here the most intense horse racing you would encounter in a story. the idea of a race crossing a continent which is united states is bizarre and awesome. i haven't read all part but i catch up with what happened through the animation series, and this one is within my TOP 3.

in this series everything is reset, i new start for new universe with similar element, it might be a dissapointment because all part 1-6 are kind of abandoned with lots of unanswered question, but..
i think it's just how jojos works.. for some peaople maybe this part is dissapointing to some point, but i enjoy this part without biased to the previous jojos.

the story telling as always, awesome. there are puzzling but this puzzling feeling is makes this series greats. i'm sure the dialogue are mean more than what it is.. it's hard to grasp what really happened through reading it only once.. but still got the rough idea about it. it could be considered as a skillful and genius story-writting. the plot and setting, the ambience, and culture at those timeline are neat + you still got the doofus jokes from the character.

the artwork are excellent, all those details within pannels really gives you the feeling throughout the story, all the movement, especially in battle really easy to understand, and if you actually really observe.. you might find some foreshadow.

++ since jojo is all about joestar, but it's fascinating hows the first-half story tend to more focus to this zepelli guy. unlike the other jojo that are quirky from the start, johnny is rather plain yet not the kind of this pure-boy dude phantom blood Jonathan. and as the story goes you'll find johnny evolving, changing little by little through the race, and what is more awesome is the fact that johnny cannot walk, the contrast point unlike the other superhuman jojo.
and what's best is diego brando existence that is less-jerk than original dio. the anti-hero of this series, meanwhile both facing the same villain yet still opposing the main hero.

overall
there's still this puzzling feeling when the story end.. but there's still jojolion(part 8) where the story migh be relevant to some point *since i haven't read it yet.
but i enjoy it so much, the reset plot is refreshing (because phantom blood is like a sitcom drama for me.. i can't stand it and i hate vampire..)
at first you'll think "wut. will i just read a horse race continect for 96 chapter."
but later a bizarre thing is actually happening without you realizing.

p.s: you'll love the cheese song
