■ About

Danganronpa 10-Year Anniversary Release: Part 1!

In celebration of its 10-year anniversary, Danganronpa is now available on smartphones! Please enjoy this Danganronpa reborn with improved gameplay systems and a new gallery feature.

■ Story

The story takes place at a privileged government-sponsored academy known as Hope’s Peak, where highschoolers of the highest caliber in various fields receive an elite education.

The exceedingly ordinary protagonist, Makoto Naegi, is accepted into this academy which holds the “hope” of the nation’s future..

He was chosen by lottery from all the other ordinary students to attend the academy as the “Ultimate Lucky Student”…

On the day of the entrance ceremony, Makoto loses consciousness in front of the entrance hall and comes to in what appears to be the interior of the academy, which has been completely closed off from the outside world. He suddenly loses consciousness and comes to in what appears to be the interior of the academy.

The dreary mood is far from the impression given by the name “Hope’s Peak Academy.” The dingy corridors, iron-barred windows, and prison-like atmosphere… Something is wrong.

In the entrance hall, a stuffed bear that claims to be the headmaster tells the students they will live in the confines of the school until the day they die, and they must kill someone if they want to leave.

Including Makoto, there are 15 Ultimate Students from all over the world trapped in this academy of despair.

One thing after another crushes their hope. Incidents which shake their trust, the sadistic headmaster, and the mystery of the mastermind. Who is behind it all, and what do they want?

The battle with an unseen enemy begins…
