Oh I haven’t read a JoJo book I haven’t liked!
The only thing that made me super uncomfortable was the bath scene with Hayato and Kira.... so strange!

The best book in the arc thus far. Some fun and weird adventures here.

Great volume. The stands here are wild, and while the radio tower arc ran a little long, I am really enjoying the way things are coming together with Kira's subplot. I love Rohan and Koichi and the way their story tied up at the end here really surprised and tickled me. Great art as always, and a fun relationship chart that I appreciated seeing. Excited to reach the end of this part.

Another wild adventure! Rohan is such a great character with fun powers. He’s probably my favorite character from this Part!

- the whole page that illustrates what that man does with his calluses is wild to me
- it feels weird saying this, but i feel like now there's way too many stand users?
- i want that neat paper trick
- after that unnecessary and creepy bath scene, i'm rooting for hayato. go, kid!
- now, I want to see his back too!

So, with my last review of volume 7 being that I was a little underwhelmed and ready for things to speed up… Araki made me eat my words again.
Let’s Live on a Transmission Tower is a great deal of fun. It’s chaotic but for as little screen time as he gets, Josuke steals the scenes he’s in. Super Fly is conceptually a really neat stand - and it made me realize how frickin’ dumb I’ve been. Stands represent their user. Sure. I have neglected that this whole time and just dismissing Stand’s as wacky writing. Super Fly is pretty obvious with this and it reminded me of how that concept plays out and it made perfect sense and revitalized my enjoyment of the series.
Misterioso kicks so much butt dude. Starts fast, keeps pace, ends up being such a wild duel. Convinced Araki writes some of these stands just to boast his artistic skills. Beautiful double-pages throughout this whole book, had to go and reread Misterioso.
My Dad is Not My Dad also made me eat my words - I previously said that the Stray Cat storyline was useless, didn’t amount to anything. Here I am being proven wrong by Hayato pushing the plot forward. Sorry Araki. I trust you. Except, why does there need to be a weird bath/baby scene so often?

Father/Son bath time? WTF?!?! I feel like I need a bath myself to feel clean after reading that scene. That kid is way, way, WAY too old to need help having a bath even if his father wasn't a face changing serial killer.
Disturbing bath time antics aside there are some great sets of chapters in this volume. We get the continuation of the stranger living on an electricity pylon story that started in the last volume. I liked the idea that not all Stands could be controlled by their user in fact I'm not entirely sure if this Stand had a user as such. The conclusion to the chapters was really interesting and not the usual quick simple ending we get most the time.
Other chapters continue the hunt for Kira in his new identity which I'm assuming must be coming to an end soon as there is only one volume left in part 4. I really liked the Mysterioso Stand even if it didn't make much sense that it could trap things like fire and electricity in a piece of paper.
A pretty good entry for a series that I have found rather up and down it's just a shame that the author felt the need to add a super creepy bath scene in it. I just don't get it.

The stand users in this one were truly bizarre. Mikitaka is a real one! He really came through for Josuke. Yuya too. That paper guy using Tomoko was dirty, but at least her outfit was cute. The way Rohan got that stand off of his back was genius! Kira finally gets proof that Hayato knows something is up and decides to confront him in the bathroom? Hayato really held his own though, that kid wasn't playing! Also, I hate Kira but I'm obsessed with his tie.

If this volume didn’t include the lowkey goofy but almost entertaining tower thing it would probably be five stars. Kira is truly so so unsettling in this part and it really cements just how truly evil he is. Not a morally gray antagonist in the slightest—just a straight up freakazoid. Like the murder which is already so so eerie in it of itself followed by the bath scene… peak literature. Rohan was also less insufferable than normal here but I feel bad for the architect. I want to read the next volume now but am making myself wait to truly enjoy the finale of the legit best jojo part.

The Superfly fight is cool, if a little confusing in parts. Enigma is a great fight, genuinely tense and super fun to read. I love the character turnaround and the ending is awesome. The standout of this volume is the Cheap Trick fight, which is another peak in this Part. A great concept for a stand, and the resolution is so damn cool. This is a nice group of fights, feels weird knowing this is the preamble to the finale though with no warning of said finale being just around the corner.

Josuke saves Mikitaka from Toyohiro. Toyohiro wants to stay in his tower and Josuke and the others leave him. Josuke recruits Yuya to sniff out the perp that kidnapped Koichi. Hayato films Kira killing Minako and her boyfriend. Rohan gets rid of a pesky stand thanks to his wits. Misterioso gets beat thanks to Yuya and Josuke and Koichi finish him off.

Kira's favorite movie is The Remains of the Day, haven't seen it, but I'm guessing he likes it due to its unfulfilled love/admiration from afar theme (sinister if you take into account what he does to somen). Serial killers watch romantic movies too.
P.S. Cheap Trap takes the prize for the most annoying enemy in Diamond.
