A second season of the Liar Game TV anime has been announced. The first season debuted in April and saw the broadcast premiere of its 26th and final season on September 28 at 24:00 JST (effectively September 29 at 00:00 JST).
Liar Game is an adaptation of the manga by Shinobu Kaitani. Crunchyroll’s synopsis for the anime reads:
A Mysterious Invitation. One Hundred Million Yen. The Game Begins. College student Nao Kanzaki suddenly receives a strange letter and a suitcase containing 100 million yen. She’s been chosen to participate in the LIAR GAME—a high-stakes psychological battle where lies, deception, and betrayal reign supreme. Naïve and painfully honest, Nao quickly finds herself cornered. To survive, she turns to Shinichi Akiyama, a brilliant former con artist with unmatched intellect. As they dive deeper into the twisted game, the two must outwit opponents in a world where trusting others could be fatal.
In a game built on lies, can honesty prevail?
The Liar Game manga debuted in Shueisha’s Young Jump in 2005 and released its sixth and final volume in 2014. A new manga titled Liar Game: The Last Game began in April 2026 and ended in July 2026.
The manga has also inspired a short story collection and two live-action series, one Japanese and one South Korean. The Japanese series has two movie follow-ups.
