Narrative wise, I recommend Persona 4: Imagine weebish Scooby-Doo. Still, it does have some caveats:
As others have said, it’s LONG. Like the first hour or two is just the game in visual novel mode pretty much.
Kanji is closeted LGBT, and his “Shadow” (the enemies in the game.) is literally a hodgepodge of homophobic stereotypes. I get that’s what internalized homophobia feels like but it can be triggering. Yosuke also gives Kanji shit for it.
If you like it, I recommend a New Game+ as its very hard, if not impossible to do everything in a single run.
Don’t feel guilty about looking up school questions or ingredients for lunches. The game is from a Japanese POV so there will be some questions alluding to Japanese history, and some “challenging” questions will be total gimmies for us westoids.
