Danganronpa: The Animation

ダンガンロンパ 希望の学園と絶望の高校生 The Animation

Synopsis

ダンガンロンパ 希望の学園と絶望の高校生 The Animation

Being just a normal student without a special talent, Makoto Naegi wins a lottery to attend the prestigious Hope's Peak Academy where only the top prodigies attend. However, instead of this being the beginning of a wonderful high school life, it's a ticket to despair, because the only way to graduate from Hope's Peak Academy is to kill one of your fellow students or be one of their victims.
