Firstly, I was very surprised this particular artbook was still available, because it was a 2016 release and it's highly coveted among fellow fans of Persona 5. However, when I saw they were doing a pre-order for another artbook that was released in May 2024 (more on that on another review), I decided I could no longer pass this up. I warn you that it's still pricy, but no more than other third-party shops are. I do think I was able to avail of this and three others via an ongoing promotion (possibly a birthday thing because my birthday was in March and I ordered this in April). That said, it's also a whopping 512 pages of full colour, and even if I don't read Japanese as well as I used to I can still appreciate it as a treasure trove for videogame design and production work. Now, I have to give major kudos to CDJapan. They figured out I would rather get this and my other artbooks in one delivery box, so even if the original order form said these would ship at an earlier date from the pre-order book's availability, they chose to pack them all in very carefully together in one box since it seemed the pre-order release came out a week early. And when I say carefully, each artbook was enclosed in bubble wrap, which was a godsend since only the pre-order book had its own separate wrapping; it was also slightly hilarious because the pre-order book also had a second layer of bubble wrap! So all the books came clean and pristine, with no damage whatsoever. I'm also glad that they came a week earlier than expected. I was always a bit wary of third-party stores selling merchandise from Japan, but this experience has proven completely worth it. I'm hoping some of the other artbooks I'm looking for are available again so that I can keep ordering from them!

Customer Reviews
I live very far away so the packages tend to take around 3 months to get here lol but still the prizes are really good considering they come from japan and the stuff always comes in great quality and well packaged. The book is HUGE and it’s my favorite thing I’ve bought from here ^^ It has all types of characters full profiles, concept art, the staff etc it’s a very stylish book and anyone who’s a fan will love it for sure (even if you don’t know japanese, 95% of the book are pictures so yeah)
This book is huge, it's really big and heavy (about 2Kg) and has an unbelievable volume (more than 500 pages). It has absolutely everything from Persona 5. All pages are colored and the quality of the paper and print is really good too. The illustrations are beautiful and very detailed. The book includes absolutely every single picture/illustration from the game including characters, scenarios, key art and prototypes. This is certainly the biggest book I have right now and probably the most impressive, it's a must buy for every Persona fan like myself.
