Persona 3 Volume 5

Persona 3 #5

by Shuji Sogabe (Contributor), ＡＴＬＵＳ

If you thought Shadows were the only enemies S.E.E.S. would ever have to fight, think again! It’s an all-out battle between Persona users as S.E.E.S. comes into direct conflict with Strega, an extremist group using the Dark Hour for their own personal gain. Even with Akihiko’s old friend Shinjiro and the surprisingly mature elementary school student Ken Amada as S.E.E.S.’ newest recruits, Minato and friends are in for their toughest battle yet!

The 5th volume mostly focuses on Junpei and Chidori as well as Ken and Shinjiro. There were moments in the game that were not reflected, but overall, it tells the story well. The art is true to the games and there are some scenes that were not in the game. Additionally, the dialogue gives the intended feeling of sadness and pain that the characters are experiencing.

going over the whole october 4 plot without formally introducing aigis is a little bit insane i can't lie. but the art in this volume has been my favorite so far! i also loved the detail about ken's mom also being a persona wielder in the same boat as shinji & strega where it rampaged against her ... it makes what happened to her & to ken so much more bitter and terrible and i love it

Of course I decided to continue since this is the last one of what I currently own, and I will say, the ending of this volume was so phenomenal. It was really amazing how beautifully illustrated it was. Really hoping to continue soon.

I don’t get it? We have skipped so much. This is such a jumbled mess

Great continuation of what came before.

So much is being skipped in these. I assume most people have played the game and then read these, because if you haven't, this must be so confusing.

Not much substance compared to the others...
