The romantic comedy anime Liar Liar recently concluded its first season, leaving fans wondering if the show will ever return for a second installment. Adapted from a light novel by Haruki Kuō and Konomi, the anime built a loyal following during its initial 12-episode run. In this article, we explore the possibilities of Liar Liar season 2.
Will Liar Liar Have A Second Season?
Geek Toys, the production studio behind Liar Liar, has not yet made an official announcement regarding the renewal of the anime for a second season.
The light novel is still ongoing, with 14 volumes published as of July 2023. The first season of the show covered only the initial four volumes, which means there is ample material left for a second season.
However, anime renewals depend not just on the availability of source material but also on viewership. In the case of Liar Liar, its reception has been somewhat lukewarm thus far.
As of September 25, 2023, it has a score of 6.34/10 on MyAnimeList and 5.8/10 on IMDb. Yet, many anime with similar or even lower ratings have been renewed for a second season, for example, “In Another World With My Smartphone,” so fans of Liar Liar should keep their hopes alive.

Liar Liar Season 2 Expected Release Date
While a second season of Liar Liar has not yet been confirmed, if it’s announced this year, it likely won’t premiere until at least 2025, considering the first season’s two-year development.
Additionally, studio Geek Toys has two other anime projects in the works – “Dead Mount Death Play Part 2” and a new mystery anime, “Migi to Dali.” Both of these projects are scheduled to premiere in Fall 2023, so production on Liar Liar season 2 may not start anytime soon.
Liar Liar Season 2 Cast
If Liar Liar is greenlit for season two, the following voice actors are expected to reprise their roles:
- Hiroto Shinohara as Genta Nakamura
- Sarasa Saionji as Wakana Kuramochi
- Shirayuki Himeji as Yukina Shutou
- Tsumugi Shiina as Yurika Moriyama
- Nanase Asamiya as Saori Oonishi
- Noa Akizuki as Rika Tachibana

In addition, digital copies can be purchased on Amazon Kindle, Google Play Books, Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble Nook, and comiXology. At the moment, only the first volume of the novel has been translated into English.
Conclusion
While Liar Liar’s season 2 renewal remains in limbo, the anime has potential for continuation, given ample source material and a small core audience. However, its modest reception dims its prospects. For now, fans can only hope Studio Geek Toys sees enough promise in this rom-com to give it another chance to shine. Liar Liar’s fate rests in the studio’s hands – until an official decision, the waiting game continues.
Those who haven’t watched the anime’s first season yet can stream it on Crunchyroll.
