MAJOR SPOILERS FOR DANGANRONPA V3 KILLING HARMONY! This is a Saimatsu fic (Danganronpa's Shuichi Saihara x Kaede Akamatsu) where Kaede is not found as the blackened in the first class trial. The two have to survive the killing game together while keeping as many people alive as possible. There will be other ships in this story, but the prime one will be Saimatsu (my OTP). The story will loosely follow the DRV3 story with a few differences here and there including (but not limited to) blackened, victims, rooms in the Ultimate Acadamy, and executions. This story is a work of fiction written by a fan of the original work, and is not part of the official storyline of the franchise that inspired it. Danganronpa and all its characters and concepts belong to Spike Chunsoft. Super Smash Brothers is a property of Nintendo Co., Ltd., HAL Laboratory, Inc., and Sora Ltd. Persona and all of its characters and concepts are property of Atlus Co., Ltd., SEGA Corporation, and P-Studio Cover Art by♤HilodE♤ (https://hilode.tumblr.com/) Please support them because their art is spectacular.

This fanfic begins in the early days of being trapped in the killing game, it's an unlikely place but romance can somehow manage to form anywhere no matter how complex it is. Kaede and Shuichi are able to figure out their emotions and deal with events in the process. Note: Only the storyline belongs to me, the cover and overall characters/game belong to separate creators <3

I can't help myself this is a huge otp for me!
