Persona 5 Volume 5is a phenomenal deep dive into the characters and motivations of the Phantom Thieves. There's not much action, but the plot propels the main story forward at one of its most pivotal moments. It gives insight and understanding into Makoto and sets up her future role with the Phantom Thieves in a meaningful way. It's a great addition to the Persona lore, even for already-established fans of the series.

Overall, Persona 5 Volume 4 is highly dependent on character development and dialogue, managing to nail both of these aspects almost perfectly. While visually the volume can be confusing at times, this set of chapters gives fans much to look forward to as we watch the Phantom Thieves grow in the face of adversity and carry on their mission against the evil, corrupt adults of the world.
