ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA
This is the first volume of Jojo that I've picked up to read, having only watched the anime up until this point. LET'S GO FEMALE JOJO! A great first volume for the Stone Ocean arc and I love Jolyne already. (Also how fitting is it that of course Jotaro would punch his own child....)

Me he quedado un poco loca cuando he visto que en la primerísima página figuraba la fecha de hoy (28 de octubre, aunque, por supuesto, no del mismo año)... cosas que pasan, supongo xD
Me hacen mucha gracia los postfacios de Araki. Es un millenial nacido en la época de los boomers xD
Jolyne promete dar bastante caña (infinitamente más que Giorno), en este primer tomo se ha quedado a gusto ya con varias cosas x_D
Me ha dado un poco de ansiedad las injusticias que ocurren y el mundo de jungla que es la cárcel en la que está, pero bueno... Ah, y lo de la rata... uhhh qué asco...
Acaba en un cliffhanger bonico del tó', así que nada, me quedo esperando al siguiente tomo...
Ah, y los pantalones de Jotaro son un tanto cuestionables xD

A new part, let's go!!

- starting the events ith our mc in prison is apparently a recurring theme in jojo.
- it's the first chapter and it's already more vulgar than the previous parts, and i like it
- our new jojo is a woman!! welcome jolyne cujoh!!!
- i like the way she comes to understand stand powers
- those situations are really what makes a mc
- i was waiting for someone to start singing her name: jolyne!!
- what's up with the lawyer's ears?
- Les mis mixed with the count of monte cristo vibes, I'm living for this revenge arc
- Gwess gave me hisoka vibes in the beginning!
- jotaro is here! also the joestar men aren't really good father figures, are they?
- they're really father\daughter
- I'm already loving this part more than the previous one.

Jolyne me intriga pero tengo muchas dudas sobre si me sigo leyendo el manga o espero hasta abril ,a que salga la parte VI🤔

[Natilin Alpaca Saurio · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nada mejor que empezar el año con una gran lectura. Ya desde el primer tomo estoy a los pies de la prota ah, ya me enredó en su red uwu (? Ahre.
Dios, como amo que con cada parte la escritura va mejoran más y más AMO y me gustaron mucho esas "tarjetitas" que te dan de los personajes, ayuda mucho a entender el comportamiento de ellos, que al principio parece aleatorio y muy ...bizarro(seh,debería ser comediante (?) Pero mirándolo desde otro ángulo es completamente comprensible su accionar. Me encanta como todo está muy bien pensado y cuantos misterios aún estaba por rebelarse.
Espero con ansias a que me presten el siguiente tomo.(algún día lo compraré yo :,) espero)











P.s. el malo alto culo tiene (? No tiene nada que ver pero alv que eso está hinchado. Fin del comunicado de vital importancia.

Jolyne è davvero la mia Jojo preferita, lo avevo già capito dall'anime ma rileggendo il manga mi sto innamorando di lei ancora di più. Sarà perché c'è qualcosa nei disegni di Araki che la versione animata della DPro, per quanto buona, non riesce mai a catturare fino in fondo.
Ha ragione il sensei quando dice che Jolyne è la Jojo più indurita dalla vita e più tragica di tutta la genealogia dei Joestar. E in questo primo volume appare davvero come un personaggio molto drammatico, adoro le sue espressioni facciali e amo tutta la mini-saga dedicata a Guess in cui Jolyne incontra per la prima volta il suo Stone Free.
Mi spiace che non ci siano state altre Jojo donne protagoniste, perché Jolyne è stata davvero avanti per i suoi tempi - e sto amando tutto il parterre di personaggi femminili che la circonda - sì, anche e soprattutto quelle più efferate e crudeli come Guess.

[Kakyoin Noriaki · Rating 5 out of 5]

This part made me cry. Jolyne is such a wonderful, captivating character. I love her growth, her toughness and her kindness throughout the whole series!! Her fashion is absolutely incredible as well and when she gets a glow up in the last quarter?? WOWWW love love love. She embodies the whole Joestar bloodline and this part serves as an excellent finale to the first JoJoverse. Every death was compelling despite there being so many and they each made me cry. The stands in this are probably among my favourite and the most creative out of the entire series. "I love you Stone Ocean" we all say in unison.

incrível como faz juz ao nome.

hirohiko araki não se tornou uma lenda em seu meio a toa. sua obsessão por moda, homens bombados e suados, telenovelas e horror gera uma das misturas mais fascinantes que existem na mídia mangá, e a parte 6 nao poderia ser diferente.

de seus protagonistas, jolyne é a mais refinada narrativamente. ela é abrasiva, amarga, vingativa – e também inteligente, espirituosa, compassiva. ver a arapuca em que ela se mete é genuinamente angustiante, ampliado pelo traço sensacional que aqui é quando começou a se tornar referência.

um baita começo, de um baita mangá.

I may be biased, since Stone Ocean is my favorite part of JJBA, but this first volume is astounding! It jumps straight into the action, with iconic stand battles akin to GooGoo Dolls and the introduction of White Snake, and the motivation behind our main character, Jolyne. It masterfully crafts a solid foundation into the part, and is worth the read! It possesses bits of content that were not included in the animated version, so it’s worth your while to see them here.

[Marc · Rating 3 out of 5]

My son was into JoJo's Bizarre Adventure at one point when he was younger and I saw this at the library, liked the cover, and thought I'd give it a try. With almost no exposure to the JoJo world, jumping in the middle like this was a bit odd. Mostly I liked the artwork, although some panels were almost uninterpretable when the action scenes got up close, distorted, and enlarged. Wow. I sound old. I guess I am old.

Story: Meh. Artwork: Appealing. JoJo's Character: Fun.

[Wouter K · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a review for the whole Stone Ocean arc. I really love this story although it has a bit of an 'out there' ending. The fact that the Joestar that we follow is now a woman and the dynamics of a prison setting make it very interesting. As always the creativity of stand powers and battle tactics do not disappoint. I felt the main villains was especially interesting and the character work generally was very good.

[Brenna Bonek · Rating 4 out of 5]

So far, I'm really liking Stone Ocean. For some reason, before starting this, I thought I wouldn't like Jolyne, but I like her a lot. The characters are well written, the art is amazing as always, and I'm really excited for the rest of the main crew to show up and to continue with the series.

[Aurora Bennardo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Per essere un manga é stato un bel mattoncino, ma ne è valsa la pena! La protagonista della sesta parte mi piace molto, anche se non comprendo ancora diverse cose sia di lei che della storia, anche se sono solo al primo volume. Non vedo l’ora di vedere come si evolverà il corso della storia. :)

[Rene Delić · Rating 4 out of 5]

Jolyne je vrhunski protagonist (možda i najbolji u mitologiji obitelji Joestar) i cijeli narativ "Stone Oceana" je dobro koncipiran i izveden. Opraštamo se od voljenih likova i poznatog lorea te se spremamo za nepoznati reboot u obliku "Steel Ball Run" sage.

[gil madrid · Rating 4 out of 5]

Stone Ocean was bold, experimental, and often devastating. Jolyne Cujoh stood out immediately as one of the most compelling JoJos, her rebelliousness and vulnerability grounding the story in a way that felt refreshing. Watching her grow into her role, not just as a fighter but as someone who inherited her family’s legacy, was moving and deeply earned. The Florida prison setting gave the part a claustrophobic tension, with enemies lurking at every corner and Stand battles becoming increasingly psychological and surreal.

What makes Part 6 remarkable is its ending. It is both crushing and beautiful, redefining what closure in a long-running series could look like. While the pacing and sheer strangeness of some fights can feel overwhelming, its ambition cannot be understated. Part 6 is about fate, inevitability, and the resilience of the human spirit even when the universe itself seems to turn against you. It may not be the most polished of the parts, but it left me with a lasting impression that few stories ever manage to achieve.

Avrei dato 5 stelle per i disegni ma meglio tenersi bassi per il resto della storia

[Laura Plaza · Rating 5 out of 5]

Empiezo a leerme los JoJo's con ella y estoy: encantadísima.

[Federico · Rating 5 out of 5]

La sesta serie di Jojo è stupenda, con alcuni dei migliori personaggi mai scritti da Araki. Non fatevi ingannare dalle opinioni contrarie della community di Jojo.

[Alejandro Casanova vázquez · Rating 4 out of 5]

Toca releer mi parte favorita (hasta ahora) de Jojo's. Cuántos problemas se pudo ahorrar Jolyne si hubiera escuchado a Emporio desde el inicio.

Jolyne Cujoh gets framed for someone's death and has to escape a prison with the help of her Father, another JoJo.

[Lara · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ver a Jotaro lo vale todo, pero Jolyne es mi JoJo menos favorita hasta ahora. Procrastiné muchísimo leer Stone Ocean a pesar de tener casi todos los tomos por esto mismo 😑
