Synopsis

The fourth part of JJBA focuses on Josuke Higashikata, the illegitimate son of Joseph Joestar, with Jotaro Kujo and Joseph Joestar along in a supporting role. Apparently feeling that Stands needed more explanation, Araki retroactively introduces the "Bow and Arrow," an ancient artifact which causes latent Stand ability to develop in people. Apparently Enya used this artifact on Dio, which then caused Stands to develop in the Joestar bloodline as well.

To those who were planning to read JoJo only until the part 3 to get to know these series, and get disappointed with Josuke attitude on the start, I ask you; KEEP READING. Josuke is a character that grows at a humongous speed once he starts fighting seriously, and part 4 get more and more interesting by each chapter you read.

The main difference between the part 3 and 4 is the way that they use their stands. they are not used only for direct combat, so the battles are way more complex as they were on the previous series. The characters really outstand in this read more

I could recommend any JoJo series for starters, but Diamond is unbreakable is the part that mostly matches with houshin engi, since the characters are really charismatic... maybe the drawings are really different, but the feeling of the series are almost the same.
