Let's go, a Metaphor manga!!!

It was a bit weird seeing the changes they've made to the story's beginning, essentially skipping everything from the start up to the king's funeral. Nonetheless, it was really fun reading this chapter, and I really hope the manga can do justice to the original story. It's one of my favorite games, and I'm really excited to see how the story is going to be told in this medium.

Feels incredibly rushed, but the art is good and they might’ve just wanted to get to the actual meat of the story, so maybe it will slow down after this chapter. Looking forward to what happens next in this adaptation, but so far I’d say the game has done a much better jop at establishing the characters at this point in the story.

Huh, interesting, they are condensing things a bit with this first chapter, but it wasn't at all any bad, a lot of character focus on Strohl from the get-go. I imagine we will get just as much for Hulkenberg later on, considering Strohl usurped her first appearance as is heh

Pretty nice start, but I hope we still get the fortress arc in some form (like, entering the army to discover stuff about Louis, etc...) and the rest of Louis' introduction (the first in-game cutscene). Very cool that they integrated the medicine side-quest as a major plot point.

Currently playing the game, not that far but loving it like all other Atlus games. Love the aesthetic and music. The games prologue is much better than how the manga started. Feels like this is gonna be nothing more than a advertisement for the game. None of atlus adaptations turned out well so far after and might be the case again for this one.

ATLUS' other media adaptations of its games have a long history of just being the worse way to experience the story, with most people coming to the conclusion that you should play the game first and then take these as a bonus read/watch.

I guess I'll stay away from it till I play the game or something. I'm saying this based on all of the Persona's animes and manga adaptations out there, I haven't watched them cus I wanted to play the games first too btw xd.

I’m probably being pessimistic but the character changes are bugging me. I’m not finished with the game yet but I do love it so of course I’m going to be overly critical. Hopefully it stops rushing though.

a little rushed but a nice start
