Fondest Farewells

Here we are folks, comic number 500, and the last comic of the entire series. I started working on Persona 4TW in February of 2010, and it feels so weird to me two years later to see it completely finished and on display here.
I want to give another big special thanks to everyone who supported and read the series. You guys have been awesome.
To talk a bit about this comic some, for some reason I always knew I wanted that to be the last line of dialogue in the comic. Whenever I saw the party members watching the train go out of sight, I just thought it would have been hilarious if someone had said that. The MC is still wearing the bracelet he got from Rise, ‘cause like I said, I like that they have a real relationship throughout the comic, and the little detail of him looking at this photo on his iPod instead of an actual photo is something I’m incredibly proud of. He's been randomly playing with it all series, I thought it'd be a nice touch to have it go out with some meaning. Teddie holding the sign always made me laugh, and the ? is obviously for when/if I do comics for P4:A or P4:G
Now that the series is over, you should all check out Persona Won, which follows the events of the very first game in the series

For now…good bye Persona 4TW. You were a lot of fun.
Also, for anyone who wants to hear about news, updates, and just random bits into what I'm up to, remember to Like the official Strain42 Comics page on Facebook.

I'm always reminded of this now whenever I see that scene. And I love Naoto.

Well... I read all of your comics in just a few days, and it just compelled me to make an account, even though I do not usually make myself known in media with the usage of public profiles. You made indeed a very good work, and completely made me laugh with your comics, despite the fact that it seems that you don't like me a lot (Given all evidences and clues that actually either you hate me or thought of me as a good character to portrait as the excluded). But I can see your reasons for that, and all I can say is that I am much obliged you made this. So... Thank you. And yes... I hated that guy.

Earthshattering announcement on April Fool's Day, eh? Riiight.. Gosh I can't believe this is over. I feel so sad and nostalgic. It sure was good. Congrats Strain, you've achieved an awful lot. : ) The future can only get better, right?

Your comics did inspire me to change myself. Because you did P3FTW, that inspired me to think, I could change myself, but it your persona comics that helped me with the final push. Thanks to that, I have became a better and happier person then I was last year. So thank you Strain ^_^

Wow, eagerly waiting for April 1st! Two years man, two years gone so damn fast! Thanks for this great ride!

Congrats on your comic!

I have been reading the FTW series since the very beginning of P3FTW and I have to applaud you for making these comics so damn funny. It has been an amazing ride and I really can't wait to hear more about your future comic plans, but for now, I'll go back to re-reading Raidou Kuzunoha the 19th for the 7th time this month XD

Hmmm, April 1st, eh? Well, I see no reason to be suspicious...

How delightful. It has been quite a long run, and one I truly enjoyed. Strain, you really managed to make P4TW amazing, just like P3 FTW. For that, and for all the laughs you provided me with, I really thank you. I shall now wait for your updates. May peace be with you, and congratulations for all the sublime work.

Ah... wonderful. Thank you Strain. I know I said it last time, but I'm gonna say it again. Thank you, very much. :)

Such a sweet and happy ending <3

Naoto... why so angry?

In the real Final pic, Yukiko looks kind of sad. I dunno, I based my assumption that Yukiko is the canon lover from there. Anyways, you should make it a wallpaper, like P3:FTW shrine scene.

Oh Naoto, you sourpuss! XD
