''Absolute Despair Girls: Danganronpa Another Episode'' is a [[GaidenGame side story]] in the [[Franchise/DanganRonpa Dangan Ronpa franchise,]] released in September 2014 on the Playstation Vita. Taking place between games one and two, it stars Komaru Naegi (sister of first game’s protagonist Makoto) and Touko Fukawa, as they try to escape a city overrun by Monokuma robots. Unlike the main series games (which were visual novels), this is a ThirdPersonShooter; Komaru wields a “hacking megaphone gun” that she can use to attack enemies, take control of them, and manipulate the environment. As of yet, there is no word on if or when the game will be released outside of Japan.
