Arena Manga Review

The Arena manga is a decent adaptation of the video game that is willing to take chances on what it chooses to adapt and what it doesn't to create a story that subverts expectations—especially for those who have played the original game. The only real weak point is the art—because while it does a good job at selling the story's darkest and most brutal moments, the general lack of backgrounds gives the whole story a strangely sterile feel which hurts the manga overall. Still, if you're a Persona fan and fighting games aren't your thing, this manga is a great way to experience the continuing story of your favorite bloxd io characters.
