About this title

Synopsis

After being inspired by Professor Yukiya Okabe, fourth-year student Shinichi Akiyama has decided to pursue graduate studies to learn more about the human mind. While Akiyama is having a one-on-one consultation with the professor, a faculty member from another department, Mitsumasa Iwashita, interrupts the two. As Iwashita urgently requests to discuss an important matter with Okabe, Akiyama cuts his consultation short. However, that does not stop Akiyama from eavesdropping on their conversation. He overhears that the science entrance examinations have been stolen, and one of his close friends, Kouichi Aratani, is accused of being responsible for this occurrence. Having known him since high school, Akiyama believes that his peer would never commit such an offense. With the guidance of his professor, Akiyama goes through every possible detail in this exceedingly intricate case. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

    Formerly a graduate student majoring in psychology, he is a "genius swindler" who took down a giant MLM scam named Shuuei to avenge his mother. He helps Nao when he sees the honest nature she had, just like his mother. Although he is not invited into the Liar Game, he enters by substituting for another player in Round II. By Round III he is respected (and feared) enough by the LGT players to become unofficial leader of the Southern Country, though he tries to keep things equal in the group. Yokoya, however, knows Akiyama had been manipulating his team mates and mocks him for it.
