There’s literally a language option on the main menu letting you switch between English or Japanese voices with English, Japanese, and Chinese text. Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc was already one of the best adventure games in a long time when it released on PS Vita years ago. It is great to see it on iOS now in all its glory with a few extras.

Danganronpa Togami[a] is a Japanese light novel written by Yuya Sato and illustrated by Yun Kōga and Shima Drill. It was published by Seikaisha from November 27, 2015 to February 15, 2017,[1][2] and has been collected in three tankōbon volumes. A prequel to Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc,[b] the first and third volumes of the series focus on Byakuya Togami during the events of 'The Tragedy' after he is stranded in Prague with his biographer Blue Ink by the Ultimate Despair, the pair evading various assassins after the 'Ultimate Imposter' assumes his identity and announces worldwide that lest he (meaning the real Togami) be assassinated within the following 24 hours, the group will 'end the world.' The second volume focuses on a younger Togami and his siblings as they partake in 'The Competition' created by their father for the title of 'Ultimate Affluent Progeny'.
Characters[edit]
Byakuya Togami (十神 白夜, Togami Byakuya) – The main character, the 'Ultimate Affluent Progeny' and heir to the Togami Conglomerate, who is sent on the run after his identity is stolen by the Ultimate Imposter. Togami additionally uses the female persona of Polaris P. Polansky (ポラリス・ポランスキー, P. Poransukī Porarisu) to hide his identity. As a child, Togami participates in 'The Competition' with 15 of his 107 half-siblings for the right to use the Togami name and be the sole heir to the Togami Conglomerate, turned into a killing game by the Imposter, of which he is the victor.
Blue Ink (青インク, Inku Ao) – Togami's older half-sister and biographer, formerly known as Shinobu Togami (十神 忍, Togami Shinobu), whom Togami spared from 'The Competition', replacing her lost left-arm and right-eye with sentient robotic duplicates she names Borges. Viewing her younger brother as a god, Blue Ink's biography of Togami is known as Journey Under the Midnight Sun, while her former title was 'Ultimate Secretary'.
The Ultimate Imposter (超高校級の「詐欺師」, Chō-kōkō-kyū no 'Sagishi') – A member of Ultimate Despair who steals Togami's identity and control over the Togami Conglomerate, sending out a worldwide 'World Domination Proclamation' while placing a 24-hour bounty on Togami's head (as him) in exchange for control of the Togami Conglomerate, after which point, if Togami is not dead, the world will end at his hand. In the third volume, their true identity is confirmed to be that of Kazuya Togami (十神 数や, Tōgami Kazuya), Byakuya's adoptive half-brother and Togami heir.
Hiroyuki Ketouin (ヒロユキケトウィン, Ketouin Hiroyuki) and Yuika Ketouin (ゆいかケトウィン, Ketouin Yuika) – A pair of twin siblings purportedly from the criminal organization known as the Ketouin Conglomerate, who offer to provide Togami and Blue Ink safe passage out of the Czech Republic in their black Mercedes-Benz in exchange for the secret to the prosperity of the Togami family name.
