THE REAL MAIN CHARACTER HAS BEEN REVEALED !!

Kind of sad that this Nao moment gets glossed over so much because of everyone swarming over Kikuzawa’s “surefire strategy”.

NOMINATE AND VOTE NAO FOR BEST GIRL OF SPRING 2026 !!

I would like to start off this post by saying that it’s my first time in spaces like r/anime, so I apologize for any mistakes I make.

Now to the important parts.

This is the first year that our girl, Nao Kanzaki, is eligible to be nominated for BGC. And frankly, I think she should win(definitely not biased).

For those who are unfamiliar with this contest, you can click the link that I put above to read about it, as well as participate.

All you have to do is click on the Nominate link on the original post and type in Nao Kanzaki, along with the source (Liar Game) and a picture of her.

If we all rally as a sub, there’s a chance she could get on a bracket or potentially win.

Please help raise Nao to the top as she deserves all the recognition she can get !!

Happy voting !!

Why did they change the dress from red to green?

I'm sure that no one truly cares about this that much but I'll point it out regardless. I've seen lots of people saying they pictured the dress as red, and that's for a reason. I wonder what made this another one of their changes.

Anyways, do you guys prefer it green or red?

Fun silly little headcanon.

I would like to start off by saying how Michiko shows up for 5 seconds and mogs the whole cast. She’s probably my favorite one-off character.

An episode or two back, someone made a theory that she was actually working for the LGT and I found that really interesting. It’s not canon but who knows 🤷‍♀️. Maybe we just weren’t told about it. But let’s say for the sake of this theory/headcanon, this theory isn’t true.

Okay, here’s where the headcanon actually starts. Starting off, Michiko (atleast in the anime, I forgot what she looked like in the manga) looks very similar to Nao. The hairstyle and features are very very similar. Even down to their guilty conscience.

As we know, Michiko came back to the Liar Game venue only to give back the 100million yen she won in the first round. Let’s think about that for a moment. She managed to steal 100 million yen from her opponent. Doesn’t she seem abit too timid and fragile to be able to pull something like that off? Even more (atleast I would say so) ruthless players only managed to steal 10-20million yen. IIRC, Nao was the only one who was able to take the whole pot.

My theory is she had her own Akiyama who helped her steal the 100 million, but unlike our Akiyama, this Akiyama leaves her after the first round. Then again, did she not have to pay her hypothetical Akiyama? Who knows.

What do you guys think about this? Was this kind of stupid? Yeah. But please remember, this is just for shits and giggles and I might be going a bit insane waiting for next episode.

I’m so proud of my girl.

I’ve been rereading the whole series lately, mostly because of the new anime and my LG hyper fixation back full force. Also because I feel like I’ve forgotten a lot of the detailed plot and I can’t have that.

One thing about Liar Game is it’s so easily rereadable. Everytime, it’s just as exciting and thrilling. And it’s definitely a series that you notice new things everytime you reread.

It’s genuinely so satisfying to watch Nao grow as a person and it’s not unrealistic. She doesn’t become a genius like Akiyama just because she played the Liar Game. She doesn’t abandon her morals in favor of winning the game. It’s still the same Nao but stronger.

I do like Nao as the moral compass and support. I genuinely think that because of her optimistic mindset, she’s always able to find the bright side in a dire situation and lift everyone’s spirits(e.g. this and in >!the beginning of the last stage).!<

It’s a shame she gets sidelined in the upcoming final round. I really wish that she could’ve played a bigger role.

Anyways, that’s two people who said she’s grown stronger !!

People switching up on Liar Game

Since the 6th (and best ep by far) episode of the anime came out, I’ve seen a lot of people saying that this anime might actually be good and they’re really enjoying it and that makes me so happy. This is just the minority rule too so I can’t wait to see how people feel by the end of the anime with the contraband game.

Another thing I see a lot of is people hoping that the anime shifts its focus onto Akiyama and slowly lets Nao fade out. I mean, Akiyama does carry the whole anime on his back at this point of the anime.

I understand that they find Nao annoying and dumb and quite frankly, in this stage of the manga/anime, she is. But I also wish they could understand that Nao being the main character is crucial to the development of the story. As time goes on, they’ll see how she’s essential to most of Akiyama’s plans.

I really do hope people warm up to Nao and begin to see how great she is as the anime goes on. I’ll be excitedly awaiting the day when loving Nao Kanzaki is mainstream.

Lastly, we’re only on Episode 6 and people are already switching up on Liar Game which makes me excited for what the future awaits. Hopefully it will be popular enough to get a potential season 2 and a budget increase(please).

Our lovely mod, Crez, posted asking if we should just make a megathread for all the Nao hate and criticism and I initially said no because I personally didn’t see that many posts about, atleast not in this subreddit. Like sure, I’ve seen them on other platforms, mainly youtube, but this subreddit seemed to only have about a few of em, maybe one or two every week (which is already annoying enough).

And so I said just that in my comment and also mentioned that it feels abit suffocating to censor the subreddit because yes, Nao is the kind of character that is bound to get hate from people who just view her on the surface as “crying, whiney, annoying baby hanging on to Akiyama”. But whatever, right?

Then I went to check the actual home page of the subreddit and found out that I only saw the “best” posts and so I clicked on “New” instead.

And bam. I suddenly got a hit of Nao hate and was completely aghast at how many there were.

I checked a few of them and they all said the same thing over and over, which was actually painful. Some of the posts were downright ragebait and I was considering whether to even interact with them or not.

To all the Nao bashers, it doesn’t matter what we say to you so I’ll just say this. There are hundreds of other posts saying the exact same shit as you are. You’re not special and you don’t need to post a new Nao hate post every single week. We get enough as it is.

And for my answer (though I’ve already said this in the original post), YES. Please yes, make a megathread.

Was this post necessary? No. Did I make it anyway? Yes.

Someone here commented on one of my posts saying that they love Akiyama having a skinny build rather than the typical protagonist thicc build and I agree. I guess that was kind of thrown away in the anime.

I want to know how he got this build since he’s been in prison and only got out for abit over a month at this point? Prison gym? Maybe construction work but realistically, he’s only been working for like a week or so.

Also from the outside, he doesn’t look as fit 😭. He’s the definition of a sleeper build, ay?

Anyways, I’m not complaining. I love me some eye candy.

I’m rereading the manga for the zillionth time(seriously i thought i got rid of this hyperfixation, now I’m back in it DEEP) and I noticed that Nao gets her period during one of the most stressful games ever.
