They have similar theme, forced to play a game with the stake of their life for the sake of their precious person/things. Altough, its a gender bender, they have similar plot like bring darkness in every person heart to kill other person.

These two manga have some similarities -The two main mascots(alien Octopus in Ansatsu,mono Bear in Danganronpa) have similar traits,and habit -The two mascots have some objective that is to destroy something. -In Ansatsu Kyoushitsu the mascot is teaching the students to be better,but in Danganronpa the mascot teach them what is despair. if you like more serious,dark manga then danganronpa for you,but if you like comedy then Ansatsu for you.
