MEGA YIKES

[Mar]

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!!!)

[Radwa]

as usual, love the art, and the mysteries our Josuke is geeting himself into are getting worse and more complicated.
- the connection to steel ball race is very subtle, but at least we know it's taking place many years after the race, and it takes us back to Japan
- thie girl daiya has to be one of the most dangerous opponents

[Reese]

JOSUKE GOT GIRLS ALL UP ON HIM

[Johan Wilbur]

Es que a ver que nota le pones tú al multiverso que se ha marcado Araki en Jojolion. Deseando estoy a ver quién es Dio aquí.

[laios :P]

wwwweeeeird

[Aleksandra]

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.

the art? chief's kiss

[Kiyoyo]

Maravilloso

california king bed is so cute

[AB]

Such a weird story so far.

[Harrison D]

some freaky stuff! - California King Bed stealing Josuke's memories is a very scary ability - the art is gorgeous though and the mystery is building!! love it!

[Brandon]

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.

why is the child doing that

[Daken Howlett]

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.

[Sanny]

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!

[Dani Wladdimiro]

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.

[Elyjah]

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

[Sophia Paul]

still a little lost on what soft and wet really does but look its fun as hell. i love his little star bubbles. and ... we get to meet the Higashikata Family (not my cute little part 4 family) SBR MENTION THO!!! but yeah this family has some fucking weirdos and another cool stand (wdym its named after a RIHANNA SONG) idk I'm REALLY vibing with this part so far. memory loss josuke is just kinda fun

[Ivana]

Hay algo en esta parte que no me termina de encajar, probablemente tenga que acostumbrarme a los personajes y el nuevo caos que llega con ellos. Aún así, la historia me intriga y quiero seguir leyendo.

No voy a mentir la pelea entre Josuke y Daiya ha sido algo incómodo de ver y espero que no sea una constante en la serie

[Gab Andrade]

4 estrellas.

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.

[Kristina Mlinarić]

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.

[Filozofifi]

Araki zrobił bardzo blizzarny fight jojo vs dziewczyna z standem calfornia king bed na lozku Mega duzo tajemnic i podoba mi sie koncept ze razem z glownym bohaterem bedziemy odzyskiwac pamiec czyli dowiadywać sie o fabule a nie ze przyjdzie ktos przyjazny i nam wytlumaczy

[Abbie]

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

[Shabani Kasongo]

California king bed isn't that impressive ...I mean what's so hard about getting a blind girl to step on ur shadow
Loving the plot so far
Josuke is a odd name but whatever

[Kurtis Burkhardt]
