it's an absolute shocker to me that I am the first person to write a review for Danganronpa Kirigiri, and that is because Danganronpa is massively popular, and this should be essential reading for any fan.

DRKG is a competently told series of mysteries focusing on the real star of the show from the first installment in the franchise. If you liked Danganronpa for the murder mysteries, you'll very much enjoy the murder mysteries present here, and if you liked Danganronpa for the characters, you're in luck as well. It does an excellent job expanding on Kyoko's character, explaining more about her family and why she ... is the way she is. Her relationship to the new POV character, a one Yui Samidare, is both very sweet and exceptionally insightful into her character.

This series also answers the big question of "what happened to her hands" that is never revealed in the main series, and for that alone I would say you should read it.

Seven volumes is a lot, and I do think it could have been shorter, but it is absolutely worth it if you love Danganronpa.

I just finished reading this- and it is such a beautiful story. Yui and Kyouko have such a cute relationship as friends and sibling-figures, and the mystery behind it all was captivating. While it was difficult for me to understand some of the methods used for the victims, it just showed to me that they were heavily thought out.

Yui's fate at the end and Kyouko's shift to block out any emotional connection so that she wouldn't be hurt again definitely affected me-I can see how she became our favorite stoic character now- but its heartbreaking to see that it did.

The story is amazing, the characters ... are great, and its easy to get attached to certain characters and hope for them to be okay, only to watch as something happens to them. The mystery is also great. Since I wasn't heavily spoiled beforehand on how it turned out, it made certain aspects a lot more surprising for me.

Overall, definitely read it- you'll regret it if you don't.
