Persona fans are passionate about the series’ various party members. This is partly due to the dozens upon dozens of hours we spend with these schoolmates. Our digital anime friends. I carried Morgana the cat around my bag for a year, so he might as well be real.

Late-game addition Haru, meanwhile, is at the bottom of the pack, which is understandable since players don’t spend as much time with her in most playthroughs.

Maybe Ryuji’s charismatic English VA contributed to the character’s popularity in the West?
