...What the heck was with that ending.
The series starts with the promise of sexual intercourse and yet there isn't even so much as a kiss.
I thought it was just one more chapter until I noticed the words "END" in the page.
At least I did learn that you can eat "uncooked" bacon. That really blew my mind.
Considering trying that, but my heart still tells me "no, that's wrong".
The series did manage to convince me that droll is sensual and there's nothing wrong with licking it.

Thin strips are fine, taste like extra fatty ham. Don't try to eat a slab of bacon, even oven cooked, or you'll be stuck in the toilet all day.

Shivering from this exciting match. Kyoutani is so good on the Aobajosai side, but then Hinata. His panel was too amazing.
Sorry for the ridiculous multi-quote but I think given the reactions you guys are very disappointed with the ending and if I just wrote a normal post, it's likely that it will be overlooked. Now, I can't guarantee if you will like this interpretation of Liar Game's ending but I am pretty sure there will be never be a sequel for Liar Game. I think the author intend is bring attention to China's authoritarian regime.
1. Top left panel on page 2 in Chapter 201 is a hint to Tiananmen Square protests
2. The novel in question in liar game was published 25 years ago which coincide with the above incident date.
3. The producer that was murdered is of chinese descent.
These 3 points were very obvious to the chinese readers ( including taiwanese folks ) so there was quite some out-roar on this ending. There are also a few who doesn't like political stuff to be shoehorned into this manga.
But I think most of this is a pre-emptive strike by the author because if the manga Liar Game is indeed censored by the chinese government in any form because of its content, it would be like an replicate of the events in the manga. This is why I doubt there will ever be a sequel. Or if you look at this from another angle, I think Akiyama once criticised about the attitude of 'being indifference to others' in real life or Liar Game. So perhaps the author is doing the same thing here or at least subtly advocating people not to.

Liar Game - END
This is a very nice post, and now I understand that the 4 kingdom games wasn't just an obvious reference to China, but had ties to the Liar Game itself. Thanks (also for picking up other people posts)!
To tell you the truth, the ending doesn't really bother me that much. It's one of those "cliffhanger - the real enemy isn't dead yet" that sometimes work and some other times don't. In this case it came after the series was already "tired" and outstretched plus, the ending puts the MC in the background, so it wasn't very satisfying.
I think LG started going downwards during the arc after the guys lost against yokoya and they had to undergo a "reparation game". It got less intriguing and the strategies became less and less interesting.

Thanks for the post. Yes, while i can appreciate author intent, i still think the execution is very lacking. The setup for the whole reveal, and the fact that the game not as intriguing as the previous game. If the author put the foreshadow or hint throughout the game, instead of just putting in a latest chapter, i think the ending will be perceived better. As of now, it feel very abrupt.

Are you planning to keep buying the series for potentially 15 more years?
Ha, challenge accepted. Haven't been reading manga lately so couldn't really add anything here. Let's see if I can get some steady reads going. I need a break from those boring things called books.

If you don't mind buying 20something volumes at once, sure.
It's pretty cheap, the first box set is just less than 100 dollars on Amazon right now and that'll end up to being like 4 something per volume.
Just know what you are getting yourself into. (Hint: One Piece will never end)

Yeah, I catched the reference quite fast. Actually I felt that the manga already had some social commentary (not political) in, for me it was clear the author intent of commenting about capitalism and individualism. So the ending, though had several references to the chinese actual goverment (which also is the perfect example of a new born capitalism king except in name), felt more a commentary over the actual status quo in our world, where an elite seems to govern and decide what goverments should do, is not the illuminati theory, but you may remember what happened in Europe, where the speculation of the debt in some countries had devastating effects in our economy.
Given the recent popular movements in differen parts of the earth, and how it questioned the actual status quo (we just had the greece case, in which a new political party won the elections debanking the 2 major parties for like 30 years and with promises to fight the dictamens and decisions of this elite), I feel that was the intention.
The problem is not the message but the delivery, the whole documentary thing was almost laughable, it was played as some sort of very clever plot twist but it ended as was one of the worst Shyamalan-like twist I saw.

If it keeps me entertained, most definitely.
Plenty of free time, which is why I wanted to dive into something like this.
Yeah, I saw that boxset 1 & 2 are heavily discounted right now. I got my tax refund, so I figured I'd buy the two and put the rest in savings.If you don't mind buying 20something volumes at once, sure.

Both sets will be here by next week! $216 isn't so bad for 46 volumes. I can't wait.

It's time for you to realize eventually everything goes to that big hiatus in the sky.
Nah, buy Bleach instead!
Can't go wrong with the king.
I've been thinking about buying volumes again since I'm not really following the scans anymore. Shit's expensive though.
What series is this?

Shokugeki no Soma 104 and Fall Classic Arc END
Hayama's still an arrogant douchebag for some reason (not explained). I wish it didn't feel so much like they were trying to set up "this is the ending for the season of the the anime." It feels like this because they didn't really set up anything else in terms of a new arc, although I guess Eizan is still around and still angry at Soma for ruining his Kaarage stand business. For being the main bad guy in this arc, he sure did have an ultra minor role - it turns out all he did was "hire" Mimisaka to try and make Soma lose, and we never even find out about this until after the fact.
Anyways, we've reached the end of the Fall Classic arc (formerly the "Election," which makes no sense since there's no real prize), so I guess we can look back at it and see what we think. I think its well done for a tournament arc and I like that the "fights" rarely last as long as fighting-series tournament rounds, but the explosion of characters seemed a bit unecessary (Chinese girl, stalker girl, etc.). The preliminaries in particularly took way too long and had way too much backstory on random characters I don't care much about, but its not even remotely Bleach levels of random character nonsense. But in the end, its probably not fair to criticize that since I think its just world building and trying to show that its not just Soma and Curry Guy ruling the roost.
I'd say the arc is a solid B+ on the Big One rating scale.

And the "hire" fucking lost so that means Soma "won" that dispute then? lol what a waste of fucking time.
Also no Erina challenge is a bummer since it would be nice seeing her roflstomping some idiot to show that they have some ways to go (especially if she's just the 10th seat).
New arc i guess so yay?

Well that was a great ending chapter. Kurokiba Ryou and Soma acting silly over the dish was the best part, and Hayama calming down a bit was fun.
Forced romance scene was awkward and out of place.

I have no idea what forced romance scene you're even talking about, I assume Hayama and Jun? The fact that Hayama has a crush on Jun has been obvious from the first chapter Hayama appeared in.
