Kill—or be killed. Then prove you didn’t do it.
Makoto Naegi thought he’d hit the jackpot by enrolling in the prestigious Hope’s Peak Academy—but instead, he and his classmates find themselves trapped in a deadly game orchestrated by the sadistic bear, Monokuma. The only way to escape is to commit the perfect murder—and get away with it during the ensuing class trial. As friendships fracture and secrets come to light, Makoto must rely on logic, trust, and determination to survive. Fast-paced and suspenseful, Danganronpa delivers a gripping mix of mystery, psychological tension, and high-stakes drama.
