Huge upgrade from Trigger Happy Havoc, not only the characters are more interesting, we're all on a whole island instead of just a school building.

Here we see a new mascot, usami, a rabbit with some magical girl powers, you'd think that will replace Monokuma. SIKE The goat is back and even fights her and remodels her into Monomi.

You can see the jump in quality from the first chapter with its case, it was well-executed. and it only gets better, then you see cases 4 and 5 where in my opinion, Danganronpa peaked in those 2 cases.
