With the murderer Mitsuo Kubo apprehended and the case seemingly closed, life in Inaba returns to normal just in time for Soji and his friends to enjoy a well-earned summer vacation. But moving on is proving especially difficult for Naoki Konishi, for whom time has stood still ever since his sister Saki became the second murder victim. Can he and Yosuke find the peace they're seeking, and is Soji and friends' investigation truly over? Based on the popular Persona 4 video game!

this one was pretty emotional, as Naoki dealt with his repressed feelings over his sister's death and Nanako had all those questions about her dad and her mother's death, but at the end . . .

oh WOW - CROSSOVER TIME! need volume seven NOW!

Adapts Mitsuo Kubo's dungeon, the end of summer, and the beginning of the trip to Gekkoukan.

It's fair to call this section the doldrums of the game, which means Sogabe (and the players) have to lean on social links to advance the story. Thankfully, Sogabe has managed to do so by focusing on Naoki and the Dojimas for Soji to interact with. It's a decent volume for a low-key part of the game.

One of the better volumes in the series, but it says a lot about the quality of this series in general that when I saw I had forgotten to review this, I was genuinely unsure whether I had already read this or I had accidentally skipped over it.
