JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 6--Stone Ocean, Vol. 5
A multigenerational tale of the heroic Joestar family and their never-ending battle against evil!
The legendary Shonen Jump series is now available in deluxe hardcover editions featuring color pages! JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is a groundbreaking manga famous for its outlandish characters, wild humor and frenetic battles.
After having finally met up with F.F. and Anastasia, Jolyne and the gang continue their escape from the disciplinary wing and track down the bone. But things go from bad to weird when they run across a scene of madness where other prisoners have been drained to husks, infected by a mysterious plant-form that gives birth to a strange green child. Jolyne accidentally ends up infected by the plant’s odd power, and is unable to stand in sunlight, or else she, too, will meet the same fate as the other prisoners. Luckily, Joylene and company meet a lonesome Stand who seems to be more than happy to help them escape via boat…Ya-Ya Ma.

more could have been done in jotaro and jolyne’s chapter. hearing a random juvie officer/child psychologist from the 90s explain abandonment issues kinda takes the wind out jotaro’s subconscious message to jolyne.
f.f is such a trooper. there’s something so desperately human about them that i keep forgetting they are a colony of planktons, a community of individuals. the idea that a community could be so united to lock onto one purpose, their desire to maintain their identity, their place in the world, and how far they’re willing to go to help someone else because they accept them as they are. until the end, they think of jolyne. empathy is the highest display of intellect.
anastasia is a refreshing male character for sure. i don’t think this can be read without keeping in mind that anastasia was originally supposed to be a woman, and he was drawn as such in chapter 24, and was suddenly a man when he confesses that he’s in love with jolyne. flamboyant masculinity is nothing new in araki’s work, but anastasia deviates from this convention with his original gender in mind: the new anastasia is instead flamboyantly “feminine”, with the changes as well as what was kept from his original design (but still masculine, these are not mutually exclusive). anastasia is more compelling as a non-cishet man/a lesbian in this way; he/him pronouns don’t negate that. and i don’t care that he’s obsessed and doesn’t maintain personal space and is 6 years older than jolyne—i’m getting my lesbian love one way or another.
chapters:
enter the drake’s dream, pt 6-7
jotaro and jolyne, father and daughter
birth of the “green”, pt 1-2
ya-ya ma is coming, pt 1-5
f.f.—the witness, pt 1-2
awaken, pt 1-4
pale snake—the hunter, pt 1-2

- hell no!
- I'm pretty sure a dillemma will happen when jolyne discovers the identity of the green baby
- I won't deny that FF's efforts were legendary

The story keeps going in the typical JoJo formula after all. Not a big fan.

Bueno, tremendo cliffhanger al final. A esperar otro mes para ver qué pasa. Eso sí, el tema gore sigue escalando. Los guiños a ocurrencias reales con sectas han estado bastante bien.
Anasui es... Peculiar.
