Persona 3 Reload has a pretty hefty list of Social Links. One of its most popular involves Akinari Kamiki, a young man cursed with a frail body whose days are numbered. He has the heart of a poet, and an emotionally compelling journey we can't help but treasure.

PostsUnlocking Kamiki's Sun Arcana Social Link is half the battle. The requirements are no steeper than others that require you to reach a certain rank in a separate one beforehand, but the timing can be tricky. Here's everything you need to do to unlock it - and the best things to say to the guy.
This guide is a work in progress!
How To Unlock The Sun Social Link
There are three things which must be done before you can commence the Sun Social Link with Akinari Kamiki. This is more than most. One involves an availability date, which is par for the course. You'll also need to advance in a separate Social Link until you've met him, and find an item for him.
Meet Maiko And Reach Hanged Man Rank Three
To begin with, you must meet Maiko, the Hanged Man Social Link, at Naganaki Shrine. We have a complete guide for Maiko, and fair warning, hers is also among Persona 3's best. This is when you'll meet Akinari, but you'll need to wait a while longer before you see him again.
Find Akinari At Naganaki Shrine
Following the important Maiko event, you must wait until August 9th before the earliest date you'll find him at the Naganaki Shrine again. This time, he's on his own, but he has a bit of a conundrum: he's misplaced his Fountain Pen. We'll need to do something about that.
Fetch The Pen From Koromaru
Wouldn't you know it, but Koromaru has the Fountain Pen. You can return to Iwatodai Dorm, ask our canine buddy for it, and bring it back to Akinari. You can do so on the same day, which you totally should!
From hereon out, Akinari will be at Naganaki Shrine on Sundays during the daytime. Note that this intersects with Maya, Hermit Social Link. On the bright side, you'll have had plenty of time to advance several ranks with her by this point!
How To Rank Up Akinari Kamiki's Social Link
The Sun Arcana plays host to a tempestuous examination of a dying young man's complicated feelings. Here's how to help him out as quickly as possible.
You're given dialogue choices during the initial meeting with Akinari after retrieving his pen, but your answers don't affect affinity.
