The publishing license to release the manga adaptation of Danganronpa: The Animation in the United States has been secured by Dark Horse.

According to Anime News Network, the announcement was made during a panel at Anime Central, at which point the publisher also confirmed the first four volumes of the manga will be released in the U.S. next March. The series originally debuted in Kadokawa’s Shounen Ace magazine back in 2013, and saw its conclusion the following year.

The manga is based on the animated adaptation of the popular PlayStation Vita series from Spike Chunsoft, which has received two installments: DanganRonpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair.

Because the games were so well received, NIS has confirmed a third title is currently in development and an action-based spinoff, dubbed Another Episode, is coming to the West later this year.
