Read this on the plane over to London!!! I absolutely love this series and it’s so true to the game!!! The artwork is gorgeous and the characters retain their voices from the game itself. It’s a very quick read!!
The only negative I have, and I’m pretty sure I commented on this for volume 1, is that the action or battle scenes are very cluttered and it’s hard at points to determine who’s who or what’s what.
Doesn’t detract from the overall enjoyment though and Nanako ALWAYS makes me smile!!!

Persona 4 my beloved

I mean they will all be 5 stars unless there is some drastic change to the story. Persona 4 is one of my all time favorite games.

I can't with the cutaways
📺 My main gripe with this manga is how choppy it is. From the end of the first manga to the beggining of this one I am left feeling that I am missing a piece.
📺 Feels rushed. At this point in time I do not care enough about Yukiko or understand the depth of her relationship with Chie. If they'd added more emphasis in the first volume I would've gotten it, but the fact is that I don't got it.
📺 By the later half of the manga I did actually enjoy Yukiko and Chie's relationship. The whole thing felt very relateable as they were very close yet they struggled to form that more emotional connection. I enjoyed it but I just know their relationship will be dropped as the series goes on.
📺 Similar to the last point, but I enjoyed Yukiko's resolve to be independent. She's been coddled her whole life and wants the feeling of autonomy. But yet again, she will probably never get the spotlight to complete this arc.
📺 Nanako!! Nanako characterization!! I think it should've planted seeds first voljme but whatever.
📺 I dislike the cutaway to Kanji and Naoto. It was unnecessary and felt oddly placed.

Listen, I thought the first volume made Yosuke and Yu seem a little gay, but THIS volume blew it out of the water. Chie and Yukiko were SO FUCKING GAY DFJKGDFKGJK
Which I'm absolutely here for. Like literally in the manga people are saying how they ditch school together, are attached at the hip, and make people feel like third wheels. THESE BITCHES LESBIANSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Persona 4 but everyone is a little LGBT fr fr the story would've been better, no lie.
But yeah, I had fun. I'm not really a Chie or Yukiko enjoyer but I still had a good time :D

i actually really like the concept of having a shadow—a part of you that you have repressed…an unstable part of your psyche that has broken free of you and taken physical form—a part of you that you cannot accept and choose to hide so far deep down that it detaches itself from you and becomes its own evil entity. it really goes to show how you can’t hide from yourself and have to really be one with your thoughts, accepting and acknowledging them instead of pushing them away. and right when you say the words “you’re not me” it gives the shadow the power to become its final evil boss self. such a cool concept to think about.
i also think the chie’s fight scene with her shadow was so badass and the drawing is so cool.
i also really love teddie. he’s so funny.

Adapts Yukiko's dungeon and Golden Week, up to the first glimpses of Kanji and Naoto.
This was a definite improvement over Volume 1, and it felt very true to the story and events of the game. The battles are very kinetic, but also kind of cluttered on the page, which confuses the action a bit; but considering this is adapting a turn-based JRPG, it's really a lot of pressure on the artist to make that exciting on the page, and I think Sogabe's doing an admirable job. A little disappointed we didn't get another glimpse in the Velvet Room though. I need to find time to play the game again.

Quick stories of Chie and Yukiko who join the fray. Did not feel as in depth into plot as the previous one; now it feels more like they're introducing characters one at time until the party is full. I expect another few volumes before the plot really moves again. Battle scenes are ..slightly.. better, but still not great.

I’m reading this series in lieu of actually playing Persona 4, and I think the manga suffers sometimes because it assumes you’ll have already played the game. The battle scenes in particular are often hard to follow, as I struggle to fully grasp what I’m looking at when unfamiliar Personas are duking it out. Otherwise, it’s not bad - intriguing enough that I plan to keep reading.

Definitely an improvement on the first volume. The character arcs of Chie and Yukiko felt rushed like those in Volume 1, but the pacing is definitely better. Chie sorta highjacks Yukiko’s moment, but I get what the author was going for and just wish Yukiko had a bit more time for her stuff.

Amazing! Yukiko's Dungeon is my favorite and everything in it was really well depicted. Can't wait to keep reading

Lots of sexual innuendo that would make it better suited for a high school or adult audience.

SO CUTE AND OMG NEXT VOLUME HAS TWO OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS EVER AND MY FAVORITE SHIP OF ALL TIME

Soji (aka Yu) Nurakami and friends continue the investigation of the Midnight Channel. After saving another victim the group begins to theorize on how the victims are chosen. We also see more into Soji's life with the Dojimas and the Japanese holiday, Golden Week.
I loved the PS Vita remake of the game this is based on, and as I said in the review of Vol 1, The Vita version of the game is worth buying the system alone. (The original version is on the PS store to download on the PS 3). If you love JRPGs I would recommend this game, and the manga series.

Okay, I'm still not sure what's going on, but I like these characters. Nanako is the cutest and I'm already shipping Chie and Yukiko because who wouldn't? I shall continue :)
