Great Pretender is a Japanese anime series which aired on Netflix. The series premiered on June 2, 2020.
Makoto Edamura is supposedly Japan's greatest swindler. Together with his partner Kudo, they try to trick a Frenchman in Asakusa but unexpectedly get tricked instead. The Frenchman, whom they tried to swindle, turns out to be Laurent Thierry- a much higher-level 'confidence man,' in control of the mafias. Edamura is yet to find out what fate awaits him, after having engaged in the Frenchman's dirty jobs...!
The pressure is on as everyone watches Makoto make the first batch of Sakura Magic, but with Agent Dickens in his ear, things take a very serious turn.
