What a chapter, wow. It's really interesting to know more about the Milagro Man's First Bill.

An urban legend not to be forgotten.

I hope this is some foreshadowing instead of a stand alone arc but even so it was funny nonetheless.

That...was strange. Even for Jojo standards. Was that the end of this arc? I mean I'd rather see what happens with Higashikata-Mom but ending this so abruptly still feels weird.

Maybe i'm dumb but i really don't understand what happened. How did the curse break? How did Nut King Call put money under the label? How did Joshuu get home suddenly?
He fused some cursed money with the label of the bottle so he technically took money from Joushuu so the curse got back to its previous owner.

I think it was a side story to make us understand he is not the little bitch that was before, the last page summarizes it all up with "he's grown up a little".

I think so as well, but it still felt really out of place and rushed to me. There was so much buildup over almost two chapters, only to resolve this in a handful of pages.

I was expecting this to go on for a lot longer. Oh well, guess we'll get back to the main plot.

Interesting chapter,which is the conclusion of the Milagro Man.I liked how ironic was that curse.You continuously receive money,but you can't buy anything and you can end up getting drowned by them.The back-story was ok,but I'd prefer a more detailed one and I also wanted to see a stand made by money.Joushuu tricks the previous victim of the curse and gives him money through his stand returning the curse back to him.So Joushuu matured a bit after this experience.I hope next month we will get back to the main story.

Pretty fun and interesting arc. It showed Joshuu when he's not irritating and it was awesome to see Nut King Call again.

Man, the arc ended too fast, and I was really enjoying it, lol. Joshuu is a much more likable character now and the first half of the chapter was really fun. The second half was a bit confusing, but hopefully we go back to the main plot next month.

I felt bad for the guy at the end when the cursed returned to him. I know joshuu is the same guy that attempted to kill jo2uke over nothing but what he did was so malicious. Gotta live the crafty way he got rid of the curse though. Hopefully the next chapter will deal with the woman who just got outta prison.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Rockband were part of/get entangled with the suspicious activity that occurs in Morioh stadium (regarding the fruit).

Nut King Call is a awesome stand.

I really liked the arc, it made remember me the Sugar Mountain Arc (a masterpiece, in my opinion).

The curse is gone.
It's a pity that you can't buy anything with all that money.

It was a dangerous curse after all. Having a lot of money, but not being able to spend them in anything. Milagro Man arc was a short one, but really entertaining.

Aw, I wanted to see Joshu struggle a little more. Oh well, at least an arc with him as a protagonist already ended.

Pretty cool mini-arc, though I wasn't really impressed by the solution. He somehow tracked the guy down and just randomly put the cursed money into his bottle box thingy. Was hoping for a more interesting solution, but it was entertaining regardless.

Back to the main story now hopefully!

First story arc I can think of that feels like complete filler, but maybe it'll turn out to mean something later on.

Regardless, fun diversion. Joshu's not that likable but that leads to stories that only he can tell, and I found the concept behind the Milagro Man pretty fascinating, both in it's effectiveness and in it's history. Glad it was over short though.

Definitely not as engrossing as the Vitamin C v Killer Queen arc but an amusing joshuu-focused part nonetheless, nice to get some more lighthearted tone chapters after the tragic ones.

I was kind of disappointed that now the previous owner is fricked again but then again I guess you would have to pass it on to somebody unfortunate who was not afflicted before. It seems like millagro man is also the AU counterpart of cheap trick being stand that acts like a curse that transfers to people that also want to get rid of it.
