I think the game is supposed to imply that Margaret is talking to the player, but I like the idea that she's just telling the story to Marie even more.
And so, with this final comic...here we are, folks. The end of Persona for the Win. I don't even know what to say right now. I started this series back in 2009, almost ten years ago, and I didn't think it would last a month, but you fans kept it going. I went through so many life changes while making this series. College, relationships, jobs, all things that didn't last as long as this series has.
I want to thank each and every one of you for being here. I can't believe anyone would stick around, but you did. You helped make this series a reality. Through hiatuses, the Persona 2 arc, changing websites, you've all kept this series going strong until today when we could finally end it.
Thank you so SO much for inspiring me, and encouraging me to keep working. I don't think it's exaggerating to say my life would be VERY different if I hadn't done this series.
I might not be doing comics anymore, but I'm still discussing video games, particularly MegaTen on the internet. If you haven't checked out my YouTube channel yet, it'd mean a lot to me if you looked into that if you ever want more Strain42 in your life. To celebrate this series coming to a close, I'm doing a very special dancing related episode of The Demonic Compendium that you can check out here.

Thank you all again SO much for being a part of this series and for sticking it out until the end. I'm glad I did.
Thank you very much for your hard work! This series was something I was waiting for every week for several years, so it will be weird to not have it anymore... Thank you for brightening my days for so long! You and your comics are amazing!
I only discovered the comic about two years ago, and it took me six months to get caught up, but I was certainly a fan for the time I was reading it. As to my thoughts on the comic, I believe it is enough to say that (even though I have seen some playthroughs) I have never played a Persona game, and remained enthralled. Thank you for all the work and time you put in (I have seen people get bored/give up after much less time than you, and you never seriously slipped on your schedule), and I wish you success in wherever life is choosing to take you now.
Got into this around the time P3P came out, read straight thru until falling off the bandwagon somewhere around Arena, and just got back in a month ago. Good timing, I see. Sad you won't be following up with P5, but its either know when to quit or find yourself adapting every little spinoff down to the two fighting games no one asked for and the rhythm dance music visual novel.
Don't know if you're still reading this comments but I just wanted to tell my piece.
I originally found the comic on the Duck and you where pretty much the reason for me to buy Persona 1 and both 2's. (and three... For some reason I thought Persona 4 on the PS 2 was a standalone titel...)
I tried to keep up, but somewhere on the line the comic slipped my mind, until recently I remembered (wasn't there a pretty cool Persona comic?) I read through all the stuff. Sometimes I snickered, sometimes I laughed, sometimes the comics didn't do much for me, but it was great nonetheless. I'm a bit sad that you end it (and didn't do more with Raidou) but it's still a blast and you did a massive masterpiece (if you seriously think about printing that I'm pretty sure I would buy that.)
Goodbye Strain, buddy, (Yes I'm watching your Youtube channel and it's awesome!)
Wait.
WAIT.
What do you mean there's a full website with every comic and it's more than 3 and 4???? I've read it on the duck and then got curious and googled to see if you did a 5 one....... and there's a website. Well, guess I know what I'm doing the rest of the week
Best of luck to you and your future endeavors.
Waitaminit...
