OK, you are probably all wondering where the letters for yesterday and today have been. Well, seeing how I have recently realized that I am using a lot of information in these letters that the majority of English-speaking fans has no access to, I have decided to share with you one of my primary sources that I refer to for questions regarding the inner working of the current Persona Universe:
Enter the “Persona 3 Club” Book (ペルソナ倶楽部 - P3 - Persona3). This book was released in December 2006, just a few months after the initial release of Persona 3. It is often mistakenly referred to as an “Artbook”, but this couldn’t be further from the truth.
In reality, the first chapter of this book is a recap of Persona 1, Persona 2: Innocent Sin and Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, commented by Kazuma Kaneko. The majority of the following chapters contain character profiles of all of Persona 3’s characters and a collection of selected fanart and fanfic regarding the Main Characters, as well as the occasional Yonkoma.
However, what’s most interesting and relevant to me is the last chapter of the book. Pages 174 to 207 form the “World Guide Q&A”. This section, written by an Atlus Staff Member, reveals a lot of important backstory and supplementary information regarding the inner workings and rules of the current Persona Universe, especially regarding Nyx, Deities, Shadows, Plumes of Dusk, and much more. The Information given in this “World Guide” chapter is definitely canon. This is proven by the fact that, though this book was published in 2006, many of the concepts first mentioned in it have since implemented into the games. It indirectly explained Erebus before there was a P3FES, the Shadow Selves before there was a Persona 4, and a lot of information quickly dumped onto us in Ultimax actually originated from this book as well (and was also much better explained in it.) It can thus be assumed that Persona 5 is probably going to be using concepts from it as well.
Seeing how the “World Guide Q&A” is written in a dialog-style which fits quite well with the format of the letters on this blog, I’ve decided to translate it in the same way I’m writing letters for this blog, using sprites instead of names to indicate who is speaking. Aside from that, this is an absolutely authentic translation of the book’s contents, as far as my abilities allowed it, and I am paying great attention to not mistranslate anything that is said, so this translation will be usable as a reference for the Fandom
That said, enough with the introductions! Follow me under the cut to take a look at facts about the Persona Series that were never officially released for an English-Speaking audience! Have fun and enjoy! ♪

Questions covered in this Part:
Q: Could you tell me what Nyx really is, bluntly and unpoetically?
Q: What exactly is this “Fall” that Nyx was going to bring?
Q: What are Shadows?
Q: What does it concretely mean “To be eaten by Shadows”?

The Characters & Such Official Guidebook was released mid-April 2019 as a guide for all things related to MP100 season 1 & 2. The guidebook also includes interviews with the voice actors of the main five characters (Mob, Reigen, Dimple, Ritsu, Teru), followed by interviews with Director Tachikawa, Series Coordinator Seko, Character Designer Kameda & finally with ONE himself.
Contains a bunch of interesting trivia and conversations (eg. Tachikawa and Kameda looked at fan art before they began the anime, an alternative past for Reigen was once considered, plenty of references to S3 & broccoli arc.) This is a pretty long read, so please enjoy!

how canon is it that L dislikes being touched? I've seen it mentioned a few times and I think it might be in the how to read but the how to read also has a few contradictions to canon. all I can remember without rereading the whole manga is that he definitely touched light during the yotsuba arc... does he actually dislike people aside from light touching him or is it a fanon thing?
Hello!
L's true feelings are usually left pretty ambiguous and up for interpretation for most things, and much of the time all the audience can do is guess about it based on his behaviour and his body language. He doesn't make physical contact with anyone in the manga too often, so it's pretty easy to remember the rare moments when he does. I personally don't really see him as completely touch averse, though he probably also isn't that used to physical contact with others. He might just be acting more reserved due to the specific circumstances of the Kira investigation, too. We must remember L is mostly interacting with everyone in canon either as their colleague/boss or because they are his suspect, so it is hard to know if he would behave differently in different circumstances. But he doesn't seem to balk at casual things like shaking hands with Light after the tennis match, for example:
Nor about slyly snagging Misa's cell phone from her back pocket (and maybe goosing her on purpose at the same time):
The other main instances I remember of L being touched are:
-When Aizawa grabs his shoulder during Misa's first broadcast. L appears to be distressed and to shy away from it/fold in on himself more, but this is possibly just due to the stressful nature of the scene or because Aizawa was being fairly aggressive about it:
-When Misa kisses him on the cheek and grabs his hand to dance. He appears to get a bit flustered, but he is also still making ironic jokes about their "friendships" (I think he is being sarcastic for the vast majority of this scene), so make of that what you will:
-When Light fist-fights with him, and when Light grabs him by the shoulders to make important points to him:
L is never the one to physically start the violent altercations with Light, but he isn't shy about fighting back with all his might either. And I think he might even purposely antagonize Light into these fights sometimes with his insulting words as well, but it's not something that we know for sure.
-There is also a moment in the manga where L grabs Matsuda's hand to stop him from telling Light the truth when he is in confinement:
-And a moment where L leans on Light's shoulder in a genuinely friendly way when they're making a breakthrough in the case:
I think the anime also added a few quirks to L regarding his physical contact with others. The anime put in a scene of him shyly tugging on Light's shirt sleeve to get his attention, and a scene of him looking lustfully at Misa's TV commerical / taking his frustration out on a banana peel, and of course the scene where he gives Light a foot massage on the stairs. The Relight anime OVA also showed L wiping his hand clean after shaking hands with Light, which I thought was a bit too campy/unsubtle for him, more like something Beyond Birthday would do 😆
Overall I think it's easy to interpret him either way about this stuff, but in the manga I don't find he comes off particularly phobic about it. He is probably a bit shocked and suspicious about affectionate gestures from his suspects, and he is defensive when being touched aggressively, and civil when being touched civilly. None of his reactions are unusual considering the context of the interactions, and he doesn't appear to think twice about the little ones he instigates like handshakes or shoulder pats, either.
