[Baba · Rating 2 out of 5]

So this is one of the most read manga, Jojo's Bizzare Adventure; and on that basis I dove in and read the entire first part which is five volumes, and for me 990 pages! The reason I have reduced the number of books I read over the last weeks is my struggle to finish this manga! Hands up first, I struggle with almost any supernatural themed book, and this story of Jojo and his battle with an arch rival empowered by a mystical stone mask sounded OK at first but with zero character development, lots of basic story exposition, little rationale for character actions, toxic masculinity and to me, pretty poor art (check out this book's cover), the biggest surprise is that I managed to give this one 4 out of 12, Two Stars. I will not be reading the rest of the series where each part features a descendant of Jojo who has the same nickname and some sort of empowered adversary. Any Manga fans reading this, I beg you to recommend me a book that appeals to someone like me that thought Gantz was great. Thank you in advance. :)

Primer arco de Jojo. Una historia clásica del mal contra el bien con algunos personajes la mar de interesantes y bizarros, gore y humor. Sobretodo cuando veia esos personajes con nombres de grupos heavies como speedwagon ,zeppeli o styx. El dibujo es una pasada. Si te gusta el puño de la estrella del norte esto te encantará.

I wish I could actually make it a 3.5. The illustration is incredible as per usual for Hirohiko. Maybe this is me unused to the typical manga style, but the storyline just became utter madness toward the end. Outside of the main arc with Kira it felt like characters were being rushed and thrown in for the sake of it and that certain plot points were not given justice. Kira as a character in and of himself is super fascinating to begin with but he becomes more and more exasperating to read toward the end of the series, especially during/after Another One Bites the Dust. He was already OP before, but the tertiary ability was over the top. The anime has been great so far, and the manga was overall fun (and fast, naturally) to read.

Pack de Phantom Blood con los tres tomos que incluyen los 43 capítulos más textos extra.
En la primera edición japonesa se había editado en 5 tankoubon.

Pensaba reseñar estos soushuuhen recién cuando me terminara los sesentipico de tomos de Jojo's que me faltan y pudiera hacer una relectura íntegra desde el comienzo de todas las generaciones. Pero como por ahora parece poco probable y hace no tanto vi los animés (el nuevo que abarca Phantom Blood y Battle Tendency y los OVAs viejos que adaptaban Stardust Crusaders), y de todos modos este material ya lo tengo leído en los "tankoubons", van reseñas genéricas hasta que se dé el milagro de conseguir estos tomotes y pueda incluso ownear sus respectivas copys.

My cousin recommended this series to me a few years ago. It’s not like I hadn’t heard of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure or the legendary status it holds in the world of manga. However, I never really got around to reading it because of its length. But then, my cousin told me that JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is broken into separate parts, each following a different JoJo who’s a descendant of the same Joestar family.

This one bit of detail changed everything. It meant there were very clear points in the series I could take a break, and come back when I’m ready to continue. So, after years of putting this off, I finally dove in. And what an absolutely absurd story this was!

Note: this is an ongoing series. Even with the series divided into parts, there is an overarching narrative, so this review will mostly just focus on Part 1: Phantom Blood (the complete arc, chapters 1-44).

SPOILERS AHEAD!

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 1 Phantom Blood by Hirohiko Araki
What I liked:

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is really that. It’s about JoJo who, owing to misfortune and circumstances, ends up embarking on an Adventure that is—and I cannot stress this enough—Bizarre. I mean, imagine having to fight your adopted brother’s henchman who ends up being a zombified Jack the Ripper, with the help of a magical ‘ripples’ technique that your Italian sailor mentor has taught you—one he learned from a Tibetan master so he could track down an ancient Aztec mask that turns the wearer into a vampire; also, your adopted brother has turned into a vampire by using said mask. I’m going to stop right here, because I think I’ve spoiled enough. And yet, not really.

Vampires, zombies, reanimated legendary knights (fictional), and so much more. That’s what’s in store for you in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part1: Phantom Blood.

I don’t have a lot to say about the characters, because they mostly felt one-dimensional. However, their caricature behavior, coupled with the quirky awesomeness of their fighting styles really made for some interesting manga panels. JoJo (Jonathan Joestar) is your typical manga protagonist; he’s an idealist, a true gentleman who will always fight for what is right, and an optimist to a fault. But honestly, JoJo was my favorite character of the lot. I did end up rooting for him, especially in the second half where he’s trained with Zeppeli and is really coming up as a true warrior ready to fight against Dio’s evil schemes.

To be fair, the plot is pretty straightforward. Greedy man with no values ruins his life, and that of his wife and child. On his death bed, he reveals that a rich noble owes him a favor, and sends his son to live with that rich noble. However, the son has a very clear plan in mind: steal everything and make it his own, doesn’t matter if other lives are destroyed in the process. There’s little rhyme or reason to Dio Brando’s cruelty other than he was raised cruel by a greedy, seedy father. But, that sort of makes sense. It’s a little too basic a reason, but it does lead to some crazy conflicts.

Reseña de D. Maula para su blog "Viviendo Jojo":
http://viviendo-jojo.blogspot.com.ar/...

Nuevo formato para el manga y "Jojomenon"
Actualizo para mostrarte un par de publicaciones relacionadas con Jojo que he recibido hoy y que quizás despierten tu interés.
Una de ellas, la de derecha, la compré sin saber exactamente qué era.
Como no hay mucho merchandising de Phantom Blood y no era caro, decidí arriesgarme. Pues bien, se trata de la primera parte del manga, completa, en un único tomo de 900 páginas. El tamaño y grosor recuerdan los Shonen Jump y otras revistas de comics japonesas, pero aunque el papel es muy delgado, no lo es tanto ni de tan baja calidad como en aquellas y la impresión es mucho mejor. Además, todas las páginas son blancas, excepto las que se publicaron a color o en gamas de grises y naranjas, que se han editado con sus colores originales en este volumen.
Como añadido, en las primeras páginas aparecen los diseños a color del anime.En resumen, con esta edición, las personas que no habían leído el manga y tras ver el anime, sientan curiosidad, tienen ahora la oportunidad (obviamente, si saben japonés) de iniciarse en la lectura de una forma más rápida y económica. Por otro lado, las páginas son más grandes, por lo que se aprecian mejor los dibujos, y no podemos olvidar el aliciente de las páginas a color.

On top of being a fantastic gothic mystery novel in manga form, JJBA part one deconstructs a number orientalist tropes therough an absurd mixture of genres and an appropriation of western forms ranging from Renaissance statuary to classic rock, and of course the gothic novel.

[Index Purga · Rating 5 out of 5]

Edición en formato grande (equivalente a una Shonen Jump) con la totalidad de Phantom Blood más extras.
