How to Start Shinjiro's Social Link

Only Available for the Female Protagonist in P3P

You can only start Shinjiro's Social Link if you chose the female protagonist in Persona 3 Portable. If you chose the male protagonist, the Hierophant Social Link will be Bunkichi and Mitsuko, the elderly couple that owns the bookstore at the Iwatodai Strip Mall.

Since the male Protagonist is the only one in Persona 3 Reload, a Social Link with Shinjiro is not possible. However, your friendship as well as his character will grow on their own as you progress through the story.
