Danganronpa returns with a graphic novel series starring fan-favorite character Chiaki Nanami, CHIAKI NANAMI'S GOODBYE DESPAIR QUEST.
The press release follows:
Media Release -- The ill-fated school of murder, mystery and procedural psychological drama returns to Dark Horse Manga. Writer and artist Karin Suzuragi(Higurashi When They Cry, Isekai Cheat Magician, Ao Oni) takes up the sometimes violent, always exciting story of Hope's Peak High's most dangerous game. Based on Spike Chunsoft's blockbuster Danganronpa game series and anime, Danganronpa 2: Chiaki Nanami's Goodbye Despair Quest is ready to win a spot in your library... by any means necessary!
Chiaki Nanami is the Ultimate Gamer, selected as one of Japan's most expert teens to attend the elite Hope's Peak High School. What could be nicer than for the semester to kick off with a class trip to the tropical resort of Jabberwock Island? And what could be more horrific to then be told by the principal that now they're all trapped there…and the only way they can ever leave is to play a murder game!
The rules are simple: to escape, you must not only kill a fellow student, but get away with it, as the survivors will then cross-examine each other in a class courtroom. If they vote the wrong person guilty, the killer goes free…and the rest of them die! With no margin for error and the stakes so high, the Ultimate Gamer will need to use all her playing skill to suss out the secrets of Jabberwock Island and find the "true ending" for Nanami and her friends…survival and escape!
