La straordinaria capacità di farmi piangere per Jotaro Kujo.

[Radwa]

- this almost all-female cast is refreshing for Jojo.
- I really want to understand the practical use of "freway thru hell"!
- Do I really understand how that disc stand works? not really, but it's certainly new.
- of course, a debt collector in prison.

so much heart, so much fun, so much camaraderie, and sooo much more gruesome than previous jojos. between a stand user’s power being mirrored suicide and a colony of planktons forming a whole new being, a stand in and of itself, everything feels so fresh and exciting, like seeing stands for the first time (shoutout stardust crusaders). even the gambling arc doesn’t feel like a lazy rehash of araki’s penchant for gambling-related stands. jolyne makes it entirely her own while it still being an echo of her father’s old adventure. truly some of araki’s best as he moves away from the hodgepodge of blurry flying fists and machismo of previous jojos eras.

Como es posible que jojos se ponga mejor a cada tomo? Estoy en época de escuela nivel hard(exámenes y entrega de trabajos) Y NO ME CONCENTRABA PORQUÉ ESTABA RE ENGANCHADA! NECESITABA MAS Y MAS! AH!
No tengo ni la más remota idea de a donde irá la historia pero no me importa uwu
Es el ejemplo perfecto de lo que importa es el camino.

It’s an alright read, I think I’m just still burnt out on Jojo’s tbh. Took me multiple days just to read this one volume😭 also, some of the stands have been kinda plain, and I’m not super into the story so far imo. Still, Part 6 is aight so far.

Uff. Los nervios que he pasado no tienen ni nombre. UF.
Siempre pienso que no van a contarlo, es cada vez más intenso con cada temporada, yo creo.

Foo Fighters is the greatest literary creation since Sherlock Holmes.

[Rumper Stump]

An incarcerating belter

[Al Capwned]

Not as good as the first volume of this part but still pretty cool and tense.

[Grace Dolbow]

“You’ve always been important to me.” 😭

[ronne torment]

Me ha encantado volver a ver a Jotaro.Este Tomo me ha gustado mucho y me ha parecido brutal sobretodo el final .Este Tomo ha sido la introducción al conflicto de la parte VI de jojos,simplemente sensacional

[Asiana Circus]

What a fun read. Jojo never disappoints! Filled with action, heart, and style.

*Thank you for the ARC!

[Brenna Bonek]

I was really excited to see Jotaro's entrance into the story and his relationship with Jolyne. I was really surprised to see the iconic "I've always cherished you" panel so early in the story and I was brought to tears when Whitesnake attacked Jotaro and he "died" (?). I'm excited to keep reading, and the fights and story are really good and entertaining so far. Also waiting for Anasui... where is he...

[Fugo Feedback]

Balas más mágicas que las que mataron a JFK, nenes nacidos en cautiverio y un vínculo intrafamiliar que se recrudece. Eso y el dibujo más espectacular que se le viera a Araki hasta la fecha.

Tomo 41 de la relectura "bunkoban" de Jojo's.
