Dangan Ronpa: Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei

Hope's Peak Academy, a private high school funded by the government, is renowned nationwide as the cradle of hope and prosperity, offering a comprehensive education to 'ultimate' students from all walks of life. Through a national lottery, an ordinary but lucky student—Makoto Naegi—earns the chance to attend this prestigious institution. But on his first day, he suddenly loses consciousness and awakens in a classroom with barred windows and locked doors. As he explores the deserted, grimy hallways, it becomes clear that something is terribly wrong. Together with his new classmates, he makes his way to the gymnasium, where a deranged robotic bear named Monokuma, claiming to be the headmaster, declares: 'You will all live here from now on. If you want to go free, your only choice... is murder.' And so, fifteen high school students are imprisoned. Their strength, resolve, and humanity will be tested over and over. Why must they clash in these class trials? Who is the mastermind? And what does this shadowy figure truly desire? The battle against the looming enemy of despair is about to begin.
