it's hard to turn these pages without imagining slipping and sliding on all that blood - but there's a love story, as twisted as it may be, at the heart of this gaiden.
2016 was a plentiful year for DR related content: the upcoming anticipation of the "Danganronpa 3" anime as well as the "New Danganronpa V3" game had fans looking forward to the release dates. This spinoff manga was one of many first releases, with a bit of teasers in terms of the DR storyline and it wasn't until volume 1's chapter 3 that revealed the full title.
The manga's story is simple, with the MC, Asano Misaki joining the Future Foundation branch dedicated for unusual crimes. She is then assigned a partner in which she immediately judges for being a slacker and of questionable appearance. Everything after that is essentially the duo attempting to solve the crimes and the killer being found out along with an over-the-top finish. There isn't much to the story and the simple premise is presented, but as the story progresses things start to fall apart. DR as a whole is unrealistic but this takes it all. The MC's partner, Hijirihara Takumi, displays an unrealistic amount of plot armor, shit in general and his abilities/fighting with his weapon usually involve some sort of bullshittery- main examples being able to dash and move at abnormal speeds, slice things clean off, survive an abnormal amount of damage, one-shot his enemies, and slice off his partner's neck with it reattaching and her surviving. Holy fuck. The other characters and enemies aren't better either, with their motives and general reactions usually presented to be illogical, over the top or crap just for the sake of the story. The organizations and systems such as Future Foundation are never elaborated further on what they do and their functions- In which I'd assume based on the timeline the manga showed signs of being obviously rushed and hacked.
Overall if you don't mind the blazing bullshittery, the occasional IQ drop and are willing to laugh at the hilariously over the top crap, this is an alright read if you just want to turn your brain off.
