Why is Danganronpa so viciously appealing?

Eurogamer:

They pull each other's hair, torment kittens, damage property with reckless abandon – all without a tremor of shame. They operate on whimsy, bouncing from joy to malevolence at the drop of a toy, caught up in a whirlwind of new experiences and incessant biological changes, never quite pausing to consider the repercussions of their actions. And it's not really their fault either. Children – and to a lesser extent, teenagers – just don't have the same concrete value systems as adults.
