it's the cover of the actual volume 1.
I really dig it. So much more than the JoJonium covers because Araki's newer style just doesn't match.

Yeah but the twinkier art from later in part 4 isn't representative of the art in early part 4

The twinkier art on the loving JoJoniums isn't representative of the art in the first 3 parts either!!!

This chapter cover is literal perfection.

Thank you Araki.

Loving that new cover style but kinda bummed it means JoJonium isn't likely starting back up in Japan.

I've been over it a while back but the JP JoJoniums are so much better quality than the EN ones too. Much better prints and better paper. They're gorgeous.

Not that the EN ones are awful.

It seems like it isn't so maybe the person I saw talking about the fact that they didn't do so well in Japan comparatively was telling the truth? Who knows.

But yeah, I vastly prefer the JP Jojoniums. I'm thrilled that they're using the original volumes for Pt 4.

BTW we (they, really, I'm taking a break this month so I think all I'm gonna do is QC) are still working on jojolion so I think it'll be up pretty late tonight or early tomorrow

Good chapter

Tsurugi...

God that was a great chapter wasn't it?

Typical creepy Joshu getting up to his old tricks and holy hell that page turn!

We already knew Tsurugi was a cold motherfucker with the whole 'disguising a bus to kill a man' thing but drat there's some hosed up poo poo going on with him now. Also i'm pretty sure someone from this thread earlier called the whole the Norisuke thing. He's just badly injured right? :(

He's definitely fuckin dead, he's in a goddamn body bag.

I'm surprised Tsurugi is becoming such a villainous character. And we MAYBE have a chance to find out who the blond guy is! Maybe! Of course, I'm sure the ex boyfriend will wind up being the chief physician or whatever.

Also, have we heard anything about the wall eyes in a while?

Somehow I hadn't even realized the previous fight was over.


drat though.

Norisuke :(

Tsurugi what the gently caress are you doing, I thought Tsurugi was starting to come around to the idea that Jobin was bad but then it looks like Tsurugi is knowledgeable of and involved in some way with Norisuke dying and that's just like... god drat. We never even got anymore cool King Nothing poo poo. I wanna say that's my biggest problem with part 8, a ton of the characters have neat stands but we only ever seem to see the same couple over and over and idk I'm just not a fan of where this is going, but I guess there's no way to be sure until Araki finishes this section up... man idk what it is but there was just something about this chapter I didn't really find enjoyable at all.

The thing about Norisuke to bear in mind is that Paper Moon King is an illusion stand so what you see and what you get aren't necessarily the same thing... I hope Norisuke is ok though

I had the same suspicion about Yasuho's fuccboi ex but i'm leaning towards him being a red herring. Also gotta say the amount of plot movement in the last few chapters has been very refreshing.

Pray for Norisuke :pray:

the whole tsurugi thing is wild

but, don't take this as me assuming anything, i feel like the rock human thing might have something to do with tsurugi, and part of me is basing this on the fact that poor tom looks like a goddamn child to some degree himself. as i said, i'm not going to make assumptions here, but for all we know there was some weird fuckery and tsurugi is either part rock human or even maybe an impostor posing as him. it's a vague thought that hit me.

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...

I have... absolutely no clue if this is intentional or not, but if it is, WHAT THE gently caress

Oh, and Tsurugi is, uh, unexpected

Holy poo poo, we're gonna see the whole seven days of Tsurugi cleaning up behind the scenes, aren't we? Or whoever that "Tsurugi" really is. Also, his grandmother is definitely still important - what the hell is SHE up to?


I'll be honest... I have a feeling that this is the beginning of an arc that introduces the final villain. Similar like the absolute mindfuck of an introduction that Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap got in part 7. But no idea who that final villain could be, there's, like, four different candidates at this point! Surprising for JoJo, but I really like it.

it's good enough to keep me interested, i can say that much. been kinda iffy on a couple aspects in regards to weird little gross things happening but otherwise it's definitely unique.

If it sticks the landing that is the ending, it'll be at least above average as JoJo parts goes.
