IN OTHER WORDS, danganronpa: thh

In which the Ultimate Linguist finds herself trapped in the Killing Game, and has to reckon with the idea that others might not be as predictable as she once thought.

OR: If Akira Sakamoto understands anything, it's human communication. She knows how people's voices change when they're afraid, how they'll use certain tactics to drive conversations in a specific direction, and how their word choices can mean the difference between guilt and innocence, no matter how trivial they might seem. When Hope's Peak Academy doesn't turn out to be quite what she expected when she was invited to attend as their Ultimate Linguist, she should be perfectly equipped to survive and work with her classmates to uncover the truths of the mysteries surrounding their situation.

Unfortunately, life in the killing game would never be that simple, and Akira finds herself faced with a group of people who rarely fit the patterns that she's become so familiar with. As she investigates murders committed by teenagers, participates in court cases mediated by a psychotic teddy bear, and interacts with her classmates (some of whom seem determined to remain unreadable), Akira is forced to reevaluate her worldview in order to survive and fight the mastermind.
