Based on one of the multiple video games in the Danganronpa
franchise, Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls is the
missing story that goes between the original Danganronpa: The
Animation manga, and the recently published manga series Danganronpa
2: Ultimate Luck and Hope and Despair.
Whatever happened to Komaru Naegi, the younger sister of Danganronpa:
The Animation's protagonist, Makoto? Like all the family members of the
Ultimate Students, she was held under threat to force them to play
Monokuma's murder game. But now Komaru's busted out of the apartment
complex where she's been prisoner for the last year--out of the frying
pan and into the fire of the post-apocalyptic cityscape where cuddly
Monokuma robots are only too happy to take out any stray survivors!
Komaru finds herself thrown amongst the factions fighting to shape the
new world: the Future Foundation, crewed by the original story's Byakuya
Togami, and the Warriors of Hope, elementary school kids whose solution
is to eliminate all the grownups! Komaru's best chance for survival is
the most unlikely one of all--pair up with the original story's gloomy
romance author Toko Fukawa...whose alternate personality is the crazed
serial killer, Genocide Jack (Jill)!
