I really love the fact that there's a stand called California King Bed. That's queen Rihanna right there!
Also, what's going on with the Higashikatas? Can't wait to know more about this family.
So far, so good.

(PS: I really (!!!) love Josuke!!!)

Daiya Higashikata? we stan
the girl is terrifying and her stand is wow. I don't know her motives and I hope we get more about her in the following volumes.
Yasuho is the best and I love her.

Yasuho is cute, but Daiya likes Yes, so she wins for me. It's interesting to see Araki-sensei do fanservice with cleavage and panties because it's just not common in his earlier manga.

I feel mildly uncomfortable that JoJo has become "contemporary" enough with music references in Stand names, that we have a Stand named after a Rihanna song: [California King Bed]. Weirder still, its Sutando Tsukai is a prog rock fan, while there's little overlap between Yes and Rihanna. In fact, [Owner of a Lonely Heart] would be a great name for Daiya's Stand, since it's a pop song by a prog band, and the name kinda fits thematically. But thematic Stand names are never Araki's priority. Anyway, I guess in a way the Rihanna reference is kinda close enough to the Prince reference of [Soft & Wet] in terms of both being black pop, and my own bias is that I view Prince as more a legitimate "artist" than Rihanna....

Despite Daiya's boobs later in the volume, the peak here is actually every time Josuke tricks Yasuho into looking away so he can kick Ojiro.

[Fun Fun Fun] is probably my favorite Stand design of the few we've seen in this Part. I like California King Bed's doofy smile a lot, too.

Si conclude il primo scontro tra stand di questa ottava parte delle bizzarre avventure di Jojo e inizia il secondo, nel mezzo l'introduzione delle versioni di questo universo di molti volti familiari presi direttamente dalla quarta parte della serie, a cominciare da Kira, e un nuovo sviluppo sul misterio attorno al quale ruota la nuova saga.
Il secondo scontro si presenta in grande spolvero, con una totale concentrazione sugli aspetti strategici del confronto tra i due contendenti e tralasciando quasi completamente la sfera fisica per un confronto di volontà ed intelletto piuttosto interessante, al quale fà da cornice la bizzarra e psicologicamente instabile famiglia Higashikata, che riesce a creare molto rapidamente un'atmosfera di mistero e pericolo costante.
Ottimo inizio, il fatto che Jojo possa mantenersi su livelli narrativi così alti dopo tanti anni non cessa mai di stupirmi.

Muy entretenido!
Araki sabe sembrar muy bien el misterio, y crear preguntas y respuestas que generan más preguntas de forma natural. Además, con el increíble carisma de todos los personajes, es muy fácil querer saber más sobre ellos.

Realmente este autor sabe como hacer lo que hace, y me encanta como de vez en cuando, va dejando trocitos de preceptos de su propia mente y visión en sus obras. Sin duda es una persona muy interesante de la que he aprendido mucho sin darme cuenta, desde que era pequeña.

Genial!

Siento que está muy presente que hemos pasado de Shonen a Seinen, debido que Araki tiene más tiempo para pausar las acciones y reposar las ideas, algo que me sucedió mucho al leer SBR. Por otra parte, siento que era hora de utilizar el componente sexual en Jojos, pero no desde una forma violenta, sino seductora, y pienso que está bien empleado. La historia da muchas respuestas como también muchas dudas, y justamente es la gracia de la trama, ir poco a poco descubriendo con Josuke qué es lo que realmente ocurre en Morioh y hasta donde nos llevará.

Quello che più amo di “Jojolion” è il fatto che sia una slice of life, abbia il ritmo di una slice of life e persino i confronti fra portatori di Stand possono rivelarsi più simili a partite di scacchi che a scontri veri e propri su un campo di battaglia - d’altronde l’uso di regole e limitazioni dei loro poteri rende tutto più affascinante.

E poi, niente, amo Yasuho e adoro Josuke, è uno dei miei Jojo preferiti, anche se con quel vestito da marinaio mi fa pensare troppo a Paperino!

This is more in line with what I was expecting in terms of the weird happenings in town and the mystery hiding beneath the surface. So far I'm enjoying the characters, but find the Higashikata family incredibly unnerving

The art is also very good for what you'd expect, and the stand in this part is awfully creative. I'm intrigued to keep reading

Jojolion, una historia que por el momento no me tiene ni muy emocionado, pero tampoco me tiene indiferente.

En este punto los stands están llegando a un punto diferente a los anteriores, con habilidades curiosas y únicas.

Y como siempre Araki manteniendonos con un clip hanger.

After two volumes I can say that Jojo is still as unpredictable and colorful as usual (in the best of ways of course). It will be hard rereading this in any other version other than the colorized one. :)

I should rename my Spotify Chemical Brothers list to Jojo reading ambient. 🎙️💿

ბევრად მეტს და კარგს ველოდი. იმ ფაზაში გადასვლა სადაც პერსონაჟის 4 კვერცხის გარშემო ხდება ყველაფერი განვითარება არ არის. რკინის ბურთების სირბილამდე არაკი გვაჩვენებდა ყველა ნაწილის შემდეგ როგორ ვითარდებოდა, როგორც მწერალი. ამ ნაწილში კი არც კი ვიცი, ან მე ვერ ვეწევი ან ძალიან დიდი რეგრესი განიცადა.

Something about this part is just not working for me so far. It might be a lack of connection to the characters, like I'm still trying to get a feel for them. The family setup seems intriguing, but the stand "battle" between Josuke and Daiya was mostly awkward and uncomfy.

We're getting into the action, yeah, but incest is bad, Josuke.

Daiya’s stand is so cool but Araki please stop writing women the way you do, especially when they’re underage 🧍‍♂️
