The recent chapter made me realize, it seems Kaitani wants to touch some more surfice issues rather than "Heart vs Mind", can Liar Game be taken as some social commentary on capitalism? Recently, well in the latest chapter Yokoya revealed what happened to the losers, and it's pretty much power hungry corporations using people for their own ends. Can the whole "LGT" be just a metaphor to provide social commentary of how far we go into the capitalist world, where everything is a "game" that is becomes flat out gambling at best? But gambling with human lives now? Have we lost touch?
