Este tomo mejora un poco, tenemos la continuación del enfrentamiento contra Red Hot Chilli Pepper (en serio no puedo con el nombre de ese stand) y esta vez es Josuke quién lo enfrenta。 Me gusta que estos enfrentamientos son estratégicos como lo solían ser desde Battle Tendency。 Los poderes de los stands de esta saga están aún más locos y requieren que los personajes de verdad piensen cómo van a derrotarlos。 La batalla de Josuke contra este stand es buena y en varios momentos pensé que el resulta Este tomo mejora un poco, tenemos la continuación del enfrentamiento contra Red Hot Chilli Pepper (en serio no puedo con el nombre de ese stand) y esta vez es Josuke quién lo enfrenta。 Me gusta que estos enfrentamientos son estratégicos como lo solían ser desde Battle Tendency。 Los poderes de los stands de esta saga están aún más locos y requieren que los personajes de verdad piensen cómo van a derrotarlos。 La batalla de Josuke contra este stand es buena y en varios momentos pensé que el resultado iba a ser diferente。De ahí tenemos tres capítulos sobre un bebé que se hace invisible que me hizo reír bastante y nos da varios momentos tiernos entre Joseph y Josuke。 Creo que lo mejor de este tomo es tener reunidos a los tres protagonistas de las tres últimas sagas en un sólo lugar。 La relación entre Josuke y Joseph es interesante para explorar y me alegra que aunque poco, lo hizo muy bien el maestro Araki y da ternura ver al padre reencontrarse con su hijo。El final tiene otro enfrentamiento de Koichi contra un mangaka que tiene un poder muy interesante。 No me fascinó que le den tanto protagonismo a Koichi aunque es un personaje que me guste。 Pero casi están alternando un enfrentamiento de Josuke y uno de Koichi como si fuera igual de protagonista que el Jojo de esta saga。 Pero bueno, parece que al final también Josuke lo enfrentará en el siguiente tomo。Me gusta que los poderes de esta saga se estén volviendo cada vez más locos。 。。。more

As always, JoJo's is a good time。 I find myself wishing there was more of a plot reaching across the arcs than gag stands and creatures of the week, but it's all still so solid, funny and creative that I'm more than happy to plod along。 The characters are so strong in Part 4, I feel like that element crossed with a Dio-esque big-bad would go a long way。 Of course, I've kept myself from spoiling future JoJo's parts and am sure there's only greatness ahead。 As always, JoJo's is a good time。 I find myself wishing there was more of a plot reaching across the arcs than gag stands and creatures of the week, but it's all still so solid, funny and creative that I'm more than happy to plod along。 The characters are so strong in Part 4, I feel like that element crossed with a Dio-esque big-bad would go a long way。 Of course, I've kept myself from spoiling future JoJo's parts and am sure there's only greatness ahead。 。。。more

Shigechi’s Harvest is one of my favorite arcs in Part 4。 Josuke and Okuyasu crack me up, and their friendship is among the best in the entire series so far。 Also, the author’s comments at the end of this volume are gold。 Everything about JoJo is so eccentric, and I love it。

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Part 4– Diamond is Unbreakable, Vol。4 comes from the mind of renowned mangaka, Hirohiko Araki。 Published by Viz Media in English, this is the first time American readers can enjoy Diamond is Unbreakable in its full glory。 As a fan, you can tell Viz Media wants to deliver the best experience possible to JJBA fans。 The hardcover features a colored picture of the main characters Josuke, Okuyasu, and Koichi。 Rohan and Jotaro are also displayed。 The entire hardcover is embos JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Part 4– Diamond is Unbreakable, Vol。4 comes from the mind of renowned mangaka, Hirohiko Araki。 Published by Viz Media in English, this is the first time American readers can enjoy Diamond is Unbreakable in its full glory。 As a fan, you can tell Viz Media wants to deliver the best experience possible to JJBA fans。 The hardcover features a colored picture of the main characters Josuke, Okuyasu, and Koichi。 Rohan and Jotaro are also displayed。 The entire hardcover is embossed and glossed over, making it visually stunning。 The spine of the book features a multitude of diamonds to accent the Diamond is Unbreakable arc。 The small attention to detail makes someone like me, a die-hard JoJo fan, squeal with joy。Volume 4 picks up with Koichi being trapped in the house of enemy stand-user Rohan Kishibe。 Rohan is a famed manga writer and resides in Moiroh with Josuke and the gang。 It is revealed that Rohan’s stand, Heaven’s Door, can turn people into books and he can read their entire history through their memories。 This sets up an interesting fight between Josuke and Rohan。 As this fight ensues, it’s clear that Araki does not want to write a stereotypical shonen showdown (think of fights in Dragon Ball Z or Naruto)。 Instead, Araki uses this fight to characterize them all。 Araki’s script for this confrontation gives us insight into Rohan’s innate selfishness and nosiness。 Heaven’s Door lets Rohan intrude on anyone’s secrets and he uses that information as fodder for his manga。 Josuke is further characterized to be a man of honor and care, a foil to Rohan。 Araki provides a nuanced backstory that provides information about Josuke’s hero and inspiration。 It explains why Josuke’s stand, Crazy Diamond, can care for and heal people。JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4 - Diamond is UnbreakableThe rest of the story follows Josuke, Okuyasu, Koichi, and (a now turned good) Rohan on a slew of adventures that keep leading them to the main antagonist of the entire Diamond is Unbreakable arc。 Halfway through this volume, Araki tunes us into why nothing is as it seems in the small and quiet Japanese town of Morioh。 It is revealed that a serial killer is on the loose in this town。 Araki begins to incorporate the standard elements of any small town murder mystery story。 One key character introduces the presence of this murderer and the dangerous underbelly of the town。 Elements of the supernatural like ghosts and poltergeists appear。 Araki begins to draw the town as a little more grimier and unkempt。 The characters discuss the absence of evidence because the killer has been on the loose for 20 years with no one noticing them。 My favorite troupe utilized is the “Hidden in plain sight” for the serial killer。 Araki gives us a morsel of who they are, what their motive is, and what they look like。Diamond is Unbreakable is not the first murder-mystery story, nor will it be the last。 However, volume four does set the tone for the rest of the series in a fun and different way。 With its focus on the strength of the bonds of friendship between Josuke, Koichi, and Okuyasu, Araki maintains a very steady pulse on his atmosphere and tone。 One moment it can feel chilling and spooky but with the characterization established through the Rohan fight from earlier, the switch into normal school boys trying to hang out works seamlessly。 Araki masterfully creates a script that is characterization-heavy, where it still moves the plot forward without skipping out on any exciting action。Like most manga, Araki does all of his artwork and lettering himself。 His grasp on fighting sequences is superb。 Characters’ actions, alongside their stands, move fluidly within panels。 Even without color, the linework is clean and crisp。 Through all of the punching and blood, every shape is still clear and prominent。 Araki’s character designs are too die for。 Each person has a unique outfit that holds symbolism to who they are as a character。 Using Josuke as an example, he wears a peace sign pin on the right side of his school jacket to display how he is the peace bringer to most situations。 The left side of his jacket features a heart pin, showcasing his innate nature as a caretaker and kind person。 His strong care and will develops his stand, Crazy Diamond, that can physically heal anyone (except for himself)。 His well-maintained pompadour is a nod to his hero and how Josuke feels inspired to be as kind as him。 Araki’s grasp on artistic symbolism is unmatched from any other property I know。JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4 - Diamond is UnbreakableDiamond is Unbreakable, Vol。 4 has a lot of memorable character art。 I may not personally love Rohan, but Araki’s usage of high fashion for his character is worth noting。 Like any male character, Araki indulges them in their fashion choices。 Using his script, he often writes dialogue that focuses on how these males want to present themselves to the world。 They care about how they look。 They comment on what brands they like to wear。 Men’s clothing choices are not standard to see or comment on in most typical manga。 This is another way that JJBA (in general) and with Diamond is Unbreakable, Vol。4 sticks out within the world of Shonen。The English translation from Viz is very easy and quick to read。 They chose to keep all of Araki’s original lettering from sound effects。 Being as iconic as ever, his particular style of lettering is bold and chunky。 Choosing to always revolve his robust sound effects around certain characters to either emphasize importance or symbolism, it is difficult to pry your eyes away。 Viz honors Araki’s style choices by making all the words fairly larger and bolder than most manga。 Viz Media wanted to maintain as much authenticity from the original Japanese printing for the western audience。 It is both noted and appreciated。Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Part 4– Diamond is Unbreakable, Vol。4 is a testament to the talent that Araki displays in his art, writing, and lettering。 A multi-faceted mystery story with the theme of powerful friendships at its core, Vol。4 provides well-paced humor and suspense making it a quick and enjoyable read。 Here is a free preview of JoJo’s Diamond is Unbreakable Vol。4。 If you want to learn more about Diamond is Unbreakable, check out the limited edition Part 5 anime set here。Rating: 4。5/5 。。。more

My Rating: 3 starsI’ve never been a huge manga reader, but my nephew enjoys it, so I decided to check out some of the series he’s been into lately。 One of those series is JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, which was originally published in Japan as part of the Shonen Jump magazine series from 1987 through the early 2000s。 There are 8 parts to the series (which apparently continues to be an ongoing series still popular in Japan), though only the first 4 parts have been released in English here in the My Rating: 3 starsI’ve never been a huge manga reader, but my nephew enjoys it, so I decided to check out some of the series he’s been into lately。 One of those series is JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, which was originally published in Japan as part of the Shonen Jump magazine series from 1987 through the early 2000s。 There are 8 parts to the series (which apparently continues to be an ongoing series still popular in Japan), though only the first 4 parts have been released in English here in the United States。 The story revolves around members of the Joestar family, each of whom possesses some type of supernatural ability in the form of a “Stand” that they use to battle a variety of enemies, leading up to defeat of a main villain at the end of each part。When I was browsing Edelweiss earlier this month, I noticed that part 4 -- which is being released in February 2020 by Viz Media (the manga series’ English-language distributor in North America) -- was already available for request, so I figured this would be a good chance to both check out the series and have some quality reading time with my nephew。 Of course, my nephew was excited at the opportunity to finally read the manga version, even though he already knew the entire story due to watching all the video adaptations of the manga that have apparently been out for quite some time already。 This knowledge would actually come in handy, as we soon discovered that the version being published was chapters 57 to 75 of part 4, which is only around 20 chapters out of a total 174 chapters that part 4 is comprised of – so basically, we started reading this somewhere in the middle of one part of the series (volume 4 of part 4 to be exact)。 Without any prior context or knowledge of the series, it probably was not a good idea to start smack dab in the middle like we did, as I ended up completely lost for the first 10 chapters or so – it got a little better halfway through, but much of that was because my nephew explained the story to me as we read and also gave me the background context to each of the characters (when I said earlier that he knew the entire story, I definitely wasn’t exaggerating, lol)。 We did end up getting through the entire volume and my nephew loved it of course, but I wasn’t as keen on it, mostly because this is the type of manga series where the story continues on from one volume to the next, so unless you start at the very beginning (or you’re already familiar with the story like my nephew was), it’s really hard not to muddle through。 I also thought it was way too long -- nearly 400 pages! – though to be fair, as mentioned earlier, I don’t read a lot of manga, so perhaps that is normal length nowadays。 I’m also not a fan of the genre (supernatural fantasy), which I’m pretty sure is the main reason why I found it so difficult to follow the story。 In any case -- with all that said, I decided to rate this 3 stars, as the issue was with me rather than the book itself, plus my nephew did enjoy it even if I didn’t, so I figured this is the fairest way to go。 As for future volumes, I haven’t decided whether I will request the next one when it comes out – it depends on whether my nephew will still be into the series or not by that time, since his interests change constantly from one month to the next。 If he’s still into it, then definitely, I will continue to request and read future volumes with him, though I will be sure to read up on the backstory and the characters first so the experience can be less arduous the next time around!Received ARC from Viz Media via Edelweiss。 。。。more
