Before The Tragedy struck the world, life at Hope's Peak Academy was relatively normal. Students Chouko Oyashi, Xindel Fujimoto, Ayameko Etsuko, Zuka Fubayashi, Jon Shushiro, Elec Daegana, Chiyosu Sunadu, and Akane Misaki get up to all sorts of crazy antics as they live out their regular, everyday school lives. Falling in love, vandalizing the school, going to dances, and even dates of overwhelming romance becomes the normal for them all. Joined by Yazu Takashi, Ai Matsuki, Ryo Matsuki, Sabastian Michaelis, and and Alexis Mauvais, school life isn't normal for this group of eight.
Because these are the days before despair, meaning anything can happen.
Hope's Peak Academy is the school for Ultimates, students who are the best at what they do.
That was before Hope's Peak was attacked by despair, and forced 16 students to stay in the school, the only way to leave is to kill each other.
What will become of these 16 students in this twisted game of despair?
