Persona 2 - Innocent Sin Comic Anthology

The Persona 2: Innocent Sin Comic Anthology was published in the late 1990s following the release of the titular role-playing game on the original PlayStation. As part of a wave of tie-in merchandise common to Atlus titles of that era, these anthologies were commissioned to capitalize on the game's cult following. They served as a creative outlet for various manga artists to interpret the dark, psychological themes of the Shin Megami Tensei spin-off series through short, often humorous vignettes that contrasted with the game's somber narrative.

Taihei Hiromi contributed to this anthology alongside a collection of other illustrators tasked with translating the distinct character designs and urban occult setting into a serialized comic format. The design intent was to provide fans with supplementary character-driven stories, bridging the gap between the complex plot mechanics of the game and the lighthearted, expressive nature of traditional anthology works. While these volumes were largely intended for the domestic Japanese market, they have since become sought-after artifacts for international collectors documenting the history of the Persona franchise's aesthetic evolution.
