A silly, whacky short story, a different take on the bizarre franchise.
There is no need to take this seriously and it was obviously never intended to be taken as such. It’s non-canon, so it doesn’t ruin everything. If you think it oversexualizes Jolyne’s character I have to remind you what were among the first acts she did at the start of the main manga. This is not that much of a stretch from the original.
The basic of the plot is a BL artist using her stand to draw commissions in prison, and I think that’s a nice contemporary take on the bizarrdnesness and passes
...
the creative check. The one-shot also features some extra interraction between the cast that's fun to read.
To address the elephant in the room, yes, there is fanservise. So if you happen to find that distasteful, you probably won’t enjoy this. That said, there is no nudity, ironically making the actual Stone Ocean manga have more hardcore fanservice than this one-shot.
The art certainly isn’t bad, but it is widely different from the arstyle of both early and later JoJo. Therefore, if you’re the type of fan that thinks the original work is untouchable and any derivate that differs from it is heresy, you too won’t enjoy this. If you absolutely hate moe you also won't get a kick out of it.
Overall it was an enjoyable quick read, though enjoyable only to those able to accept its silliness.
