Gordian Knot concludes our list of 6 Manga Like Liar Game with a rather interesting story. Instead of being just one tale, Gordian Knot has our main protagonist Yuki solving various challenges across Gordian Knot’s 4 volumes.

That’s why if you do decide to give Gordian Knot a try let us know in the comments what your thoughts were of the story!
