Yahoo, a NEW review from me in a very long time, haha. Been busy with work last year and so haven't written any review. This story is a perfect example of oyaji seme x tsundere uke (゜U ゜), haha...just what I love the best. Shimano is the son of the firm owner and is working inside the firm to gain experience. He is smart, handsome, and rich but he actually works hard (so it's not the fool who's just hanging around). Everyone respects him in the company but not Kurokawa, his superior, who seems to be pouring things for him to do. This Kurokawa is a funny guy because though he is very good at his job, in private he is messy and behaves like an old man occasionally. One night after meeting with the client, Shimano missed the last train and Kurokawa invited (more like forced though) Shimano to his small and filthy apartment. Shimano complained about being cold and so Kurokawa hugged him as if he were a pillow ^_^;;. That probably was the first time when Shimano began to have feelings for Kurokawa (because the latter looked very lonely). Kurokawa actually got married but divorced two years ago. Story becomes quite generic afterwards ... Shimano was refused by a client and Kurokawa was there when he was depressed and then he fell in love but felt troubled because of love. Then came Kurokawa's ex-wife who's pretty, extremely intelligent, and looked good with Kurokawa. Of course, it's a happy end ...at least at the end of the first volume but Shimano was actually surprised to find that Kurokawa knew him for a long time...long before he started working in the firm...

This is a manga serialized in Young Jump by Kaitani and so far there are 4 volumes. The fifth book is going to come out this month. Liar Game has also been made into Japanese TV drama and probably some people may have seen the drama. I read the manga and I instantly fell in in love with Akiyama (^_^;;) and that's why I read as many volumes as I can find.
The story in Liar Game is very simple. Kanzaki Nao is a very honest girl and she doesn't know how to cheat but is constantly being cheated because of her personality. Her mother died when she was an infant and her father is suffering from terminal illness. One day, she received a card inviting her to join the "Liar Game". On the card, it said if she did not want to join, she should not open the packet but she did not notice the small font till she opened the packet to find 100 million yen. The money was her "chips", her capital in the game. She would have to play against another player (with equal amount) and try to get as much money as she could from the other player. She could win up to 100 million but she might also lose up to 100 million. Should she lose, she would have accumulated 100 million debt! Nao's opponent was her high school teacher, whom she respected. However, she did not know the teacher had the intention to cheat her money right from the beginning. Not knowing what to do, Nao searched for help everywhere but her only hope seemed to be a genius conman - Akiyama Shinichi.

Masashi 九曜雅司(CV: Konishi Katsuyuki ) is strong, good-looking and #1 host. However, he has no idea that he will fall in love with a cute worker at a pet store at first sight. The name of the worker is Takahashi Saki 高橋沙希(CV: Yoshino Yukihiro)and he loves animals. He wanted to become a vet but his family is quite poor and he could not afford vet school. So, he worked in a pet store instead but he is still frequently bothered by financial troubles from home.
Masashi then came to the store and confessed to Saki that he liked him and wanted to go out with him *O*! Of course, Saki thought it was a joke or something and was annoyed because Masashi asked how much would it cost to get him. However, Masashi was quite patient and came back day after day. Later, Saki got a phone call from home saying they urgently needed a hundred thousand yen. Saki then thought of Masashi and agreed to go out with Masashi for 100,000 yen! Masashi then brought Saki home and they xxx. However, the next morning, Saki realized that his feelings toward Masashi was beyond what he initially anticipated and he decided he could not trade s*x for money. So, he left Masashi while the latter was still asleep without taking the money. Masashi found it strange that Saki would leave without taking the money. He wondered if Saki liked him just a bit and he talked to his friend and rival at the club Reiji 麗一(CV: Chiba Susumu). At the same time, Hikaru 光(CV:Yusa Kouji ) was jealous of Saki because he liked Masashi but the latter’s attention was fully given to Saki. As a result, he spread rumors so that the customers of Masashi went to the pet shop and made a fuss there. He also went to the pet shop and warned Saki that Masashi’s obsession with him would threaten Masashi’s successful career. As a result, Saki left the petshop to work in a more dodgy pet shop to avoid Masashi. Masashi was nervous as he couldn’t find Saki anywhere. Finally, after a lot of trouble, Masashi found Saki just in time to save him from being sexually harassed by the owner of his new work place. At the same time, Hikaru was also reprimanded for his behavior and being brought away by Reiji ^0^!!
