Book Description
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)!

Book Description
Each year, the elite Hope's Peak Academy selects only the most gifted and talented students to enroll...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 where the surviving students cross-examine each other! Inspired by the Danganronpa videogame series and based on the anime of the same name, the Danganropa manga is a quirky, fun, weird, and dynamic take on the high school Battle Royale genre.

In an alternative future Japan, junior high students are forced to fight to the death! L to R (Western Style).

Criticized as violent exploitation when first published in Japan--where it then proceeded to become a runaway bestseller--Battle Royale is a Lord of the Fliesfor the 21st century, a potent allegory of what it means to be young and (barely) alive in a dog-eat-dog world. Made into a controversial hit movie of the same name, Battle Royale is already a contemporary Japanese pulp classic, now available for the first time in the English language. A group of high school students are taken to small isolated island and forced to fight each other until only one remains alive! If they break the rules a special collar blows their heads off. Koushun Takami's brutal, high-octane thriller is told in breathless. blow-by-blow fashion. Battle Royale is a contemporary Japanese pulp classic now available for the first time in English.
