| Due to the high sales of ''[[Persona 3]]'', [[Atlus]] ordered a manga adaptation to be made the year following the game's release, in 2007, and was given to Shūji Sogabe, who also handled the [[Persona 4 manga|''Persona 4'' manga]] starting in 2009. Because of this, production of the ''Persona 3'' manga would be significantally slowed down and only be periodically updated. Nevertheless, the series ended on January 21st 2017 with 11 volumes. The manga was published by Udon Entertainment in the United States. The manga jumps between multiple points in the chronology, in order to offer a new narration.

| Each volume is referred to as a "Chapitre", which is French for Chapter. Each individual chapter is referred to as a "Piece" and given a French name. The protagonist is named Minato Arisato (有里湊), a name that would only appear here. The manga adapts only the story of ''Persona 3'', and doesn't have any element from either ''[[The Answer]]'' or ''[[Persona 3 Portable]]''.
