Liar Liar

Hiroto Shinohara transfers to Academy Island, a school where status is decided through games and recorded as “stars,” with the elite holding the coveted Seven Star rank. On his very first day, he ends up crossing Sarasa Saionji—the island’s famed “Empress” and the head director’s granddaughter—and is pulled into a match born from a string of misunderstandings. When Hiroto unexpectedly comes out on top, the result puts him in a dangerous position: he has to maintain a lie about his standing, because the truth could mean expulsion from both the school and the island itself.

Backed by the enigmatic organization known as the Company, led by Shirayuki Himeji, Hiroto isn’t forced to bluff alone. As challengers line up to take down the supposed top-ranked newcomer, the Company helps him bend the rules and survive increasingly difficult battles of strategy and deception. Despite being only a One Star, Hiroto must perform like a Seven Star—while continuing his search for a girl who vanished from his past.
