I really enjoyed this manga. The 3 volumes tell a full and satisfying story that remains faithful to the game and its characters. Mementos Mission takes place between the 5th and 6th palaces of the game, and focuses on an original villain, along with other new and familiar faces. Honestly, this is probably the only good thing to come out of the mediocre 5th palace. The artwork is also great, and definitely nails Soejima's original style. I also appreciate how much characterization Joker is given here, along with some really funny and memorable moments. If you're looking for more Persona 5 content, or you just miss the Phantom Thieves, I highly recommend this series.

A really enjoyable manga for Persona 5 fans and a great way to spend more time with the characters! I find this manga incredibly underrated among Persona fans and I feel like more people should know about it.

While the story is non-canon and isn’t some grand adventure filled with twists and turns, as a side story it’s really enjoyable! It mainly focuses on some of the less explored aspects of the original game, like Ann's modeling career or Akechi and Sae's relationship. The mangaka also gave Joker a fun personality and he seems to be his favorite. A good amount of it is focused on his daily life and there are many fanservice moments with him.

Oh, and the artstyle is incredible! It's very reminiscent of Soejima's style while also having a little bit of its own unique charm. Morgana is really adorably drawn in particular. The covers are nice :)
