Released in late 2015, Danganronpa Togami is a three-part Light Novel set in the Danganronpa universe, written by Yuya Satou.Living as the heir to the Togami Conglomerate, Byakuya Togami is suddenly attacked while on a trip to Prague with his biographer, a fellow student at Hope's Peak Academy referred to as "Blue Ink". Having his identity (and clothes) stolen from him, Byakuya listens as the imposter announces on live broadcast that, should the world not kill him in 24 hours, he will Take Over the World. As the world descends into chaos with the propagation of the mysterious "Despair Book", it's up to Byakuya and Blue Ink to escape assassins and uncover the truth.

comment
Anyone Can Die: As is the norm for the franchise. Over the course of the first volume, the Mystery Club, the Director and (possibly) Hiroyuki all bite it, and Satomi nearly dies too. By the end of Volume 3, Hiroyuki and Yuika are dead for real, as is Suzuhiko.

Rape as Drama: While not stated, it is heavily implied in Volume 2 that Kazuya rapes Shinobu after she's been mutilated. It's also heavily implied that Shinobu was routinely molested by her older brother Suzuhiko for the first twelve years of her life.

Unreliable Narrator
 Danganronpa Togami / int_1869b4b1
comment
Unreliable Narrator: In spades. Blue Ink is not exactly an unbiased observer when it comes to Byakuya. In addition, it’s revealed in Volume 3 that her entire worldview is deluded because of the K2K system, a story-writing AI that controls Borges. The Mole isn't entirely reliable, either, as we learn when it's revealed that his entire character is a facade hiding his true identity from the audience. In Volume 2, Kazuya turns out to be the culprit behind several of the murders. In Volume 3, ”Kazuya”/Orvin is revealed to be a cyborg whose prosthetic eyes have the K2K System installed, making him just as delusional as Blue Ink. At the end of Volume 3, it’s revealed that all three volumes of the novel were written by the K2K System, meaning everything that happened outside of Vol 3’s epilogue is potentially false.

The Bad Guy Wins: In a sense. "Kazuya", or Orvin Elevator, is defeated, and the Impostor fails to gain mental superiority over Byakuya because he still maintains full conviction despite how terrible the choices given to him are. However, Ultimate Despair succeeds in manipulating Byakuya, removing the Kudan/Blue Ink from play, and handicapping Byakuya's talent.

Foregone Conclusion
 Danganronpa Togami / int_3bc88a7f
comment
Foregone Conclusion: Anyone with knowledge on the franchise knows that, inevitably, Byakuya will end up with his classmates in Hope's Peak Academy, survive the School Life of Mutual Killing and join the Future Foundation. How he gets there and what else happens is another question entirely. When the other Togami siblings are introduced in Volume 2, anyone who remembers Junko telling Byakuya that he’s the last Togami alive knows they won’t survive the inevitable Tragedy. Although them slaughtering each other probably wasn’t anyone’s guess for how things would go down.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall
 Danganronpa Togami / int_4a3e547f
comment
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Constantly, much of it from Hiroyuki. Of particular note is Hiroyuki's diatribe about censorship, in which he claims that his cigarettes would just be changed into lollipops in an anime adaptation, followed by him ranting about how CERO and other censors can't touch him right now and suggesting dirty things for Blue Ink to look up with Borges. Near the end of Vol 1, it's revealed that Suzuhiko Ootsuki is so skilled at deception that they can completely fool the reader, and that everything we'd seen concerning the Mole's identity was a complete lie.

"Everybody Dies" Ending: What the Worst Incident in the History of the Togami Family entails. Kazuya, driven insane from the pressure, murders Wasuke right as the competition is about to begin. Right afterwards, Asagao commits suicide in a bid to make her siblings get along. Both deaths, combined with Hiru and Takaya’s machinations, end up turning the competition into a slaughter that ends in everyone besides Shinobu, Suzuhiko, Byakuya and Pennyworth dead and the castle the competition was taking place in on fire.

The Reveal: At the end of Volume 1, it’s revealed that Blue Ink is actually Byakuya’s older half-sister, Shinobu. Volume 3 contains an entire truckload’s worth of these: The Ketouin twins and the Hasegawa Institute aren't what they appear to be. As in, Blue Ink's Borges is giving her misinformation that distorts her worldview. Who the Ketouins really are, though, goes unrevealed. Blue Ink isn't Shinobu, she's the Kudan. Orvin Elevator isn't Kazuya, either, and Suzuhiko is actually Minoru Oe. All three volumes of the novel, apart from the final coda, have been written by an In-Universe Unreliable Narrator and cannot be verified.

Placebotinum Effect: Near the end of the final volume, it's casually revealed that the Despair Book doesn't actually possess the power to drive anyone who reads it mad, openly mocking the idea that anyone could believe that to be the case.

Continuity Nod: Tons, to the point of being basically Continuity Porn: The Detective Library is explicitly mentioned by the The Mole in reference to Genocider evading them. The Mystery Club's introduction explicitly names Hope's Peak Elementary in reference to affiliates of the Academy. When talking about Aoba, the Mystery Club Vice-Prez mentions Ayaka Hayama, even noting her to be the least popular member of the group as her profile implied. Junko references Matsuda while talking with Togami and Blue Ink. Sakura's boyfriend Kenichiro is also given an explicit mention during her fight with Taeko.

Naked People Are Funny: Whoever stole Byakuya's identity at the start of the first novel also stole all his clothes, leaving him with just a pair of glasses. Blue Ink quickly gets him a towel to cover himself with, but he shows no particular inclination to find more clothes, and tells her that she's stepping out of line when she asks those helping them if they can spare any pants. During the competition, Saburou offers up a bizarre alibi as to his whereabouts when a crime was being committed: he was busy dancing around his room in the buff.

Sadistic Choice: Near the end of Volume 3, the Impostor reveals that Byakuya has been playing into Ultimate Despair's hands the whole time and gives him two options: one, take over the world just as Orvin Elevator had wanted, but they will murder Blue Ink. Two, end the World Domination Proclamation and return to Japan. Blue Ink will be spared, but everyone will be made to forget her and her personality will be rewritten into someone else. Byakuya chooses the latter, refusing to accept an outcome given to him by someone else and believing (correctly) that he will still be able to take down the mastermind even if his talent is handicapped.

Tomato Surprise: Shinobu Togami's perception of the world is heavily distorted thanks to the nature of the K2K System, making her unable to distinguish fiction from reality. All the other characters are aware of this, and Byakuya and Gundham attempt to hint at it to her (albeit with vastly different approaches), but she remains oblivious to thanks to Borges' censoring of information that would otherwise clash with her worldview.

Written by the Winners: The Togami Conglomerate frequently engages in this, such as covering up what caused the Kuchinashi Village Fire. Volume 2 reveals this to be why Byakuya wants Blue Ink to write his biography: so he can cover up the true circumstances behind his inheritance. Namely, the fact that he wasn't meant to participate at all, and exploited the Incident by letting his half-siblings slaughter each other so he could win.

Expy: Several characters bear strong similarities to others who appear in later installments of the series: The Mole is effectively a Spear Counterpart to Fukawa, complete with murderous alter ego. The Mystery Club is a homicidal group of children associated with Hope’s Peak, just like the Warriors of Hope. Most of the Togami siblings introduced in Volume 2 have loose counterparts in Byakuya's future classmates. Ichirou is straight-laced and tries to keep order like Ishimaru, Jirou favors brawn over brains like Owada, Saburou is a creepier Yamada, and so on.

Crossover: With the Kagami Family Series of novels, which Satou also penned. Several of the characters and concepts, such as the Hasegawa Institute and the Kudan, are drawn directly from that series.
