Liar Liar is based on the MF Bunko J light novel series written by Haruki Kuou, which began in 2019 and has 11 volumes as of July 2022. The series has also inspired a manga adaptation by Funa Yukina.

The story takes place on Academy Island, where the ranks of students are decided through “Games.” Hiroto is a transfer student who somehow beats the champion Sarasa and becomes the fastest to reach the rank of “Seven Star.” Hiroto’s rank is actually based on a lie, but he has to maintain his position in order to achieve his goal.
