Oh wow. I've been following this series for awhile now but it's finally ending? I can't say I'm too surprised about this news though. Still sad to see it go soon..

Hope this gets an anime adaptation in the future.

Having fan translated chapters 98-113 (and suffered through TDX's gibberish version of 114 and onward), I wish there was an official English release translated by someone who actually knows what passes for good English writing.

Kind of surprised we haven't gotten this here. It seems like it would do well with American manga fans.

I've enjoyed this manga. I knew it was approaching its end and while I'll be sad to see it go because of Akiyama's thinking, but I'm glad to see it go on a good note.

I actually can't really accept this!

I've been following this for about 5 years, and the final arc isn't up to standards!

I wanted a full out battle between Akiyama and Yokoya without all the morons around, but this game has been so anti-climactic!

I am so sad! This has been my absolute favorite manga for so many years and it's ending like this. . . . I will cry while reading!

Also! I want an official translation so that I can finally buy them!

As something who hasn't been following the series, why is the title called "Liar Game"?

That reminds me, I need to watch the J-drama and K-drama adaptation.

I'm not sure if this will get an anime adaptation, but you can watch the J-drama adaptation on Crunchyroll, and the K-drama adaptation on SoompiTV.

Well because it's the spoiler[name of a tournament where contestants are encouraged to cheat and lie to obtain other contestants' money, with the losing ones forced to bear a debt proportional to their losses].

It's kinda help if you use Wikipedia (or any internet source) instead of just asking people around.

Great series! An official release would be great to have! I am watching the Korean version currently. So far I prefer the Japanese style, though. Now that the series is to be concluded, wishing a new movie or even a season 3 with or without Nao-chan.
