ペルソナ5 [Persona 5] #6

by Hisato Murasaki

Based on the popular video game, this manga’s phantom thieves will steal your heart!

After being arrested and having to transfer to a new high school in Tokyo, Akira Kurusu is given the goal of rehabilitation and awakened to a new power—the power of one’s true self, a Persona. Using his Persona and the mysterious navigation app Mementos, Akira and his friends take on the role of phantom thieves, saving people from the twisted desires of those around them.

The Phantom Thieves’ next target is Junya Kaneshiro, a mafia boss scamming high school students in Shibuya. Akira and his friends manage to fight their way through the tough security forces of Kaneshiro’s palace, but the gangster still has some dirty tricks up his sleeve! Will the Phantom Thieves be able to help Makoto get out of Kaneshiro’s clutches? Or will she end up in debt to him forever?!

Akechi you will be dealt with

The latest volume in the video game spinoff, and knowledge of the video game is doing a lot of work here. The action scenes are very cryptic and not at all well illustrated. While the character art and dialog is engaging and the idea of the world and the idea that warped desires can have mystical / spiritual consequences in interesting, the action scenes are key to an action manga and really take away from the experience.

**Thanks to the artist, publisher, and NetGalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

1) I bet a man wrote this bc all the female characters when standing are arching their back so much that they look like they have scoliosis. He’s only doing it to show their ass off in their skin tight outfits
2) how convenient that everyone who is brought into the meta verse has a persona. A voice inside of them that has been trying to break out. Mhmmm
3) I will continue reading bc I need to know who the guy in the black mask is taking advantage of everyone, also who is spying on them, and what memories both the cat and joker have seemingly lost

Compared to other manga I've read like Dragon Ball, My Hero Academia, Berserk and Hunter x Hunter, this manga doesn't feel as good. The fight scenes are not good at all and it feels like the only real popularity comes from the iconic video game series. I'm not saying the video game is bad just that it's manga is world's away from the mangas I mentioned before in quality. The book does get one star because it ends in suspense. Other than that, I feel like I wasted my money buying it.

A fun read, as expected, with gorgeous illustrations, also as expected. But MAN some of these illustrations are hard to parse, to say nothing of abrupt scene changes and the like with very little to guide/orient the reader. I’ve read enough graphic novels to know that I do not have unrealistic expectations, here!

Really cool, the art is still top tier and the story still has me engaged

I'm loving the scene from the Royal game too!

Makoto appears!! And it's a good time, but Kaneshiro's palace is weak.

This is a great series based on a game compared to others I've read! Great characters drive the story.

[Sierra · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series just got more interesting. Is it him remembering events? Or is that just a glimpse into the future? Chills.

[Cait · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not the most eventful volume, but I haven't read this in a minute and it reminded me how good the Persona story really is. So yeah a good way to get in some low-cal Persona 5 feels.

[Brandy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like this part more in the game then in the book. It seemed like it went too fast.

[Logan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Finally a reference to the interrogation in the game! I love this series more and more with every volume
