Synopsis

While the gold rush takes Europe by storm, a young Jonathan Joestar lives a life of luxury with his father at their estate in Liverpool, England. Jonathan, known by his peers as JoJo, spends his days playing the part of a gentleman and living a carefree life. However, those peaceful days soon came to an end when Dio Brando intrudes upon him.

Dio is a young boy from London who is adopted into the Joestar family due to a debt Jonathan's father owed to Dio's father. While Jonathan is receptive towards having a new brother, Dio schemes against the Joestars in order to inherit the fortune. As Dio's schemes get out of hand, Jonathan is forced to confront him once and for all.

Thus begins the story of the Joestar bloodline, as Jonathan matures with and eventually combats his adoptive brother while encountering bizarre new friends and foes.

I've seen the anime series and its sequels, now it was time to read the manga. The first thing I noticed immediately while reading the manga was "Damn, why do these characters look so ancient, this is some Amuro and Char looking shit from the first Gundam series". I know the manga was released in the late 80's but I wasn't ready to see Jojo and Dio different from their anime counterparts. Surprisingly as the series progresses the character look much more modern by the end of this arc. The art was a bit unique, there are somethings I haven't seen much while reading modern ...

Essa parte é infinitamente melhor adaptada pra anime, o inicio é bom mas durante o treinamento do Jonathan cai o ritmo e só volta a acontecer de novo nos dois confrontos contra o dio. Dio como sempre é o personagem que carrega a narrativa, ele é carismatico o bastante pra ofuscar o protagonista e te fazer querer continuar mesmo com enrolação.
O traço não funciona de forma alguma no mangá preto e branco, só consigo entender o que ta rolando no mangá colorido, mas o enredo foi criativo apesar da clara inspiração em dracula e de forma alguma é previsível.
Eu gostei mas o ritmo foi ...

JoJo Part 1 may just be the worst manga series I have ever read, but three factors keep me from giving it anything less than a 5. First, it is easy to see how JoJo influenced a lot of anime and manga series that I find more palatable because they dial down the goofiness from JoJo a bit. Second, the art style in JoJo is well above almost all of it's Shonen Jump peers. Third, there is a significant jump in quality between part 1 and part 2. Pretty much every other aspect of this manga is banal. Just getting through all the volumes felt ...
