Story
College student Nao Kanzaki unexpectedly receives a mysterious letter and a suitcase containing 100 million yen, finding herself drafted into the LIAR GAME — a high-stakes psychological battle built on lies, deception, and betrayal. Naïve and honest to a fault, Nao is quickly backed into a corner and turns to Shinichi Akiyama, a brilliant former con artist, for help. Together they must navigate a twisted game where trusting others could prove fatal. In a world built on lies, can honesty prevail?
