Series Synopsis
Makoto Naegi (voiced by Megumi Ogata) heads off to start his first day at the prestigious Hope’s Peak Academy. The school has built a reputation for shaping and producing the next leaders in a wide variety of fields. Naegi is doubtful if he belongs at such a top tier institution. Despite his reservations, he decides to give it his all. Upon entering the school, Naegi's entire world turns dark.
He awakens in an unknown location, along with fourteen other students.
No one knows how or why they're at this place. After a quick look around, they come to the conclusion that they are trapped. Meeting back up, they're all shocked when a strange teddy bear takes the stage. The creature introduces itself as Monokuma (voiced by Nobuyo Oyama), the Principle of Hope’s Peak Academy.
Monokuma explains that the students are part of a new type of academy. An academy where they will remain for the rest of their lives. This, of course, is not taken well by the students and they refuse to accept such an arrangement.
Monokuma, with a smile, reveals that there is a way to get out of the school. A person must successful murder one of their classmates without getting caught.
