UDON Announces Persona 5: Comic à la Carte

11 Comments | ATLUS, comic books, comics, manga, Persona, Persona 5, UDON Entertainment | By | | 2 minutes of reading

There’s a lot of Persona coming our way, suddenly. News leaked yesterday of two titles coming to consoles soon: a remake of Persona 3 and a Persona 5 spinoff game called Persona 5 Tactica. In the latter, you move stylized P5 characters on a grid, position them strategically, and attack with turn-based moves. It’s much like XCOM or those games where Mario meets the Rabbids.

But there will also be reading material: UDON Entertainment has announced they’ll be publishing the English version of an anthology manga based on Persona 5. They call it Persona 5: Comic à la Carte, and as its name implies, you get a mix of content: short stories, long stories, and one-off gags from over a dozen contemporary manga writers and artists.

The book will feature stories by Yuztan (Dragon’s Crown manga), Kyosuke Suga (Danganronpa manga), Tachibananoneko, Ran, Ueno, Tsukito, Tokiwa, Kazuichi, Ryuuseee, 337, Miyasumi, Kyouichi, and Suga Toshio. According to Udon, “The stories range from playful to deadly, as the Phantom Thieves build their friendships on thrilling shopping dates, visiting back-alley doctors, tackling giant burger challenges, and even preparing their own recipes! Joker, Oracle, Skull, and the team will never be the same!”

UDON has provided a six-page preview of Persona 5: Comic à la Carte below. Between these upcoming products and the recent re-releases of Personas 4 and 5, it feels like a fruitful time to be into the franchise…unless what you want is Persona 6. Where is it anyway?

Oh, this is just what I needed! I can't get enough of Persona 5, and having a manga anthology to delve into sounds perfect. The mix of short stories, long stories, and gags will keep things interesting. I'm really looking forward to it. Udon Entertainment did a great job with the previews. The art style looks vibrant and captures the essence of Persona 5. I'm excited to see how they bring the characters to life in the comic format. It's going to be a visual treat for sure.

I wasn't expecting this. Persona 5-themed manga? That's intriguing. I'm looking forward to seeing how they recreate the essence of the game in comic form. The stories stated sound interesting, ranging from shopping dates to burger problems. It should be a pleasant read. Finally, some Persona 5 stuff! After playing the game, I've been yearning more. The fact that they're involving many manga writers and artists brings to the excitement. I'm excited to see what stories they come up with.

Persona 3 remake, Persona 5 spinoff game, and now a manga anthology? They're really milking the Persona franchise, aren't they? I mean, I get it, it's popular, but I hope they don't dilute the quality with all these spinoffs.

This is a nice surprise. I didn't see it coming. I've always enjoyed manga, and combining it with Persona 5 sounds like a good match. I hope they capture the game's essence and characters well in the comic.

The Capcom UDON comics are absolutely awesome. They've done such a fantastic job with Street Fighter, and if they can bring that same level of quality and passion to Persona, it's gonna be amazing. Kudos to Atlus for trusting UDON with this project. I have no doubt that they'll deliver something truly special for the Persona fans. Can't wait to see what they come up with!

The preview pages are quite inviting. I enjoy the visual style, and the stories seem to embody Persona 5's vibe. It's interesting to witness the Phantom Thieves in different scenarios and places. I'm certainly interested in reading the entire anthology. It provides a new perspective on the world and characters we know and love. The diversity of stories stated in the description appears to provide something for everyone.

UDON Entertainment did an amazing job assembling a talented group of manga writers and artists for Persona 5: Comic à la Carte. I did some research and found out that Yuztan has worked on the Dragon's Crown manga, which is stunning! And Kyosuke Suga, the creator of the Danganronpa manga, is involved too? That's incredible! With such a creative team behind it, I have no doubt that this anthology will capture the essence of Persona 5 and provide us with unforgettable stories.

Being a fan of the Persona series since Persona 3, and it's been fascinating to watch it evolve over time. Persona 4 was a work of art, and Persona 5 elevated things to the next level. With Persona 5: Comic à la Carte on the horizon, it appears that the universe is expanding and providing us with more to enjoy. I can't wait to return to the world of the Phantom Thieves via the great manga creators' eyes.
