[L.S. Popovich · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Japanese edition is not only more affordable than the English version, it's 80 pages longer. You get 500 high-quality color pages, each with multiple illustrations of nearly everything in the original game. A beautiful and nostalgic art book to cherish.

This is the Japanese version. If you love the artwork of Persona 5, you'll love this book. So much goodness for your eyes to absorb.

[Kerstin Rosero · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a fantastic artbook to one of my favorite games, Persona 5. This book could have taught an art class on character study, expressions, and outfits. The art was so clean, like I could reach out and feel the texture of the characters' clothing. Really impressive, inspiring, and attractive art.

A fantastic artbook for a fantastic game!

We were robbed from having such a beautiful beast of Iwai. Read it again recently to regain sanity from overworking myself. One of the best souvenirs I got from Japan btw.
