Damn so is ryoko her own person or is she junko in disguise to stay out of the limelight

well since Ryoko here, things will go interesting

Riding Horses/ponies can be used as therapy for children, especially for ones who cannot walk, it simulates the feeling of walking for them! (I spent over half my study hall in school visualizing this scenario with Monaca)

Anyways I will just say a few things you can use for reference. For ships I would consider Naegi to be straight due to his certain moments around the girls in the story. While he did not have any of those moments with the guys. Anyways I don't think any of the 77-B class would date Makoto mostly due to them being a year older than him but I think they might be friends with him. Also Touko x Makoto is simply not possible unless you change Makoto to be a more dominant male, like Togami. Fujisaki x Makoto I would find very unlikely due to his personality though with the route you are going it could happen but I would more likely see him date Mondo. Though the other ships can work but family x Makoto is a no go. Moving on to the storyline there are many interesting way this could go down and I would like to talk about a few of them. I only see a few ways to prevent the tragedy from happening. The only way to stop it is if Makoto becomes close to Junko and shows her hope or Junko dies. Those are the only 2 possible outcomes I see that would stop the tragedy from happening. Though good job on the story so far, I'm hooked to it.

Oh so we are gonna have a different story interesting also glad to see chihiro getting some friends so he does not feel so isolated in hopes peak

This is so cute omg I'm happy I'm not lactose intolerant because this is some high quality fluffy cheese

Next chapter is Makoto Naegi's bad day?

quick question, are you gonna have chihiro stay a boy or do a little genderbending? also I agree with vongola ninja, on the harem choices anyway. I think also ruruka, as kinda like a redemption for her or something like that. while yes she is kinda bitchy, that doesn't have to be the case here, take the chapter in a luckster and his luck, Sweet Love. you could take some inspiration from that chapter and add some other ideas as well. also keep up the good work!

after the crane incident, Sayaka would always find an opportunity to talk to Makoto, right? Then, how about she saw him with Kirumi and Monaca one time by accident, and then weird ideas will grow on Idol's head, making her extremely jealous...I would like to see that scene hahaha

I love the way you added Kirumi and also the background you gave for Monaca's disability (well, then again, I never played Ultimate Despair Girls, so maybe it was already in the game). There are really minor grammar mistakes here and there (minor as in I barely noticed them as I was reading and don't remember them right now) but, like always, your ideas are rather nice :-)

Answers to your questions: I prefer Non-Despair because I like my hopeful endings, but you're the writer and this is a Danganronpa fanfic soz... this story can go either way really. Pairing? What kinds of pairings do you mean? Oh well. Naegiri all the way! And if you include some DR2 characters, Hinami would be nice, and I would also appreciate Komaeda getting along with people for once. Oh! Pekoyama and Fuyuhiko are goals. I'm too sleep-deprived to continue this review. I'm sure other people have a bunch of feedback for you already anyway zzz

I agree that Makoto x Everyone is tough to tackle as I myself am writing a story about that as well, however I would say three to five people would be a good idea, and I think doing at least one character from each cast would be awesome. If it was me I would make it Makoto x Tenko x Mikan x Sayaka with room to add more characters if I wanted. I can't wait to see where you take this story.

Great update. Yay for Non-Despair AU. Hope Monaca can walk again, also will she meet her other Friends again? You know who I'm referring to right. Plus will Makoto help the other four kids?

okay love the emotions and development in this chapter and can't wait for another but the main thing i'm gonna focus on right now is pairing suggestions, okay here my pick suggestions.

Kyoko (need to have the main girl) Komaru (there relationship clearly goes past siblings and seriously their are not enough of this pairing, I don't care if their sibling, if it's implied by the game's and the show then it deserves it share of smut, I mean Naruto has tons of smut where he ends up with his sibling, mother or even daughter so how is that a thing but not this) Aoi (one of the best girl's) Kirumi (master/servant play anyone?) Celestia (every harem needs a goth Lolita) older Monaka (you save a girl from hell you best except she's gonna wanna be more then just friends or in this case siblings) older Kotoko (pretty sure this girls will be chasing Monaka when the time comes around so best way to have her?, get in bed with her and her brother, what? make's sense in her head) Ibuki (this girl dose not get as much love as she deserves in fiction) Mikan (speaking of not getting deserved love, save the nurse from the cruel world she lives in) Seiko (she is just to caring and sweet (no pun intended) to let die alone and betrayed by her so called friends) Miaya (never got to know her past her death and robot form, that needs to change) Chisa (maybe a fling, maybe a one night stand or maybe sensei feels her student needs some, privet lessons) kaede (I love her with shuichi but this is more the need of the roll of "senpai notice me" kind of thing plus girl is hot as damn) Himiko (adorable loli character obtained) Mia (naughty submissive genuine foul mouthed girl target locked and ready to capture on your orders, sir) that the list hope you take some into consideration, can't wait for the update!

Nice story like how makoto character is like I remember

Hey can you give makotos luck into play more often It would be pretty cool to see his luck vs komaedas because both work the same but different at the same time

You can look up the different way ther luck workers in internet

Also, happy birthday.
