cool, but can’t be better than the dubbed comic, though:

This has me interested but I think they should have done one based of persona 3 first. I didn’t enjoy the characters or setting in persona 4 as much as I did persona 3.
I think Persona 4 is the more straight-forward one to adapt, so I wasn’t surprised I guess. Persona 3 is a very strange product– a contrast of mundane school life and the very macabre other-world of shadows, evokers, shady conglomerates and the apocalypse, and a main character with a rather nebulous identity.
Not that Persona 4 is devoid of those weird contrasts, but it’s easier to think about adapting due to its smaller scale & scope, and a slightly better-defined main character (a normal guy staying with his relatives).
