iiiiiiii dunno. there are a lot of caveats to my enjoyment of THH and this just kinda heaps more on without being THH in the first place. fewer enjoyable or personally memorable characters (for me), although the ones i did like i enjoyed a lot. the last act is impressive and feels like less of an ass pull than THH's final act but it feels much less... complete? contained? then again there is a whole semi-attached anime i haven't watched lol! idk. i wasn't meant to have this many thoughts about danganronpa in the first place.
