Anguish & Desire

Danganronpa: Anguish & Desire is a non-apocalyptic story set in the Danganronpa universe. It is written by James.

Plot
Set in Hope's Peak Academy, a prestigious high school in which you have to be on the top of your field of expertise, whilst also being a high school student. You must be recruited to the school by the teaching staff themselves, and after you graduate, you're guaranteed to be successful in life.

That was also the aspiration of our protagonist, Ken Kijmuta, the Ultimate Survival Games Player. Albeit being skeptical of attending such a prestigious school, he caved into the promise of success and hope. So, after saying goodbye to his single mom and his ill sister, Ken, packed his bags and went to Hope's Peak, only to suddenly blackout.

When he comes to, he's met with two problems: One, he's told he and his fellow Ultimates have been kidnapped and trapped inside the academt, and the only way to escape is to kill one of his fellow students and get away with it, and two...large chunks of his memory seemed to have disappeared, among them, his name.

Can Ken escape with his classmates; or, will he and his fellow Ultimates cave into despair and begin to off each other?

Only time will tell.
