(W/A/CA) Takashi Tsukimi 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!

(W/A/CA) Takashi Tsukimi With only six students remaining alive out of the original fifteen, the final trial will also reveal the mastermind behind their imprisonment in Hope's Peak Academy . . . and the true purpose behind the deadly game they've been forced to play! The survivors might count themselves lucky to have been right . . . but are they sure they've counted themselves right . . . ?
