Eternal Punishment one....? I only know of two Persona manga series, myself:
Persona Be Your True Mind by Ueda Shinshuu, which I like a lot (follows the game storyline closely besides being amusing...I love the author notes. One note, for example, is how the mangaka played a bit of the US version of Persona 1 and thought the girls' voices were screechy and couldn't get over Nanjou being blonde. XD She named her Main "Edward," FWIW.) This manga has a set of color pages for each volume, 8 volumes long, oversized.
Checking out the Animebooks.com site, I find three Persona Manga.
One is "Persona 2 Comic Anthology Special"... It's described as being 178 pages, B&W, and there's Maya (several Mayas, in fact), Tatsuya and Artemis on the cover. Underneath the kanji there's "persona 2 innocent sin&eternal punishment comic anthology special."
Then there's "Persona 2 Eternal Punishment." 180 pages, B&W with two color inserts. Picture of the main players (and Maia) on the cover.
Lastly there's "Persona 2 Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment." 180 pages, B&W. On the cover there's Maya, Tatsuya (in school uniform?), Artemis, and Hyperion...?
And at $12-13 each, not a bad price, I should think...
Doujinshi anthologies are a whole different bag of peanuts. Or personae. You get the idea. >D
What those are, basically, are short doujinshi stories (ten, twenty pages each?), and they're usually of pretty high quality. Damnit, I know I own at leas one of the volumes you describe above, but I forget what's in it... Most of the stuff in there is comedic, with the occasional more emotional bit.
I really enjoy the anthologies, but I wouldn't recomend them if you're not at ease with Japanese-- they'll make no sense otherwise, and there are absolutely no translations for those on the internet. :D
Yup, bell's right. I have all three anthologies you're talking about, and those are doujinshi (fan-comic) anthologies - rather than an actual manga series. The anthologies are official releases, but they're mostly gag/serious short stories, and since they're humorous, it helps to understand the punchlines. :D
