Hermes Costello can step on me any day any time.
The story keeps on going strong, I loved Hermes's centered chapters, the new Stands are terrifying. Jolyne is a Joestar to the bone, she has that righteousness heart Koichi mentioned in part 5, referring to Giorno.
The little kid still creeps me up, I have a feelings something is wrong with him, I don't trust him.
The mystery aspect is so entertaining and layered, part 6 has some of the best mysteries I've ever read. The protagonists need to figure out who is attacking them, why, what are the stand abilities and how it connects with a bigger picture and all of it is so intricate and unpredictable and bizarre. I'm very curious where "There's Six of Them" mini arc will lead.
The illustrations are gorgeous and dynamic, it's a pleasure to read the manga.

Memes in this volume:
I didn't expect this to come so soon :'(
FemmeSui should've been a real thing bc as fun as subliminal lesbians are it's much better for them to be seen in canon
PANTIES

This is probably coming super late, but volume 66 of Jojo is where it really hit home how much of a fever dream this series is. Maybe it has something to do with other people seeing parts of this volume over my shoulder. And it occurred to me that if they asked what the hell I'm reading, I would have zero chance of giving them a coherent answer.
Anyway, I have to give credit to Araki for another brave choice. While he's never done much for me, Jotaro means a lot to tons of people. He's that Kenshiro style power fantasy that so many young men and boys buy into. He's guy that comes to mind when most people think of Jojo. For better or worse, he is the face of the series. So, to make him the damsel in distress for a female protagonist in a shonen magazine published in 2000... Hell yeah dude. Jolyne's beatdown of Johngalli was fantastic. And then she deliberately dives back into the belly of the beast for the sake of saving her deadbeat dad.
I really like the way Jotaro and Jolyne's relationship is handled. Jotaro is exactly the kind of father you would expect him to be. And that, understandably, causes some paternal angst. And the mix of emotions that come up when he shows up to help Jolyne after abandoning her for so long- I felt that. Full disclosure: I liked the story of Final Fantasy X, particularly the father-child angst. That's an easy in with me. If that's not a deal breaker, hit me up. We can go see a movie and talk about how the church of Yevon is a metaphor for American militarism.
Other miscellaneous highlights include the Florida setting. We get some nice coastal scenery, as well as gratuitous Orange Juice and Alligators. Speaking of Alligators, I love Charlotte. She's an adorable little asshole. Also, I'm curious as to which came first. The "Like a Virgin" bracelets, or Suicide Squad. Because somebody done stole an idea. I just don't know who.
So what's not to like with the way Stone Ocean is going? Well, I wasn't the biggest fan of the Hermes Sticker arc. Araki tends to pose Jolyne and Hermes provocatively when it's not really situationally appropriate. But that arc was where this tendency has reached its worst yet. The same is true of the male protagonists in other parts as well, so maybe I'm overthinking it. But I think not. There have been more panty shots and ladies posing provocatively in these past 30 chapters than there were been in the prior 600. And while I'm at it, can't the translators stop having characters streeeetch oooout theirrrr woooords wheeeennn theeeeey yellll?
Highway to Hell and Burning Down the House don't do much for me either. Stand powers have always been off the wall, but these feel needlessly specific. I would add Kiss to that list, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. Especially since the way it was used to beat Lightening Mcqueen was pretty cool.

Took me what 4 days to read because it was soo soo good
Also finally seeing a female Jojo main is super refreshing. The stands in this part are absolutely crazy. I can talk about this part for daays but I want to keep this review spoiler-free(I realised the irony here). The new setting is amazing thought it feels like a closed space but it eventually opens up. The protagonist Jolyne is different, like every other Jojo but she is one at heart. And wow the characters are all so fresh. I dont know why this part gets so much hate. Honestly I loved it and maybe more than some of the previous ones but well yeah one thing's worth noting, you need to be ready for the ending. The whole part had so many wild moments it's like Jojo on steroids. Jolyne's stand is soo sooo cool and the bunch of support characters are all super likable and you'll end up wanting more out of this part, the interactions between them is what really makes this series all the way more fun. The suspense and the twisted start will really catch you off-guard and stick one right on the back of your head. Man keeping this spoiler free is really hard.
Also Jolyne is a frikin badass which is well fitting for the family
Ok I think that sums it up
The antagonist? Guess who's back :)

Caught up on every finished part of JoJo. Best. Manga. Ever.
(Steel Ball Run is still the best part, though.)

i am also in love with hermes
Read
April 30, 2021The theme of the book to me is a story of how jotatri wants to make up his neglect to his daughter and. Im taking away to enjoy life and time with your friends. I also learned live everyday like it is your last. I enjoyed the relationship change between Jotaro and Jolyne. I also like the whole prison aspect in the first few chapter as a reference to Jotaro. I big thing i liked is the main villain Pucci and his connections to Dio. I didn't like the the plot holes everything could have been avoided if they would of got giorno. also the fact of how jotaro can stop time for 5 seconds again when previously being nerfed to 2 doesn't make sense.

Me gusta la manera en como terminan enfrentando los distintos obstáculos, en especial el hecho que Jotaro y deban sacarlo del tablero y darle más protagonismo a su hija, pero me falló la localidad. Entiendo la idea de la cárcel, pero no me gusta y espero que puedan irse pronto de ti. Por otra parte, me gusta el hecho que las futuras Josisters les den una buena introducción, tanto para explicar la trama como para tenerles cariño. Definitivamente lo mejor de esta parte es la creatividad en como se usan los Stands, pero me siento asfixiado en un solo lugar.

While I liked how Hérmes will have a important role in the story and how feminine this cast is, especially considering we’re talking about a shounen manga,the lore was convoluted(specifically regarding the discs). Anyhow, hopefully next volume will be clearer. Besides what was said, the mystery within this part has been engaging and I’m very excited for the outcome.

4 estrellas.
Se ve un cambio en la personalidad de Jolyne, me gusta como la actitud y el carácter Joestar se ve sin importar en que generación nos encontremos.
El desarrollo de un nuevo personaje llamado Ermes, yo ya sabía que sería alguien importante.
Sólo disfruto el como es que se desarrollan las cosas con los diferentes personajes y también la llegada de nuevos stands.

and we meet hermes!! i love her and jolyne’s dynamic already. she is such a good deuteragonist and i think she contrasts jolyne VERY well. also learned a bit more about emporio and the reason he’s there as well as how the discs work through hermes’ arc with that janitor.

Este libro tiene el final de "El visitante" (***/), la totalidad de "Ermes' Kiss" (***/) y el principio de "Hay seis" (***/). Lo promedio para abajo sólo por capricho y porque los tomos anteriores y el siguiente me gustaron un poco más.

Afortunadamente en este tomo mejoraron las cosas, veamos como sigue.
