The series is split into two arcs Future Arc, which follows Makoto and members of the Future Foundation as they are forced into another killing game against each other, and Despair Arc, which details events that take place prior to the first and second games.

The anime series, Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School, serves as a conclusion (and prelude) to the Hope's Peak Academy storyline featured in the above games. However, Monokuma interferes yet again, turning it into yet another killing game.ĭanganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, which takes place between the events of the first two games, follows Makoto's younger sister, Komaru Naegi, accompanied by Toko Fukawa, as both of them trek through a city ruled by Monokuma's influence, fighting against a group of murderous children calling themselves the Warriors of Hope. Hajime Hinata, a student who has no memory of his Ultimate talent, along with fifteen other students, are taken there by a rabbit named Usami, who states it to be a field trip to help the classmates make friends with each other. The sequel, Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair has a similar premise, this time taking place on a tropical island named Jabberwock.

However, if they guess incorrectly, the culprit will be able to leave the school and everyone else will be executed. If they can successfully figure out who murdered the victim, the culprit alone will be executed.

When a crime scene is discovered, a 'class trial' is held, in which the remaining students must discuss amongst themselves who the murderer is. There, a sadistic remote-controlled teddy bear by the name of Monokuma announces that the students will be forced to live in the school forever, offering only one way to graduate: murder another student and get away with it. In Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Makoto Naegi, an average student selected to join Hope's Peak Academy, arrives at the school only to lose consciousness and later find himself trapped inside the school, along with fourteen other students. The series revolves around the elite high school, Hope's Peak Academy, which, every year, selects 'Ultimate' students, talented high school students who are in the top of their field, along with one average 'Ultimate Lucky Student,' who is chosen by lottery.
