Praise for Danganronpa 2: Ultimate Luck and Hope and Despair Volume 1

"What began as an under-the-radar visual novel series has blossomed into a multimedia extravaganza encompassing games, anime, manga, and more."-Anime News Network

"A madcap series of murder mysteries constructed with the same pastel-spattered palette of goofy anime caricatures that belie its dark tone."-Anime News Network

"Danganronpa is essentially a bizarre battle royal between a very eclectic collection of students, mixing macabre murder mystery with investigations and trials full of wild suspicions, cross-examination, and plenty of fun twists."-Otaku USA

"Most visual novels usually don't have strong gameplay. Well, this is not the case with Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. As much as I love the first game, the sequel is a huge improvement."-IGN

"In an unsurprising twist, I'm having slight anxiety playing Danganronpa 2...what it does is build up suspense and anticipation...a trait horror games and movies share. And I just can't handle how great it excels at doing so."-Kotaku
