Cba to review every volume so this review is for the entire part。A wild journey with some great mystery and tons of intrigue， characters you get invested in and very entertaining fights and character interactions。 Unfortunately， it doesn't quite stick the landing and while it manages to have a satisfying ending， there are still a few plot threads left unpulled。 Cba to review every volume so this review is for the entire part。A wild journey with some great mystery and tons of intrigue， characters you get invested in and very entertaining fights and character interactions。 Unfortunately， it doesn't quite stick the landing and while it manages to have a satisfying ending， there are still a few plot threads left unpulled。 。。。more

In classic araki fashion， JoJolion is the most "JoJo" part of them all。 A genius work of absolute absurdity that makes absolute sense in this bizarre adventure。 5/5 as everything by him In classic araki fashion， JoJolion is the most "JoJo" part of them all。 A genius work of absolute absurdity that makes absolute sense in this bizarre adventure。 5/5 as everything by him 。。。more

The start to JoJolion is as weird as ever， but I expect nothing less from Araki。 Very interested to see where the rest of this goes！ Mysteries abound！

All JJBA is assumed to be five-star weirdness and there， Jojolion hangs tight with its kin。 This shit's weird and more so than any part I've watched or read thus far， this shit's lewd too。 Boners， titties， and an extra genital（？？） are mentioned， sometimes shown， and in the case of Josuke， is part of his power set。 It's rare I'm supportive of mangaka perviness， so I didn't care for having a female character exist solely in the nude for a hundred pages， for reasons。 Like， if we must linger here， t All JJBA is assumed to be five-star weirdness and there， Jojolion hangs tight with its kin。 This shit's weird and more so than any part I've watched or read thus far， this shit's lewd too。 Boners， titties， and an extra genital（？？） are mentioned， sometimes shown， and in the case of Josuke， is part of his power set。 It's rare I'm supportive of mangaka perviness， so I didn't care for having a female character exist solely in the nude for a hundred pages， for reasons。 Like， if we must linger here， then I expect male characters to be examined under the same eye。 Of course， that did not happen。 Josuke's booty shot is comedy。 His boner， also uncomfortable comedy。 After eight arcs and several adaptations， no seasoned reader is surprised at this unequal objectification， but for newbies looking for an on-ramp， be warned: if you're sensitive to nudity or juvenile sexual humor， Steel Ball Run may be a better （albeit， flawed） starting point。Otherwise， I found this introduction to be a little slow and underwhelming due to the nature of the antagonist。 I liked the first hundred more than the last for that reason。 。。。more

The first five issues of Jojolion， in my opinion， are peak Jojo's by all means。 I say this as a person who wrote a review praising Phantom Blood vol 3 as one of his favorites for its campy character above all。 It must be said， Araki's time studying great filmmakers and storytellers， such as Hemmingway and Hitchcock， have culminated in the bizarre and intriguing opening to Part 8: Jojolion。 And， in my eyes， cemented it as one of the best introductions to Jojo's as a whole。The first chapter is all The first five issues of Jojolion， in my opinion， are peak Jojo's by all means。 I say this as a person who wrote a review praising Phantom Blood vol 3 as one of his favorites for its campy character above all。 It must be said， Araki's time studying great filmmakers and storytellers， such as Hemmingway and Hitchcock， have culminated in the bizarre and intriguing opening to Part 8: Jojolion。 And， in my eyes， cemented it as one of the best introductions to Jojo's as a whole。The first chapter is all subtle character building and intrigue; I found myself shocked by how well written this was， finding it comparable to my favorite novels in the way it sets up a fantastic character's adventure。 I will say the first volume， as of reading， gave me chills。 Through the protagonist's actions and voice， being excellently juxtaposed， it firmly established his character as a lovable goofball who is deeply depressed and will kill you if you are a threat。 It's honestly amazing， despite how often this juxtaposition is done。Now， while Araki isn't Hitchcock or Hemmingway—a statement many will assume an insult， but I assure you is not—he is an excellent storyteller。 I enjoy Jojo's for what it is within its medium， serialized manga meant to appeal to a general audience。 And because of this fact， I admire his work in this medium， so often filled with boring serialized pulp， and taking Jojo's in a newer direction without losing its bizarre spirit。 。。。more

It was a good book but it confused me a lot， and it was really weird。 Probably the weirdest part out of all the other seven parts， but that doesn't mean it's a bad book。 So far I like all the characters， except Joshu， I will always hate him。 He has a bowl cut with no hair on the sides， and he just annoys me。 Gappy and Yasuho are both good characters though， they are definitely strange， but they're still better than Joshu It was a good book but it confused me a lot， and it was really weird。 Probably the weirdest part out of all the other seven parts， but that doesn't mean it's a bad book。 So far I like all the characters， except Joshu， I will always hate him。 He has a bowl cut with no hair on the sides， and he just annoys me。 Gappy and Yasuho are both good characters though， they are definitely strange， but they're still better than Joshu 。。。more

Wow， I like Jojolion so much already！

A strange take on Diamond Is Unbreakable。 DiU is my favorite Jojo part so I was excited to read Araki’s new take 20 years after the original。 This one is weird as hell， but still keeps the small town mystery vibe。 I really like this Josuke and I really like Yasuho who is just a lil cutie。 The only issue I have is Joshu。 Easily he’s one of the worst characters Araki has ever written and doesn’t deserve his father’s love or a better haircut。Will keep reading though！ If you want to get into Jojo’s A strange take on Diamond Is Unbreakable。 DiU is my favorite Jojo part so I was excited to read Araki’s new take 20 years after the original。 This one is weird as hell， but still keeps the small town mystery vibe。 I really like this Josuke and I really like Yasuho who is just a lil cutie。 The only issue I have is Joshu。 Easily he’s one of the worst characters Araki has ever written and doesn’t deserve his father’s love or a better haircut。Will keep reading though！ If you want to get into Jojo’s this is definitely not where you start。 This is for veteran Jojo’s fans， but if you have watched the anime or faithfully read the manga， give this one a try。 。。。more

So， now that I've had time to re-read JoJolion （I'm caught up but I decided to start over again to clarify stuff I missed or might have forgotten）， it's better the second time around。 It's not as convoluted once you know what's going on and you start being able to string everything together。 Gappy is really interesting， funny and dorky but also has his really intense moments。Since the manga is still ongoing I don't think it's fair to rank it just yet。 However。 I will say its really fun to read a So， now that I've had time to re-read JoJolion （I'm caught up but I decided to start over again to clarify stuff I missed or might have forgotten）， it's better the second time around。 It's not as convoluted once you know what's going on and you start being able to string everything together。 Gappy is really interesting， funny and dorky but also has his really intense moments。Since the manga is still ongoing I don't think it's fair to rank it just yet。 However。 I will say its really fun to read and a lot of interesting and bizarre stuff is going on。 The Stand designs in this part are really cool。 And the whole thing is unique even within the JoJoverse。Anyways， yeah JoJolion is pretty neat。 I'm sorry for doubting you Gappy。 。。。more

This was a fun and satisfying read。 Some of my problems with this series come in the form of minor nitpicks。 Mainly the series suffers from a strong main antagonist。 I only consider this to be a nitpick because part seven Steel Ball Run had the most thrilling and compelling villains in all of the JoJo parts。 I think that this is the first JoJo part to be considered a “romance”， the two main protagonists are absolutely adorable together。 I believe that the author goes out of his way too much to p This was a fun and satisfying read。 Some of my problems with this series come in the form of minor nitpicks。 Mainly the series suffers from a strong main antagonist。 I only consider this to be a nitpick because part seven Steel Ball Run had the most thrilling and compelling villains in all of the JoJo parts。 I think that this is the first JoJo part to be considered a “romance”， the two main protagonists are absolutely adorable together。 I believe that the author goes out of his way too much to pay fan service to the previous JoJo parts and that can be slightly distracting and hinder that story sometimes。 （Callbacks to Diamond Is Unbreakable etc。） I did like how it continued some plot threads from Steel Ball Run however。 Overall not my favorite but far from my least favorite。 Order of the Parts I enjoyed from 1 being my favorite to 8 being my least favorite 1。 Steel Ball Run2。 Stone Ocean 3。 JoJo Lion 4。 Battle Tendency 5。 Diamond Unbreakable 6。 Stardust Crusaders 7。 Golden Wind8。 Phantom Blood 。。。more

Ok， ok， lo ammetto: sul nome “Kira Yoshikage” ho avuto un FORTISSIMO tuffo al cuore。E comunque l’amore sconfinato di Araki per la sua Morio-cho è sempre una cosa bellissima， sono così felice che il sensei sia “ritornato a casa” e adoro già dal primo volume tutta la dinamica del rapporto fra Yasuho e Josuke。Certo che la storia delle quattro palle è sempre esilarante， RIP。

JoJolion isn’t finished yet。 But wow。 Just wow。 Araki’s never fails to make us laugh and cry all at once and JoJolion is no stranger to that feeling。 I love this part so much and it’s gotten really good。 While I’m sad to see it end I’m anticipating that final battle about as much as I was hyped up for Avengers: Endgame。
