I recently played the game Danganronpa and I really loved it. So far I have only played the first one, but I’m excited to play the next one soon. The premise of the game is that fifteen students attend the elite Hope’s Peak Academy and each student is the Ultimate something—Ultimate Writer, Ultimate Gambler, etc. You play as Makoto Naegi, a normal student who was randomly chosen to be in Hope’s Peak Academy as the Ultimate Lucky Student. However, when Makoto enters Hope’s Peak for his first day at school, he passes out. He wakes up seemingly hours later with no memory of what happened to him. He meets the fourteen other students and together they meet Monokuma, a black and white teddy bear who introduces himself as their headmaster. Monokuma reveals that they are locked inside the school and can never leave. The only way the students can graduate is if they kill one of their fellow students and get away with it. After anyone is murdered, a trial takes place. If the murderer is caught, he is killed by Monokuma, but if the other students can’t figure out who the murderer is and pick the wrong person, then the murderer gets to graduate and Monokuma kills everyone else.
It sounds like a somewhat bizarre premise, but it is actually really fun. The plot about what is going on at Hope’s Peak is very intriguing, and all the characters are interesting and well developed. One of the most interesting characters is one you never really get to meet—not really, anyway—and that character is the subject of the fic I’m reccing today.
