I generally dislike JoJo's. I think the fans overblow the fuck out of it like nothing else, and can make you think it's god's gift to media when it's still great but absolutely not the godsend they treat it as. Despite the rabid fans that can't keep their mouth shut without saying 'ora' or some other brainlet reference to the series for over 10 seconds, I really think this is the particular installment that deserves that level of praise.

It's best read without knowing anything beforehand, but I can wholeheartedly recommend this part to anyone that just wants to read JoJo. Despite the fact that Redditors would LOVE to crucify for daring to skip a part(GRRRR :Rage: :Rage: :rage: :Rage: PART SKIPPER BAD!!! HAMON GOOD!!!!!!!) I think you could justify only reading this part with some light knowledge of the series as a whole. The characters and concept is probably the most interesting the series has ever gotten for me. While the other parts did have their highlights this never really let me down on anything that was shown or discussed. Everything feels inspired or to the least interesting if it references other parts of the serie.(If you've read the end of this, you know exactly what I'm on about.) yet it never feels boring.

So as TL;DR: Yea, go read it.
