I’m going to begin by listing off my top 5 favorite manga: (1) Hunter X Hunter, (2) Elfen Lied, (3) Berserk, (4) Samurai Champloo, and (5) Death Note. I’m beginning this way because I want to make two points clear: first, I want the reader to know what I consider top tier manga to be; second, if you’re familiar with any of the manga on this list, you’ll have a pretty good idea of how outstanding R: IL Persona is: it’s as good as any of the five just listed.
