Kōhei Kadono (上遠野浩平 or Kouhei Kadono) is a Japanese author, best known for the Boogiepop series, which has also been adapted as a live action movie, manga and anime.
Hol Horse, a villain from part 3 of the Jojo series, and Josuke, the protagonist of part 4 of the Jojo series, team up and fight against a stand user that makes others experience the memories of others that it has recorded. These are primarily memories linked to traumatic experiences, which challenge the leads of this series. The team-up is fun as it combines characters that most Jojo fans would not have expected.
This has so much potential!!!! I'm seeing possibilities for so many backstories to be fully revealed, but also still a bit confused about how the plot will come together without being muddled due to so much involvement from different parts. I plan to review this in full once it's finished!
Tome 2 plus équilibré sur les apparitions sur ses protagonistes. Boingo et Ryon Ryon ont un peu plus de temps qui leur est consacré. Le mystère autour des souvenirs liés à Dio continue de s'épaissir mais on sent qu'on arrive au dénouement.
Pretty great so far and has a bunch of potential to be a great series. Would be five stars if it didn't take place before Part 4-- sad to see the Duwang Gang probably won't be returning. I also hope Hol Horse remains the primary focus of the story; seeing his trauma over his past with DIO is... really sad and really interesting. I'm always a sucker for anti-heroes and "bad guy turned good" kind of stories, so I can't wait to follow this story. We also get some closure over Kakyoin, which we never got in Stardust Crusaders.
So far the series is great. I feel the author truly understands both Hol Horse and Josuke very well. It has made me very excited to see how this short story ends in Vol.3 It again makes a slight error to the main line cannon that broke me out of reading it, where Dio is mentioned to Josuke where again Josuke in part 4 only learns of Dio from Jotaro about the Bow and arrow. Not enough of an error that I will be up in arms about it but enough that it drags me out of the story if only for a slight moment.
Finalmente conocen el poder del Stand, y la persona que está utilizándolo, ¿pero por qué? Hol Horse y Boingo reflexionan acerca del impacto que Dio ha tenido en sus vidas, mientras su presencia se vuelve un fantasma que los en la historia.
El volumen cuenta con buenas escenas de acción y de estrategia por parte de los protagonistas que intentan librarse del ataque del stand.
The action was great in this volume. It continues to build on the themes presented in the first volume. Not sure why they had a fakeout villain in a short series like this, but it’ll be interesting to see where this goes.
4.0⭐️

Segundo tomo de Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak, previsto para la segunda mitad del año. Probablemente recopile los capítulos 6 al 10, dependiendo de la cantidad de páginas de cada uno.
As a JoJo spinoff, it's really good! Seeing Hol Horse and Josuke team up is a really "Bizarre" line up of main characters. The ability of Petsounds' stand is really smart too. I really liked it!
Solid volume with more information of what’s happening and involves more detail in why characters are in the story but it gets a little slow in the middle then picks up a lot toward the last chapter
If the first one was good, I think this one gets better!! The main antagonist is revealed but not their motif, and I think it's making reference to another part of the Jojo narrative..... And I'm HOOKED. The only reason I'm not finnishing the triology tonight is because I couldn't find the third volume in store! I'm loving it!!
Tomo intermedio que me hizo vacilar a la hora de calcular para dónde va la serie. Quizás no está a la altura de un tomo común de Jojo's porque le falta más el toque tan personal de Araki, pero tanto la premisa de este tomo como el dibujo me gustaron lo suficiente como para no colgar este spin-off. Y sigo bancando a la prima de Kakyoin.
