liar Game Tournament against merciless contestants, while at the same time attempting to free their opponents from debt and to defeat the Liar Game organization from within.
Based on the drama, the Liar game is finished for good but the ending was quite a letdown. There was only 1 game in the final and it almost similar with season 1 game which is a vote game with slightly different rule. Anyway, the movie was fun and interesting, it’s just lack dramatic climax only. Overall, this is a good drama and movie to watch.
