Even if Liar Game didn't get a Season 2, The Contraband Game was still Adapted, and Revival Round 2 has been as well!

!Now, the only ones that Fans are really dying to see are the Pandemic Game and Musical Chairs. Funnily enough, both of these have been adapted in the J-Drama, although I do recommend before you go and watch J-Drama's portrayal of Musical Chairs, you get high beforehand. Trust me.!<

!Funnily enough, out of the Arcs that the J-Drama Adapted, The Contraband Game and Musical Chairs- The 2 Arcs often considered the Most Peak in the Manga- Were the ones adapted the Least faithfully. Quite the coincidence honestly.!<

!Still, the Pandemic Game is kind of needed even just from a narrative standpoint. We're promised a rematch between Nao and Akiyama, and Yokoya, and the Pandemic Game delivers on that.!<

!But once we're done that, we move on to the next Game, and we start to wonder what's going to happen now. Are we really just going to fight Yokoya again?!<

!Thankfully, the Manga anticipated this. Just like how The Contraband Game anticipated us getting sick of Nao and Akiyama VS Fukunaga, and brought in Yokoya, Musical Chairs anticipates us getting sick of Nao and Akiyama VS Yokoya, and brings in Harimoto & co. !<

!Even Still, it's slightly different. When we were facing off Yokoya, it was literally designed to be a Team VS Team Match, and Fukunaga had to work with us and slowly come to our side. With Musical Chairs though, the Teams are Gone And need to be built from Scratch as the Players wish, as the Game is designed to be a Free for All.!<

!With this, we get What I believe is honestly the single best three-way battle of wits ever made. Ever. Yeah, Usogui Fans, point to me where there's a three-way battle of wits that matches Musical Chairs.!<

!What's Fun about there being three factions of intelligence battles, is that while Yokoya isn't on our team still, we get to see satisfying blows between him and the new Big Bad, Harimoto. And yes, they do attempt to make an alliance from time to time, but it keeps crumbling because Yokoya and Harimoto both have massive egos and hate being in the palm of someone else's hand.!<

!It's This Arc, where I start to see people actively Root for Yokoya. And it's easy to see why. There are plenty of moments where he genuinely has no idea what to do. There's a Chapter towards the end where his grudge against Harimoto has gotten so great, that he decides to briefly break his number one Rule and actively work with Nao and Akiyama Very Briefly just to spite Harimoto. However, something goes wrong. One of his teammates didn't do what they were supposed to, and while it didn't affect the results, it confuses the hell out of and already stressed out Yokoya. Driven to his wit's ends, he has nothing to do but simply scream at his teammates in anger, demanding to know who just betrayed him. And furthermore, Nao then Eliminates HIS Chair. The Panel of Yokoya being surrounded by a black screen that simply shatters around him is genuinely so funny. He has no idea what to do, and it's impossible not to feel bad for him at this point. He's trying so hard to win despite being in the worst position out of the three main factions, and the other two factions are both literally on his a*s, and he's got to deal with it.!<

!Musical Chairs is genuinely a lot of fun. Yokoya and Hairmoto interact so much, that is genuinely easy to forget that they're the only two leaders really talking with each other. Yokoya only briefly talks to Nao, and doesn't talk to Akiyama at all, And Hairmoto and Akiyama only have a very brief interaction near the end, where Harimoto where is genuinely dumbstruck when he realizes how: 'strong willed' (Harimoto's Words) Akiyama is.!<

!Of course, once one has read Musical Chairs, despite it being mid, Bid Poker becomes quite appealing to read next. After all, we've got to see how the interactions go between Harimoto and Nao.!<
