The life-or-death courtroom game continues at Hope's Peak Academy as Makoto and Kyoko work together to try to prove Yasuhiro's innocence and convict Celestia in the latest round of class trials! And Makoto has learned in his investigations that one of his fellow students is being forced by Monokuma to spy upon them--should he reveal this secret to the others, or wait for the spy to make what could be a very drastic move...?

Each year, the elite Hope's Peak Academy selects only the most gifted and talented students to enroll...plus one ordinary student, chosen by lottery. Makoto Naegi was that lucky person--or so he thought! When he shows up for class, he finds the elite students are a bizarre cast of oddballs under the ruthless authority of a robot teddy bear principal, Monokuma. The bear lays down the school rules: the only way out of Hope's Peak is to not only murder another student...but get away with it, as every murder is followed by a tribunal where the surviving students cross-examine each other! Inspired by the Danganronpa videogame series and based on the anime of the same name, the Danganropa manga is a quirky, fun, weird, and dynamic take on the high school Battle Royale genre.

Having lived through the first round of judgment in the trap that is Hope's Peak Academy, bonds are beginning to form among the surviving students. But the evil paws of Monokuma, the villainous bear that holds them captive, are stretched around them...one black, one white, signifying that at this school there's only room for two kinds of students--those found innocent--and those found guilty!

The conclusion! Komaru decides to remain in Towa City with Toko, determined to put an end to the reign of terror inflicted by the children of the Warriors of Hope. But to bring about a resolution, not only must she defeat the remaining Warriors, but also the last-ditch weapon of the adults...the massive Big Bang Monokuma! Does a horribly ordinary high school girl have what it takes to stop this mutually assured destruction between two generations...and shape the destiny of Towa City and the Future Foundation? Based on one of the multiple video games in the Danganronpa franchise, Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls is the missing story that goes between the original Danganronpa: The Animation manga, and the recently published manga series Danganronpa 2: Ultimate Luck and Hope and Despair.

Despair is contagious...and so, it seems, is death! Fed up with the lack of bloodthirst from his captives, Monokuma has infected them with the Despair Disease, which manifests as cowardice in the mighty Owari...gullibility in the worldly Mioda...and dishonesty in the, er...in Komaeda. Afraid that they could commit murder while not in their right mind, the sick students are quarantined, keeping in touch with the "healthy" students by video monitor...only to find that despite all their precautions, the killing hasn't stopped! Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair is an alternate version of the events told in the manga Danganronpa 2: Ultimate Luck and Hope and Despair. That series told the story through the eyes of "Ultimate Lucky Student" Nagito Komaeda; now Goodbye Despair gives you the perspective of his arch-rival in the desperate classroom murder game, Hajime Hinata!

The ultimate teenage murder game continues! Based on Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, the sequel to the original Danganronpa, the manga series Ultimate Luck and Hope and Despair contains many scenes only hinted at in the game! The conclusion! Caught in the execution procedure by mistake, Fuyuhiko desperately requires emergency aid. Due to the school rules, Monokuma has no choice but to save Fuyuhiko's life. But never one to let an evil opportunity slip by, Monokuma uses the medical theme for his next murder motive: the Despair Disease! Everyone is terrified of catching the contagion after Nagito, Ibuki, and Akane become infected. The three are forced into quarantine, and Monokuma claims a corpse is required to produce a cure! But they can't kill someone to save themselves, can they...?

Komaru and Toko delve into the subway tunnels, finding an underground arena where Masaru, leader of the killer kids who call themselves the Warriors of Hope, stands triumphant above a pile of dead grown-ups...yet the boy doesn't stand a chance against Genocide Jill and Komaru's teamwork! Now having defeated a foe, the question arises as to who's actually their friend...Shirokuma, a bleached, bandaged version of their teddy bear tormenter, claims to be able to put them in touch with the adult resistance--but is following it down even deeper really such a good idea? Based on one of the multiple video games in the Danganronpa franchise, Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls is the missing story that goes between the original Danganronpa: The Animation manga, and the recently published manga series Danganronpa 2: Ultimate Luck and Hope and Despair.
