Premise

[edit]

The story revolves around children (specifically the 12-year-old main character Abaku Inugami) solving adult crimes in court at their elementary school, ranging from murder to drug usage in terms of criminal acts. Abaku has a skill called Ronpa, which is the act of using arguments to refute another's theories and verbally defeat them. He is a transfer student at Tenbin Elementary School which has recently declared the Classroom Arbitration Session system, and is used the way that if any disputes happen, they will be settled in a courtroom.[2] There is also a rival for Inugami called Pine Hanzuki, who tries to prosecute the guilty people in her own cute but also ruthless way.
