marita 's review for:
Danganronpa: The Animation Volume 1
by Takashi Tsukimi, Jackie McClure
I'm actually very familiar with the franchise, I was really into the games a couple of years ago. I still think very fondly of them. There is a big cast of character but they each have a distinct personality and quirks.
I love the concept of a high school that enrolls the most talented student from a certain field. Then the whole twist with a killing game and its rules. It's quite serious and dark at times, but it remains satirical.
All the murder cases are very interesting. My favourite part is gathering clues and then analyzing everything in the class trial.
I get that this is a different format, but it's still way to fast paced for me. In the games, there are free time events in which you get to know the characters you choose so you develop this connection. You find out more about them so it's more heartbreaking when one of them eventually dies or is revealed as the blackened.
This is still one of my favourite franchises, the plot twists are so good (especially later on in the game – the mastermind for example is such an interesting character imo) and the contrast between hope and despair is very well done.
I would recommend to anyone interested that they play (or watch a playthrough as I did because I'm not a gamer whatsoever) the game. There are so many details that were left out or glanced over in the manga and the characters feel a lot more likeable.
