Megami Tensei Jūnenshi is a book about the Megami Tensei franchise written by CB's Project, edited by Famitsu, and published by Aspect. It is a celebration of the franchise's ten-year anniversary. The book is divided into two main sections: the "World" segment, focused on the story and characters; and the "Play" segment, focused on gameplay. The book primarily covers Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei II, Shin Megami Tensei, Shin Megami Tensei II, Shin Megami Tensei if..., Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner, and Megami Ibunroku Persona. It also provides a lesser amount of coverage for Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei and Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, with the latter being featured only in the World section of the book. Additionally, the World part of the book also has a brief "Another DDS World" subsection covering the three Majin Tensei games and the three numbered Last Bible games.

時が経つのは早いもので、女神転生シリーズの第一弾が産声を上げてから、今年で10年。 自分自身の分身とも言えるメガテンを、読者とともに振り返ることが出来れば幸いである。 岡田耕始 |

Time passes quickly, and this year marks 10 years since the first installment of the Megami Tensei series came into the world. It would make me glad if, together with readers, we could look back on MegaTen, which can be called a part of myself. Kōji Okada |

Trivia
- According to Kazuma Kaneko, the artwork "Traffic" was created because the editor suggested having another illustration under the dust jacket. The concept for the artwork is characters across 10 years of the history of the franchise coincidentally pass by each other while walking down the street.[1]
