Last year in July 2020, the author of the Persona 5: Mementos Mission manga, Rokuro Saito, had confirmed that the manga would eventually see an overseas release. Today, comic book publisher Udon Entertainment has announced that they will be officially releasing the English version of Persona 5: Mementos Mission.
Persona 5: Mementos Mission is an original story based on Persona 5, revolving around the protagonist Ren Amamiya’s daily life, as he resolves problems his fellow Phantom Thieves and Confidants are dealing with in missions unrepresented in the actual game.
The first volume of the English version of the manga will be released on December 7, 2021. There is an exclusive Barnes & Noble edition of the manga, and it is also currently available for pre-order on Amazon US and Amazon UK.
