Death Note is a favorite. If you enjoyed that you should definitely watch Liar Game. It is a live action.

The first episodes with the Teacher are okay, but it really kicks into high gear when they being playing 'minority rules' later on. Really marvelous!

If you enjoy a real challenge read The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe. It's the most rewarding puzzle I've ever tangled with. I was up for days, weeks, thinking about it afterwards.

I read the manga of Liar Game a long time ago, actually. It was also a favorite of mine.

Friend! That was to prepare you for TBOTNS. Mere homework before your final exam.

Here is an introduction by Alastair Reynolds.

It is the favorite book of a huge number of well known authors but is less known outside of their circles.

Wolfe's book is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

Have you read Usogui as well? I found it somewhat similar and interesting :)
