Danganronpa 2: Chiaki Nanami’s Goodbye Despair Quest stars Chiaki Nanami, the brilliant Ultimate Gamer, who finds herself at Hope’s Peak High School after being chosen among Japan’s most skilled teenagers. The excitement of a class trip to the tropical paradise of Jabberwock Island soon turns to horror when the students learn they are trapped there in a deadly game.

To escape, they must commit murder and avoid detection while their peers engage in life-and-death trials to uncover the truth. With high stakes and no room for error, Chiaki must employ all her gaming prowess to navigate the island’s secrets and lead her friends to the “true ending” of survival and freedom.

In this twisted reality of deceit and peril, Chiaki Nanami’s strategic mind and determination will be put to the ultimate test. As the group faces the grim consequences of wrong decisions, Chiaki’s gaming skills become their lifeline, allowing her to decipher the truth and unmask the real culprits. Together, they must bond and collaborate to find a way off the island, where only the cleverest can secure their escape and ensure their survival.

The manga initially ran from 2012 through 2014 in Mag Garden’s Comic Blade magazine.
