About this title

Synopsis

Hope's Peak Academy is a top school at which many "ultimates" are enrolled, such as the Ultimate Pop Sensation and Ultimate Martial Artist. When an average boy named Makoto Naegi is selected by lottery to attend this prestigious institution, he becomes the "Ultimate Lucky Student." Unfortunately, Naegi's first day is nothing like he expected. He and his classmates fall unconscious and wake to find themselves trapped in Hope's Peak. To make matters worse, they are informed by their principal—a sadistic black and white bear named Monokuma—that in order to leave, one of the students will have to murder a fellow classmate and get away with it. If the killer is caught, they themselves will be executed, and this "School Life of Mutual Murder" will continue until only a single person remains. With no other choice left, the 78th class of Hope's Peak Academy must play Monokuma's twisted game, all while inching closer to the truth behind their predicament. To survive, it will take all their wits, a bit of luck, and most importantly, hope. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

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.
