Artist's commentary
Ultimate Summer X: Peko
"Lay off, will ya? Those kidnappers are only goin' after girls. They're not gonna try and capture me," Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu said. He was lying on the beach with his personal bodyguard Peko Pekoyama watching carefully.
"Nevertheless, young master, we cannot ignore the possibility that they may attempt to target you sooner or later. The Kuzuryu clan is wealthy and very well-connected. If they're doing this for financial gain, you could be at risk."
"Yeah, yeah. Just sit over there and watch if it makes you happy."
Fuyuhiko's eyelids soon grew heavy in the lazy afternoon sunlight.
"Young master! Look out!" Peko shouted, waking him up immediately.
"Whuh?" Fuyuhiko felt a damp, foul-smelling rag pressed into his face. He struck out, but was easily overpowered. As his vision blurred, he saw Peko fighting furiously against a shadowy figure. "Hrmg?"
"Just go to sleep, little gangster," a voice whispered in his ear. "We're only after your pretty bodyguard anyway."
"Drop the sword and put your hands behind your back!" the other intruder yelled. "Or the pint-sized mafia boy gets it!"
"Pek... run..." Fuyuhiko mumbled a warning, but it was too late. He blacked out. When he came to twenty minutes later, the beach was empty. Peko was gone.

Surprise! It just wouldn't be Danganronpa without a secret extra student hiding somewhere!
A few people had expressed interest in seeing Peko join the collection back when I first started planning it, so I decided to throw her in as a bonus. (Yes, it's a redraw of the Chiaki/Aoi pictures, but that's all I had time for, I'm afraid.) Still, Peko's pretty cute so I thought it was worth it. I couldn't decide which gag looked best on her so I just included them all. The green one is the same color as her outfit, so maybe they used her own shirt for the material?
