I'm glad to see Kira introduced as an ultimate goal for the protagonists. I've enjoyed the more one-off stories, but an overarching sense of direction is also welcome. Kira is such an effective villain because he breaks the mold. The worst Morioh has had to offer to this point are selfish individuals who would take advantage of others for personal gain. They'd take your money or hurt you, or steal pages from your face (you heard me), but they're not out to kill just for the sake of it. But Kira- he's a remorseless murder who kills for its own sake.
I said he breaks the mold, but you could also say Kira is a lot like other characters. Kira's just a regular citizen of Morioh whose lifestyle has been juiced up by the addition of a stand. The thing is that Kira just so happens to be a serial killer. But like Tonio or Rohan, he just wants to go about his stand fueled lifestyle in piece.
As much as a love the addition of Kira, it does throw a wrench into the flow of Diamond is Unbreakable. Josuke, Okuyasu, and Sigechi's get rich quick scheme is plenty of fun. But the whole time I'm reading this, in the back of my head I'm thinking "Really, Josuke? You're dicking around when you know Kira's on the loose". It's a tough situation. I'm tempted to say that we should just get all of the fun stuff taken care of before Kira is introduced. That way I as a reader can focus on the lighthearted fun without having more important stuff in the back of my mind. But I also wouldn't want Kira to be introduced at the end of the story. I want Kira introduced early, but I also don't want the gang to goof off while Kira is looming. It's a tough situation. Maybe some throwaway lines about Rohan and Jotaro working on the case while Josuke's out being a kid would've help.
But overall, it's not a big deal. I can usually put my concern aside. Shigechi's harvest was fun. Okuyasu and Josuke being greedy kids is always amusing. As was the back and forth of the lads using Shigechi and vice versa. Reminds me of Ed, Edd, and Eddy, of all things. Anyway, the scene at the bank stands out as one of funnies in Diamond is Unbreakable. The way everybody is trying to screw everyone else out of the money, even down to the banker, had me intrigued the whole way through.

¡Paciencia, mis queridos Jojos! Sé que los abandoné a mitad del tomo pero en breve los retomo.
UPDATE: Finito, ahora sí. La verdad que lo promedio con tres por la misma razón por la que lo he hecho con tomos parecidos: está muy bueno, pero palidece frente a otros tomos. Cómo sigue el asunto de la chica fantasma me parece genial, aunque no le hayan dado ningún cierre todavía. Pero la historia de Shigeshi, que ocupa la mayor parte del tomo, se me termió haciendo larga, pese a que la idea en sí está buena y a que Shigechi seguramente se termine haciendo querer. Por lo que veo, en el tomo que viene aparece el Big Bad de la Parte 4, así que espero no colgarla ooooootra vez.

3 estrellas.
Nuevamente maratoneando la parte 3 de Jojos.
Por el momento la historia va a un rumbo que parece normal, chicos viviendo cosas de jovenes, por lo tanto todo de mantiene tranquilo.
Josuke me parece muy buen Jojo, y el personaje de Jotaro me parece mejor como un secundario o alguien de apoyo como protagonista. Koichi me parece un buen personaje, incluso me siento en momentos identificado con varios de los personajes.
Okuyasu me parece un poco diferente al inicio cuando se nos presentó, pero es un buen personaje.

今までのジョジョは、基本的に謎が出てきてもすぐに謎か解き明かされてた。
でも、どうやら長いスパンで謎を解明していくスタイルに変えたらしい。
そのため、岸辺露伴が巻き込まれた過去の殺人事件や、腕だけを連れまわす謎の人物というエピソードが解決せずそのまま「日常系エピソード」、つまり仗助達が重ちーというキャラと出会ってお金問題であーだこーだやる、というエピソードが描かれる。
もしかしたら次の巻でこのエピソードの挿入にも意味があると分かる仕組みなのかもしれないけれど、今のところ、「めちゃくちゃ面白そうな話をぶった切ってまで描く話なのか？！？！」という感じ。
ただ、ジョジョシリーズでは新鮮な「高校生の日常」的エピソードで、微笑ましくはあある。
（今まではジョナサンもジョセフも承太郎も、学生的じゃなかったからな。）
とりあえず、岸辺露伴が主役のスピンオフが生まれるのが分かるくらい、岸辺露伴のスタンドは面白い。
（あと、「殺人事件」の現場の建物もエンパイアスタイル（多分。それとも、クイーンアンスタイル？）で素敵だし、幽霊が出てくるのも私好み。）

Awww hemos sido testigos de la primera borrachera de un Joestar, en este caso de Josuke :3
Es en momentos en los que Josuke se pone a trazar planes demasiado beneficiosos usando trampas que me recuerda a su papá ♥ Dicen que Josuke saco el mal caracter de su madre, pero siendo honestos le veo más parecido a Joseph xD

4.5/5 I am curious what happened to the ghost mystery in this one. It seemed like it started and disappeared. Aside that, this was a fun volume. Even though the main story was put on hold, it had great pacing.

La historia del fantasma es buenísima, muy interesante, entretenida, con toques de terror a la vieja andanza. Pero la pelea de Harvest es ingeniosa, pero me irrita tanto el personaje que hubiera preferido omitir que ni siquiera sirve la pelea.

The story still doesn’t make any since but it’s quite exciting and intriguing 🤔😻😁💕💕

For Reimi Sugimoto and Shigekiyo Yangu I added the forth star. They are really two of the best written character in this franchise!

This was so much fun. Loved this volume! (Also, Shigechi really pisses me off.)

2.5 - Que personagem HORRÍVEL esse Shigechi. Pelo menos teve um pouco do Kira.
June 11, 2025
J'espère que l'histoire du tueur de Morio va mener à un fil rouge, c'était intéressant.
Un peu longue, par contre, l'aventure avec Harvest.

Memes in this volume:
There he is...
Josuke mentions shoes in this one so I think it's an appropriate time to introduce Shoesuke
I also think it's a good time to introduce Oi Josuke, another one of my favorite Jojo meme formats
Okuyasu calls two different moms hot, meanwhile Kakyoin is the primary subject of the MILF hunter jokes?
I love this gif :)
ANOTHER ICONIC DUWANG MOMENT
Let's also just appreciate this scene in the anime
What's better than this, justgays guys being dudes?

April 5, 2015Otro Jojo al que le daría... salvo por ese peinado espantoso. Espero poder leerme esta generación antes de que la adapten al animé, así me dejan de discriminar como fan de cuarta hora :P
