About Danganronpa

The Danganronpa series began as a visual novel-style game that focuses on different protagonists in each game. While nearly every character is different in each game, the main premise remains consistent. A group of characters incredibly skilled in a specific skill are gathered in a locked building and given an ultimatum by the mastermind of a deadly game, who is often a robotic bear named Monokuma. They are told that, in order to escape, they must literally get away with murdering someone else in their group. After a murder occurs, a trial is held where the group attempts to get to the bottom of the murderer. If they succeed, the murderer is executed. However, if they fail, the rest of the group is killed, and the murderer gains their freedom. That said, each game has its own original characters to get to know, a unique story to enjoy, and many secrets to uncover. An anime adaptation of the first game was produced by Studio Lerche and began airing in 2013. Later, in 2016, another anime called Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School produced and aired two separate series simultaneously: "Side: Despair" and "Side: Future." The first series serves as a prequel to the original games, while the second completes the original story of "Hope's Peak Academy."
