Persona 5, Vol. 1

This book is awesome, seeing as I had never read a manga I had no idea what to expect, but for the price I had to check it out. I had convinced myself that if I couldn’t get into a manga on Persona 5 than I’d never be able to get into one since it’s my all time favorite game. The artwork is amazing and the pacing is great! After playing the games both the OG and Royal version, as well as watching the anime (which I still wish they’d dub), I find this manga gives more of an overall feel for the entire story. It feels like a circle that was only partially drawn has now been completed. I know the story by heart, but this manga still elaborates and brings the story to life in a way that neither the game or anime alone has done. It’s hard to explain but it ties up the story and really brings it home. It adds a sense of realism that both of the former seem to lack. It’s definitely worth the pick up if you love Persona 5, even for the artwork alone. I ordered the second volume immediately after finishing the first. This manga has opened up an entire new medium for me, and the story itself is life changing in my experience. Enjoy!

Good book

I pre ordered this way back when it was initially announced since I'm really into Persona. I had never looked into or bought any form of manga before so I was concerned over how I would enjoy it, but wow. It came in great condition and I was immediately hooked by the awesome art style and overall design of everything. It's slightly different than the game, but it's to be expected that it wouldn't be a one for one recreation of every scene in Persona 5. But that isn't a negative because it does the original story justice all the same, and despite me already knowing the story, I still felt hyped up going through these pages. I'm really excited for the next installments!

This is a very good read to anyone who has played Persona 5 or wants to see what the game is about without playing it. Some parts are changed from the game, yet it stills follows the main story of the game. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to see what is different between the game and this or to anyone who wants a quick read as it is a quick read to me at least.

If your a huge fan of Persona 5 or don’t own a PS4 to play the game. This is a great read, it’s basically the game but in manga form. The art is very nice and it’s nice getting to “hear” Jokers voice as he’s a silent protagonist in the games.

As a fan of the name 'Akira Kurusu' instead of 'Ren Amamiya' since Akira was first used as seen in here ( since this manga came out before the anime ), this is a wonderful adaptation of Persona 5's story-line. Love this version of the protagonist instead of his anime counterpart. Everything else is basically how the game goes with a few more twists and turns. A great extended perspective on the Persona 5 series.

Good adaptation of the game.

Overall great story and adaptation of the game. Order came really early and in perfect condition 🐐

Comprei o mangá pra conhecer mais sobre o universo de persona e consegui , ótimos personagens, excelente história que faz vc não desgrudar os olhos até o final.

Lo compre para un regalo de mi amigo y le encantó, una buena adquisición si eres fan de Persona

Ich kenne das Spiel, so wie denn Anime und habe jetzt auch den ersten Band des Mangas gelesen. Nicht nur, dass mir der Name Akira Kurusu besser gefällt als Amamiya Ren, finde ich dass der Manga ganz gut die Story Elemente des Spiels aufgreift. Meine ersten bedenken vor dem Kauf waren, dass der Manga vielleicht genauso wie im Anime viele Story Elemente verkürzt, wie z.B. die Palaces die im Anime auf teilweise bis zu zwei Folgen gekürzt wurden, obwohl sie ein großer Teil des Spieles sind, doch im Manga ist das zum Glück nicht der Fall, dass sich irgendetwas gekürzt anfühlt. Im Manga bemerkt man auch mehr Charakterzüge des Hauptprotagonisten. Im Spiel redet er nur meistens, wenn quasi eine Antwort erwartet wird und er erwähnt nur die wichtigsten Dinge. Im Manga siehst man die Gedanken Gänge viel besser und ich finde die Emotionen kommen viel besser rüber als im Spiel. Deshalb hoffe ich, dass die Manga reihe weitergeführt wird und vielleicht auch irgendwann eine Deutsche Übersetzung raus kommt, was ich leider bezweifle. Der Zeichen styl des Mangas ist nicht so Comic artig wie im Spiel, aber ich finde das der Styl, denn sie gewählt haben ganz gut passt. An alle die diesen Manga kaufen wollen, es ist sein Geld auf alle Fälle Wert und es unterstützt die Zeichner und Schreiber des Mangas. Das ist alles nur meine Meinung und ich hoffe, das es einige von euch weiterhelfen wird.

If you're a Persona 5 lover... Then I can't recommend this book enough. It. Is. Amazing!!! I'll be buying the whole series. I can't wait.

I love the persona series and persona 5 was the first game I played and this manga so far has made me feel as excited as I did when I fishy played the game simply amazing
