Would you recommend Liar Game ?

[Oksus]

After finishing Death Note, I am looking for more Psychological Thrillers. And I have come across Liar Game. Has anyone read this manga and if you have do you recommend it ? What are some of it's good points ? What about some bad points ?

Definitely read it. In my personal opinion it's actually better than Death Note, but that's for you to determine.

Liar Game's an interesting case in that it's not really a story with a deep, complex plot or glorious character development, and those are typically what I look for in a story. Yet somehow Liar Game is one I'd actually give a 10/10. One might ask why this is the case. The thing about Liar Game is that it's a very psychological series with amazing wit battles and some of the most mindblowing moments in that regard.

Akiyama is probably THE smartest manga character I have ever seen. While the series' quality is subjective, I can say without a doubt that Akiyama is smarter than the Death Note characters, and only by reading the manga can you determine why. As far as the cast goes, Akiyama is probably at the top in terms of sheer intelligence, but he faces interesting adversaries with different skills (ruthless domination, charisma, etc.) and this makes for some very interesting events.

I could definitely go on but that would just delay you from reading a fantastic series, so do enjoy it. You might not be convinced at first but if you stick with it I promise that you'll at least like it a bit if you enjoy the psychological mind battle series at all.

It's one of my favorite series! I personally have it over Death Note. It's just addicting shame you have to wait so long for new chapters (breaks and what not).

There are tons of good points but here are common things it's criticized for:
-> You might not like the art. Honestly this was never a problem for me (in fact I think it's great for this genre) but some seem to dislike it.
-> Nao seems to be targeted as a bad character. Some say it's because she's just too trustful. I don't think it's a good reason since that's supposed to be the idea behind her whole psych but meh. Secondly she's not usually the one that comes up with the good plans but instead Akiyama. However, she's slowly becoming more and more useful as the series goes on. I think it's cool how the mangaka made the characteristic of trust effective in the latest round.
-> The first volume (around 7 chapters or the first Round) isn't on par with the rest of the series, so people who just read the beginning drop it too early.

I also have a thread about it in the review corner if you haven't seen it yet.
