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.

Freaky plant people, a green baby, a pineapple shaped obedient yet violent stand, a man who has his legs turned into springs and another whose ribs bite someone, this volume was off the rails. The story has hit its stride in this volume. I'm also really hoping this isn't the end of F.F., they were my favorite.

Part 6 is picking up a bit more by now imo, which is good. The Green Baby is an interesting new development, and most of the stand battles in this volume were fairly good - however, Anastasia just seems to win the fights out of nowhere sometimes tbh with his 1000 IQ plays ig. Still, a fun enough volume, and I’m glad Part 6 is finally starting to make some headway with the plot.

- 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.

[Grace Dolbow · Rating 4 out of 5]

F.F has realized something. Living is more than being alive, it’s making memories

Reject priests, return to plankton

[Marla Hectic · Rating 5 out of 5]

I just LOVE this universe

[ShionS3 · Rating 5 out of 5]

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.

[Fugo Feedback · Rating 4 out of 5]

Otro gran tomo de acción y transición promediando la mitad de la serie.
Según la descripción, en el pabellón disciplinario a Jolyne "la esperan cuatro sicarios enviados por el padre Pucci, que fuera alguna vez amigo de Dio". Sí, claro, amigos.
