He joins the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (SEES), and with his new friends, confronts the threat of the Shadows.
After signing a contract in which he "accepts his fate of his own free will," the Main Character battles with the other members of SEES against the Greater Shadows, incarnations with traits and appearances similar to those of the first twelve Major Arcana of the Tarot.

For these who probably unaware, I woulde like to inform you that Persona 3 does have official manga version, authored by Shuji Sogabe. So far 1 volume has been released, and it is published monthly in Dengeki Maoh.
The art is promising, and quite detailed (save for few instances, there are some detail that still look like rough draft), also it's nice to know that the protagonist has been given name (Arisato Minato, sounds like pun, because these doubles -to) and his character is quite calm, hardly talkative, as expected being originally silent protagonist 8D.
Perhaps it's still too early to discuss this manga? Anyway, if you enjoy Persona 3, you probably would enjoy this as well.
