Persona 5, Vol. 8

ペルソナ5 [Persona 5] #8

by Hisato Murasaki, Atlus (Creator)

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 worldwide cyberterrorism organization Medjed has targeted the Phantom Thieves, threatening to shut down all of Japan if they don’t reveal themselves! But Akira receives a message from the mysterious Alibaba, who has a special offer for the Phantom Thieves—steal a certain person’s heart, and they will take care of Medjed. But that person is none other than Sojiro Sakura’s adopted daughter, Futaba Sakura! With this wrench in their plans, will the Phantom Thieves be able to deliver in time?

I am absolutely obsessed with the game, manga and I’m watching the series as well! I especially love Futaba’s story. It’s so sad and it shows what she’s going through. You may think she’s a shy girl but her head is a mess. She’s very smart and her skill is awesome! When the gang tries to connect with Futaba, it can be difficult to get through to her but they do their best to help her and it’s such a beautiful feeling ♥️

*3.5 rounded up

Not gonna lie, there could have been less cleavage in this one.

Aside from that, I like this series a lot. I really love the art and how the characters are depicted! For people newer to the storyline, the manga (particularly this one) really DOES rely on you knowing the story from the game, which I do really well so I enjoyed it despite that!

futaba’s palace is truly where the story properly kicks off but I just think the way the palaces are written in the manga is a little disappointing. I understand it’s hard to translate from a game format tho

Glad we are showing more pervy shit. Talking about see thru shirts and close ups of butts. Good job putting your fantasies in this one. Maybe we need to change you heart Hisato. Have you confess that you like high school girls bc that’s all I’m getting from this manga
