Synopsis

Hope's Peak Academy is a top school at which many "ultimates" are enrolled, such as the Ultimate Pop Sensation and Ultimate Martial Artist. When an average boy named Makoto Naegi is selected by lottery to attend this prestigious institution, he becomes the "Ultimate Lucky Student."

Unfortunately, Naegi's first day is nothing like he expected. He and his classmates fall unconscious and wake to find themselves trapped in Hope's Peak. To make matters worse, they are informed by their principal—a sadistic black and white bear named Monokuma—that in order to leave, one of the students will have to murder a fellow classmate and get away with it. If the killer is caught, they themselves will be executed, and this "School Life of Mutual Murder" will continue until only a single person remains. With no other choice left, the 78th class of Hope's Peak Academy must play Monokuma's twisted game, all while inching closer to the truth behind their predicament. To survive, it will take all their wits, a bit of luck, and most importantly, hope.

Danganronpa games, overall, are pretty good. I've played all the games of the saga, watched all the animes of it and readed some light novels and manga, so, I can consider me a proper Danganronpa fan. How I said, I've read some manga of Danganronpa, one of them to be exactly, and is this manga.
I didn't read this manga online, how I do now, but I bought the entire volumes after playing the games, expecting a good adaptation. For me, Trigger Happy Havoc isn't the best Danganronpa game, but It was a solid start, and, seeing that it had an anime and manga adaptation, I read more

I've currently only seen the gameplays for both Danganronpa 1 & 2, so I decided before I move onto DR3, I'd give the manga adaption a try. I was a little hesitant at first, since there were only four volumes that didn't make it look too promising, but ey, at least I got better than what I had expected. I normally don't write reviews - this is even my first one lmao - so I apologize in advance if I've missed some important mentions. But I feel like the manga adaption gets a little too much hate than it deserves. I mean, I've seen WAY read more

Preliminary

If you haven't yet come across the Danganronpa series and would like to get into it, stay away from this manga at all costs.

The Danganronpa games are very long and and detailed in the characterisations of characters and the mystery's themselves. Trigger Happy Havoc itself takes around 20 hours to complete. It also received a rather rushed version of the story which only had 12 episodes. This manga adapts the anime in only 4 volumes so you'd expect this to be even more rushed, and that's exactly what we got.

The characters receive very little development when compared to the games and even the anime. read more
