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!

Each year, the elite Hope's Peak Academy selects only the most gifted and talented students to enrol - 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 featuring the surviving students!
