Yeah. it's a shame no one's picked it up for the US.

...and it's a bigger shame no one I could trust to actually translate it and not half-ass it would pick it up.

I remembering reading the synopsis of this manga a while ago, (so my impression of it might be a little iffy,) and I thought that it could make for an interesting game-/gambling-themed anime (a la Saki or No Game, No Life).

I'm fairly certain that Share is just flat out ran by the Japanese government at this point.

Seriously, Japanese peeps: Tor + IRC = golden.

Are these "unemployed" people making money from uploads? If not, it would be interesting to hear what their perspective on these uploads is. Doing it for the thrill or do they feel everyone deserves free access to an artist's work?

Nothing to see here folks, just another day in the office when it comes to piracy.

We may not have the manga. But we already have 2 live-action series on CR and SoompiTV (one from South Korea, and one from Japan)

SoompiTV-Liar Game K-drama adaptation

Liar Game J-drama adaptation which you can either watch on Crunchyroll or SoompiTV.

This kind of ironic if you consider what this great series is all about.
Part 2 when? And where is my romantic subplot at Mr. Shinobu?
The life action stuff looks like trash so i am stying away as per usual.

I saw the J-drama version of the series. It was ok. The manga was far better.

As I may have benefitted from this guy uploading chapter 197, I appreciate his efforts. This is one of my favorite manga series and am looking forward to part 2 as well.
