Aniplex of America describes the story of the television series based on Atlus' role-playing game:
Ren Amamiya is about to enter his second year after transferring
to Shujin Academy in Tokyo.
Following a particular incident, his Persona awakens, and together with his
friends they form the “Phantom Thieves of Hearts” to reform hearts of corrupt
adults by stealing the source of their distorted desires.
Meanwhile, bizarre and inexplicable crimes have been popping up one after
another...
Living an ordinary high school life in Tokyo during the day, the group
maneuvers the metropolitan city as Phantom Thieves after hours.
Let the curtain rise for this grand, picaresque story!
The 26-episode
