Jousuke's man tears ;_;

Not sure I feel about this new girl tbh. I want to know more about her though especially since if she knew Kira from somewhere.

Certainly an interesting new character though.

Yeah, she totally reminds Yukako, even her behavior but let's not jump the gun again.

Anyway, Yasuho and Josuke's moment was so damn cute.
best couple of the universe btw

I don't think he cares about money, and if he can keep her around with just money then it's all better so he can get some info from her. And hopefully we readers will be able to understand a little more of Gappy's backstory after this arc.

Oooo-wee! Little by little, Jojolion is winning me over. From the earlier chapters, I knew this was going to be more quieter in presentation than the previous part. But. But here, on this "breather" chapter, Araki's use of composition shone through to me more than ever. More minimal line-work, more negative space with nothing in it, and a couple more close-ups for good measure. Seriously. A page dedicated to a bubble pursuing a butt. The connection was there (bubble butt, bubble butt...) but the circumstances only Araki could write up.

I said this was a breather chapter but there were still some moments of build up that had me engaged and pleasantly surprised. Like when Yasuho is excited to see Josuke but Josuke doesn't even notice her at first and we get the cute scene of them crying and laughing some pages later. Another moment happens with the cook and Karera. We can already guess she's a stand user but we're not sure why until we see her forcefully persuading the cook to pinch "it." I had no idea what to expect but that strand of hair instantly brought forth the Yukako connection. Even the names have a similar gist to 'em.

All I heard when I read this chapter was "Kiss" by Prince. Fitting.

Catching up with Jojo is a horrible feeling. It's pretty hard to have to wait a month before reading the newest chapter.
The new character looks interesting and she seems to knows about Kira and Jousuke's other half. I wonder if she has also any connection with the rock men or Jobin?

While first impressions would suggest that this Karera chick is an eccentric lifestyle leading, frivolous spending scammer who just sought Josuke out based on some personal obsession, it seems like she may know more about his situation than what she's letting on. For what reason is unclear at this stage, but is probably going to be revealed next time.

It was also great seeing Josuke and Yasuho together again, they really are an adorable pair of characters. It'd be interesting ifYasuho decided to follow Josuke with Paisley Park and came to his aide when the inevitable confrontation with Miss Manic Pixie Girl happens. Seeing the two of them directly assisting each other in a fight is something I desperately want to see, especially since Yasuho is now aware of her stand's existence.

Finally Tsurugi...urgh. I'm trying really hard to like you, but you keep giving me reasons to be put off. It's really weird how sexualised a 9 year old boy is acting towards someone nearly twice his age X_X.

So does anyone know if that fry song was from anything? I tried googling but came up empty, they have already kinda sung "Bicycle Race" this part so I assumed that it would also be a reference to an actual song, I'm so confused how it's supposed to sound because Yasuho describes it as "wonderful" but anyway I try to sing it in my head it just come out sounding bad lol.

Probably it's original, like Mozzarella's song of Gyro.

sechan... where could the se- come from? I don't know japanese names so I have no idea what it could be.

I like jo2uke a lot but did being dug up without any memories include inability to recognize good booty... he snubs yasuho and karera (even though neither of their affections is really his agenda rn...) Disappointing.

I think karera will end up fighting yasuho actually. she will follow josuke and see the girl, and they know eachother. then karera says "sechan why are you hanging around her!!?" then yasuho will say "sechan?? josuke why do you know her??" then they will fight because karera tricked yasuho's family business out of a lot of money.
"madoka magica is just so ridiculous I mean who is going to believe such a shoddy melodramatic tragedy could have any commercial or moral value"

Crazy girlfriend with a hair stand? Yeah, I can see why people compare her to Yukako. She'll be a lot of trouble, I can tell. Hopefully Josuke can get some information out of her, though.

Also kind of heartbreaking how Josuke and Yasuho met after all this time (though it can't be THAT long, right?) only for Josuke to wander off again. But oh well.
