Overview
Liar Game adapts Shinobu Kaitani's manga, is produced by MADHOUSE, runs 26 episodes and began airing on 7/4/2026 (the schedule lists 6/4/2026). Its heroine Kanzaki Nao is so honest that she is labelled a foolishly honest girl, yet a box holding a hundred million yen and an invitation to the Liar Game arrives at her door.
OtaHub's take
In this game, winners deceive opponents out of their money, while losers take on massive debt. The series is a psychological drama, with Yuuzou Satou as chief director, Asami Kawano directing and Tatsuhiko Urahata handling series composition. The data records LIAR GAME 2nd Season as the follow-up.
Verdict
It suits viewers who like battles of wits, double-crosses and psychological duels, and it starts from the beginning, so nothing needs to be watched first. It works best for audiences who prefer slow deduction over action.
