About this title

Synopsis

15 elite high school students are gathered for the 78th class at Hopes' Peak Academy. Graduating from this high school essentially means you'll succeed in life, but graduating is very difficult. The school's head master is, a bear called Monokuma? He explains that the only way to graduate is to kill one of your classmates and get away with it. If the other classmates discover the identity of the killer, only they will be "punished". However, if they fail to catch the killer, only the killer graduates and the others are "punished". Which of the 15 will survive the lessons to come? This adaption of the manga shows the other students point of view. (Source: MU)

Height: 167 cm Weight: 48 kg Chest: 82 cm Specialty: Super High School Level ??? An enigmatic, silver-haired girl whose high school talent is unknown. Though aloof and slow to trust others, she's adept at noticing things which the other students don't, which proves vital once bodies start turning up. She often advises Naegi on conducting investigations. Apparently, she's trying to retrieve something that Monokuma stole from her in the past. (Source: Wikipedia)

Monokuma is the main antagonist of the series. A strange, remote-controlled teddy bear who proclaims himself to be the principal of Hope's Peak Academy and initiates a life of mutual killing amongst the students. He has various copies of himself throughout the Academy and will punish, ie. kill, anyone that attempts to attack him or otherwise break the academy's rules. Much like his name, he has a monochrome appearance, with one half looking like a cute white bear and the other half looking like a sadistic black bear. Just who the mastermind controlling him is, along with his motives for bringing the students together, serve as some of the game's main mysteries. (Source: Wikipedia)

Naegi is friendly and a lot more down-to-earth than other students. He tends to act passively in conversation. Junko also refers to him as a "herbivore man," which she means that Naegi is likely to be the passive one in a relationship. According to him, his most distinguishing feature is his optimism.
