Ren Amamiya starts his second year at Shujin Academy in Tokyo, and an incident awakens his Persona; with Ryuji Sakamoto, Ann Takamaki and the talking cat Morgana he forms the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, stealing the distorted desires that drive corrupt adults. This manga sets original cases against that routine: an attempted poisoning of a company president, a clinic nobody trusts, a suspicious order at a military-surplus shop. Detective Goro Akechi keeps turning up wherever the Thieves work.
