Class Clowns

Class Clowns is the femslash between Monaca Towa and Kotoko Utsugi from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
At the start of the game, Monaca and Kotoko were good friends. Kotoko would often stand up for Monaca. And Monaca was the only person entrusted with mentioning Kotoko's trigger word. Monaca would go on to abuse that power. And then goes on to act like she didn’t mean to hurt Kotoko, and, that the only people wanting to hurt her are demons.

In Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp, Komaru Naegi, Monaca Towa, and Kotoko Utsugi are seen together in a sort of pool. When Komaru tries to look after Monaca in the wheelchair, Kotoko pushes aside Komaru claiming she can do a better job at looking after Monaca than Komaru can. And when Komaru asks Kotoko why she dislikes adults, she responds by saying that she doesn’t dislike them, she hates them. She then goes on to describe how she kills them. Making Monaca respond with disgust. Kotoko then scolds Komaru for asking.

Monaca then asks if Kotoko could relax, to which, Kotoko enthusiastically agrees. Monaca then goes on to threaten Komaru if she ruins their fun. The duo then go on to do cannonballs in the water and just have fun in general.

At the end of the game. Kotoko realizes how Monaca was basically manipulating her. And was faking being her friend. Whilst Monaca and Nagisa were talking, Kotoko had spied on them. And found out, that Monaca really didn’t care about ‘Kid’s Paradise’ and faked caring the entire time. The real reason Monaca was still faking being friends with Kotoko was that she wanted to use Kotoko as a stepping stone to succeeding Junko. It was later revealed that Monaca was brainwashing her followers, making them believe in such hope that didn’t exist.

As the building topples over, Monaca gets herself trapped under pieces of the ceiling. In one of her last attempts to get someone to help her, she begs Kotoko for help. Kotoko denies her help, but still claims to love Monaca, even though she was betrayed. Monaca scoffs and then goes on to call for her older brother, who also denies her help.

Quotes
"Don’t worry about it. You don’t have to go out of your way–I can look after Monaca."

- Kotoko pushing aside Komaru when Komaru tries to help Monaca

"It’s nothing lame like that. It’s not like we dislike adults–we hate them. We’ll beat them, mash them, stick ‘em in a stew… Then blend them with dookie and flush ‘em!"

- Kotoko’s response to Komaru when she asks why Kotoko dislikes adults

"Eww, that’s gross."

"Hmm, that killed the mood. We should relax in silence during baths–nothing more, nothing less."

- Monaca after Kotoko response to Komaru cringing

"You’re right. I want to cherish bath time with you, Monaca!"

- Kotoko cheerfully agreeing to leave the topic of adults to play with Monaca

"Yeah, let’s just be kids and have fun. And there’s not a single adult around to scold us either. Isn’t that right, Komaru Naegi?"

- Monaca threatening Komaru if she ruins their fun

Fanon
Kotoko herself claims to love Monaca at the start of the game. This is the main reason why the ship sparked in the first place. But after the ending of Ultra Despair Girls, Monaca x Kotoko started to lose its fans, due to Monaca's narcissistic nature. It even goes to the point, that Monaca goes out of her way to hurt others. All of Kotoko’s trust is lost, yet, her love still remains.

Sadly, most of Monaca and Kotoko’s fanfictions include the two in a toxic relationship of some sort. With 22 Ao3 stories and a Tumblr tag.
