This year's 18th issue of Shueisha's Young Jump magazine is announcing on Thursday that Shinobu Kaitani's Liar Game thriller manga is entering its final story arc in the same issue.

The manga just returned from a year-long hiatus earlier this month after Kaitani took time off to prepare for the new arc.

In the original manga, a woman named Nao Kanzaki is caught in a dangerous high-stakes competition known as "Liar Game," and a genius con artist named Shinichi Akiyama comes to Kanzaki's aid.

Kiaitani began serialization in 2005, and Shueisha published the 16th compiled volume last May. The manga has inspired two live-action films and three live-action television series.

I don't think I've ever felt so sad to see a series go into its final arc. But I guess all good things must come to an end, even Liar Game.

I've never been so happy to see a series go into its final arc, actually. Mind, you, I don't want it to *end*, I just don't want it to *go on hiatus again* (which it was doing for *every* *game*). It's qualitatively different from the happy feelings I experienced in hearing that the current arc of bleach is the final one (I want it to die die die so I can stop reading it). In this case, I think the manga has reached its logical storyline conclusion, and now all that's left is seeing what Akiyama manages to pull through in the final stretch.

Actually that's essentially how I feel too, I was just saying that the fact that it's ending kind of has that bittersweet taste for me. Liar Game shouldn't be one of those series that stretch on and on forever. Overdoing it would only detract from its appeal. And yes, I want Bleach to end too, even though it's the only long shounen series I've followed all these years.
