Liar Game #11

Volume eleven of Shinobu Kaitani's psychological thriller Liar Game arrives in this 2012 Tonkam edition, its cover framed like a gilded painting — a fitting touch for a series built on deception and performance. Front and center stands a smiling man in a wide-brimmed blue hat, flanked by a cast of wary, watchful faces: two women and a man in the foreground, with two more figures looming behind them in an uneasy tableau. The tension radiating from every character's expression makes it clear that trust is the rarest currency in this game.
