DANGANRONPA — 高田雅史

ダンガンロンパ 希望の学園と絶望の高校生 ( DANGANRONPA: Trigger Happy Havoc ) created by 小高 和剛 ( Kodaka Kazutaka ) released in Japan on November 25th, 2010 as the first installment in the DANGANRONPA series, and was not released outside of Japan until 2014.

希望ヶ峰学園 ( HOPE'S PEAK ACADEMY )
Where do all of the uniquely talented highschoolers wind up? Hope's Peak Academy! Governmentally funded, Hope's Peak seeks out students with ultimate talents to shape their skills into adulthood, and continue bringing hope to the world.

Among the chosen students, one 超高校級の「幸運」( Ultimate Lucky Student ) is chosen VIA a country-wide raffle, in order to test whether or not luck truly exists.



苗木 誠 ( Naegi Makoto ) has been selected as the latest Hope's Peak Academy Ultimate Lucky Student, as he enters the school a strange sensation overtakes him. Eventually waking up in a classroom, Makoto explores the school to find that he, and fourteen other Ultimate Students have been trapped within Hope's Peak Academy!

The self-proclaimed new headmaster, モノクマ ( Monokuma ) explains that the goal of the academy, under his control, is to force the students to kill each other for a chance to escape Hope's Peak Academy.

The only way to escape the school alive, and return to the outside world, is to kill one of your fellow students: then get away with the murder in a deadly class trial!

コロシアイ学園生活 ( Killing School Life ) begins! The students must follow a set of rules, and if these rules are broken, the student will be punished. In what way? Who knows! But death is never off the table during the killing school life.

規則 ( RULES )

1. Students may reside only within the school. Leaving campus is an unacceptable use of time.
2. "Nighttime" is from 10 pm to 7 am. Some areas are off-limits at night, so please exercise caution.
3. Sleeping anywhere other than the dormitory will be seen as sleeping in class and punished accordingly.
4. With minimal restrictions, you are free to explore Hope's Peak Academy at your discretion.
5. Violence against headmaster Monokuma is strictly prohibited, as is destruction of surveillance cameras.
6. Anyone who kills a fellow student and becomes "blackened" will graduate, unless they are discovered.
7. Additional school regulations may be added if necessary.

学級裁判 ( CLASS TRIALS )
After the murder of a fellow student, the rest of the students must begin an investigation phase. They will seek evidence, testimonies, and anything else that may help them navigate what comes next... The deadly class trial!

If the students are not able to identify the blackened student, and vote to execute an innocent student instead: the entire student body will be exeucted, and only the killer will walk free of Hope's Peak Academy.

The stakes are high! The evidence is mounting! Make your case, or you will die alongside your fellow students, and let a killer walk free!
