I think the show kinda implied she had trouble getting jobs because she was too honest in job interviews. Too honest to eat either. Sigh Apparently, honesty is how Japanese women keep their size -1 <100lbs figure.

Anyway there was a scene where it looked like she worked part-time at an old folk's home. Actually I think that was the one scene that warmed my heart for this sweet, good hearted idiot. Smile

On the topic of Nao, what exactly does her character do? I mean, besides participating in the Liar Game, does she have a job/income? Is she a student? Sorry if this has been answered somewhere! I must not have been paying attention...


I'm not sure that Nao is capable of doing anything.

(but seriously - I have wondered that too - I mean, don't these people have jobs?)

Are you talking about the scene when she was pushing a old guy in a wheel chair? If so, that's her dad. Isn't her dad in the hospital. I wonder how she pays from him to stay inthe hospital?

Hey guys,

Did you have nice LG watching?

@ tatsuri - How do you know the old guy is in the wheelchair is her dad? I don't remember the scene with her pushing a wheelchair or working in a home? Which ep or is it the opener (I kinda skim those).

@ JKH - My guess as to what Nao does...
Well she has a big house or is it just a room in the big house? - and no parents around (well except for maybe wheel chair guy being her dad. I think shes and orphan living off some inheritance... or maybe insurance $.

oooohhhh wouldn't it be interesting if wheelchair person/ nao were somehow connected to Akiyama's mom (hmmm did someone say that already?)

So what could nao do. Seems like if she worked with people they would always use her as a scapegoat and get her fired OR dump their work on her. She would probally have to do something simple away from others. I dunno stuff envelopes at home???

That guy in wheel chair IS Nao's father. The website says so. She also said she needed to take care of her father with terminal cancer in the hospital twice in ep 1.

She lives in a room in that house looking thing. Her mother is probably dead and her father, as I said earlier, is in the hospital. She is not so poor she has to worry about where to get the money for food or rent. But she is not very rich either.

In the manga she had a summer job. That's supposed to show while she is self-efficient, she is not rich.

This is what they said in the manga on how Nao deals with others:
Hidden:

Apparently Nao doesn't have any close friends because getting close to others, understanding them more, would heighten the chance of her knowing who is lying to her and using her.

So in the end, Nao, because she thinks doubting = bad just never get close enough to anyone.

In other words, in the manga, Akiyama is the first person she tried to get closer to for a very long time.

@ orichan - Thanks for the confirmation and clarification.

@ furransu - I have hope that Nao altough not very bright has MAJOR Karma points accumulated that will pay out.

Ahh, see, the scenario you laid out is exactly what could make us emphasize with Nao and give Erika something to chew on. Maybe they'll develop Nao's story more.

^lol what.

Well I certainly HOPE your prediction is right and she'll grow some brains + spine as the series progresses. She's certainly very cute as she is (it makes you want to pat her on the head and go "You poor thing 8D"), but cute's not going to work in a drama called LIAR GAME =P

Though Akiyama's supposed to be the star of the show anyway, not Nao.

where oh where do you people down load the manga? lolz.. i really really want to know the story line. coz usually the manga is way better than anime or action live.. ;)


to those who hate NAO:
have you guys ever thought that without her idiocacy in the series, you won't be this agitated discussing what idiotic move she will do next? hehe.. its part of her role. and the role also fits her so well. we are all rooting for her next break down don't we? without her in this, its not liar game anymore. it will all be about nakayama, but if he will only be the one playing the game, there won't be any excitement anymore... coz he's that cool. but with the idiotic nao in the scene... it gets more interesting. (but i know you guys would still hate her, but i was just throwing a thought)
