Persona storytime

Story timing Megami Ibunroku -Persona- Be Your True Mind, the manga adaptation for Persona 1.

I played the game years ago but never read the manga, figured I'd share the experience with you nerds.

...

...

Lets get the ball rolling

...

...

There goes philemon

...

Mainline SMT is better.

Why the fuck would you get piercings as a kid?

It sure as fuck is, but Persona 1-2 are as close to mainline SMT as the series gets.

Nanjo is best boy

I hope it's at least somewhat interesting, unlike the game.

IVA exist

What about IVA?

I've read the manga a while ago. I had more fun with it than I did the game. It helps having more of a plot.

...

Reminder that Black Mark is best Mark

Is like the developers of the game never played a SMT before both bonds and Massacre endind are some of the most retarded shit in any SMT game.
Also the characters were shit

...

>the most retarded shit in any SMT game.
Can't be worse then Zelenin

...

...

I wish the Persona game was something the later games kept

...

still going?

>I wish the Persona game was something the later games kept
It was a retarded and lazy way to get your persona

...

Didn't have the page refreshed?
Better then shooting yourself in the head

Yeah they really added something to the setting. I liked them better than having them come out for no real defined reason, or accepting your "true self".

...

I always thought Philemon was cool

...

I felt the whole Persona thing worked better in 1-2, was definitely better explained. May as well just be stands in 3-4

...

As per usual sensei is hot

>We all had the same supernatural event happen to us
>We should go to the hospital
This makes sense

...

Sensei was best girl.

Aren't they always

...

...

...

...

...

...

Chapter end

Pretty uneventful first chapter

Chapter 2

You will never have a butler as based as Yamaoka.

...

Best Persona

...

Why do they ALWAYS tell the obviously evil guy that they're going to call police to their face?

...

...

...

P3 is where they started being influenced by JoJo rather than Jugian Mytho/Psychology.

P1 and P2 are full blown Jung with a bit of Lovecraft.

Also P2 is literally objectively superior to P1 in every single way.

Give me a link to the manga so I don't have to suffer through the thread btw.

...

...

...

Does the manga cover SQQ or only SEBEC route?

...

>with a bit of Lovecraft.
Nyarly appearing ''for the lulz'' is not a big of Lovecraft

...

Took long enough for shit to hit the fan

>Give me a link to the manga
I downloaded it all using a manga downloader called Hakuneko.

It covers both. It works SQQ into the SEBEC route.

It is literally a bit, it's just one character from Lovecraft fiction and he's not even the actual Nyarly, just a human construct given shape by negative emotions and polar opposite to Philemon.

Persona's Nyarly is literally no different from Sup Forums's meme magic chaos frog diety KEK

I wouldn't know but I'd imagine it only did the Sebec route. How would they do both routes in one manga?

Oh shit nice, I never did the SQQ so that'll be completely new for me

BEST BUTLER

...

...

I never understood how Persona got so popular.
SMT should be an autistic dungeon crawler, not a waifufest.

...

...

...

It's a little rushed compared to the game, but they work wit hit the best they can.

While following the same basic plot the manga handles things differently after the first few chapters, so even if you played the whole game it should still be pretty fresh.

...

High school life appeals to more people.

...

>SMT not a waifufest
>Muh demonfu
>IVA
I will never understand this complex that SMT fans have with the Persona series. Also talking abot the dungeons when P5 has some of the best in the series is just plain ignorance

STOP BEING A FAGGOT AND GIVE DOWNLOAD LINKS TO THE MANGA

...

...

this, make a mega of the entire thing please

...

The best dungeons on the series are on SJ.
Strange Journey was the logical conclusion to SMT, everything is downhill from there.

...

...

End of chapter 2

I already told you faggots how I got the manga

Do it yourself idiots

SMT always had waifus, but they aren't such a big focus.

P5 is literally the best thing that could've happened to Persona series since 2.
Both thematically and with atmosphere it's a lot like If.../P1/P2 rather than P3/P4, it takes the best part of 3/4 which is the greatly improved gameplay mechanics and improves them even further
Soundtrack is again a lot more about atmosphere and ambience without losing the "catchy" aspects just like the P1/P2 soundtracks
Hand crafted dungeons again rather than procedurally generated cancer of P3/P4

Generally P5 is without a shadow of a doubt GOTY material for me.

Chapter 3

The same goes for Persona, but hey people blow the SL out of proportion when the best SL aren't even female

...

I only took 3 chapters to finally see a Persona. Not counting Yamaoka.

>The shadow isn't Kongou's siluette
Wasted oportunitty desu

SMT proper has some pretty good waifus

Well 3&4 really made the waifushit apparent. No idea about 1&2 since I've barely started 1.
