A wonderful adaptation of the video game with beautiful artwork that stays pretty true to the game. They’ve mainly focused on the main storyline rather than the side characters and quests for the most part so far, but they have some fun little extra short stories about the confidants at the end. Sakura-San and your teacher in this one. I kind of hate the teacher storyline in the game so it’s nice to see it presented differently.

They did change little story points - like they were vague about wh ...more

I've never played the Persona video games but they are wildly popular so I decided to give the manga a shot and WOW I can see why it's popular. The story was compelling, but the graphics really drew me in. This is a very well drawn manga because it doesn't focus on patterns or overlays, it's stark contrast in the art and they do a lot of facial close ups so you really feel like you can see the emotions of the characters. I also appreciated that each character is completely different in personali ...more

Thanks to Netgalley for providing a free ARC. I've been wanting to check out how this worked as a manga.

I started playing Persona 5 earlier this year, beat it, and tore through Royal when that came out as well. Loved the game. So the story is still pretty fresh in my mind and I think this volume did a nice job of faithfully adapting the game. It starts with (view spoiler) boss battle, then covers the aftermath, (view spoiler) ...more

Persona 5, Vol. 4 is a quick, great read for fans of the Persona 5 game. It stayed loyal to the story-line, artwork, and conversation style of the game, which is a huge plus for me. I also personally loved getting to see Carmen in this illustrated version, since she is my favorite Persona/character in the series (though, selfishly, I wish we could have had just a little more of her).

Cons: I believe the message explaining that it "reads from right to left, starting in the upper right corner. Japa ...more

I would like to preface this review that I am a very big fan of the Persona video game series. The 5th installment was nothing short of breath-taking for its originality, breadth of content, and gameplay. This manga rendition of the game is an amazing way to engage video-game fans, anime fans, and manga fans alike. It has something for everyone, whether they are new to the story or returning after a game hangover from clocking 120+ hours in the Persona 5 Metaverse.

Art: 5/5

Story adaptation: 5/5

Thank you netgalley for providing me an arc of this book.

Persona is a game series that quite famous right now. I've only played Persona 4 and like it greatly. I haven't played Persona 5 but oftenly saw people talk about it on social media. I've been wondering why a lot of people like it and what is this 'pantom thief' about.

This manga summarized the game's plot and I heard it's faithful in following the game's storyline. It is a good starting point to get a glimpse of the story or the atmospher ...more

This Is The Fourth Time I've Experienced This Part Of The Story, The First & Second Time Is The Game (I Am Currently On My Second Playthrough) & The Third Is The Anime, & No I Enjoyed This Time As Much As The Others!
The Story Flows Really Nicely In A Manga Format, Better Than The Anime In My Opinion
Its Hard To Tottally Review This Volume On Its Own As Its Not My First Time With This Story But I Will Say That It Builds Upon Points Brought Up Earlier

(8/14/2020) Thank you Netgalley for an e-ARC! (4 stars)
I am an avid fan of Persona 5 and this manga was very faithful to the game! My only complaint is that the action is very difficult to translate into a manga so it was hard to follow. Also when the characters would say oh my "gawd" (I get why but it's still odd to see how often it came up). I love the art style though and I love that Akira actually has dialogue. I really like how certain characters look (Goro and Morgana to name a few). A ver ...more

Thanks NetGalley for the Arc!

Another good continuation to this series. I especially like the chapter from Makoto's perspective. The big drawback is that the art seems to have taken a step back in this issue. It's not bad, but linework seems to be unfinished or faint, which wasn't an issue I noticed with previous volumes. ...more

It was great! As it is a visual novel, it was quick & easy to read. Most things from this manga stayed in line with the official game, which is nice, and some little moments left me pleasantly surprised with the way Murasaki chose to depict them (combat scenes especially). You can't go wrong with P5. ...more
