It has come to the time where, at long last, all of the Jojo light novels have been translated to English (at least unofficially, through fan-effort).

Genesis of the Universe marks the first that I was able to complete, working chronologically from the beginning of the manga onward (with full knowledge of what had already been adapted into the anime up to Part 5).

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Genesis of Universe is for all intents and purposes exactly what it says to be: another two short encounters to add to the "stand of the week" formula of Stardust Crusaders manga. It doesn't really enhance the story or the characters in any way, but if you're just looking for more JoJo anything, this will work as your fix.

As mentioned, thanks to the episodic formula of most of the plot of Stardust Crusaders, this novel doesn't have it hard to find a place on the timeline to fit in without disrupting the main story. The problem I have with it is ...
