That isn't a necro, yours was only for a few days old. Like this one is.
Let's see, F1 showed the link towards the Persona 3 manga (or a chapter of it released that is) and I'm intrested from it a bit from the 'start' so to speak.
Oh, yes for those who are asking.

StarryHeaven Website (ye gods my eyes!)
That's where the manga is (and being translated by) for your information.
However, it seems like there's only about one nitpick about it from me and that was Arisato (the main character) was apparently given a knife, while in the game, he was given a sword. I guess that's acceptable as normally, unless you had the training for it, you probably wouldn't use a sword and I don't exactly recall of Arisato actually knowing how to use a sword via plot device. Also a knife is easier to carry and such.
Now, without the game system, thus making it 'real time' as it were, I guess it's plausible for Arisato's -by the way, is that really his official name? just making sure- Persona to get stabbed. I recall him (in the game movie) summoning it, but never getting stabbed. I suppose that it's more better than just to have him clutch his head for no reason and the plot device appears. Least it gives him a reason in a sense.
