before i get started i just want to say this is a review for the entire series that include parts 1-7 i will later wxplain why 8 isnt there

just to make you know the series better here is the name of the parts:
part 1 - phantom blood
part 2- Battle Tendency
part 3- stardust crusaders
part 4- diamond is unbrakable
part 5- Vento Aureo (golden wind)
part 6- stone ocean
part 7- steel ball run
... part 8- jojolion

each part have a different stroy. part 1-6 exist in the first universe and part 7 and 8 exist in SBR universe (SBR=steel ball run AKA part 7) the first part was a little annoying at first but at the middle it begun to develop and it left me in awe/ the second part was as amazing as the first one but for me it was more interesting because all the traveling and the powers of the pillar men. part 3 had an interseting story and it developed in such an amazing way that i fell inlove with this part the first time i read it. part 4 didnt have a straight story line like the previous part but it was like a sitcom and i loved it because it was hillariously funny. part 5 was weird at first but at the end it became so interesting and there was alot of action and plot twist there that i LOVED. part 6 started strong and remained strong for the whole time this part had some romantic interst in it that i absolutely loved. part 7 started very weak but in the middle it became intense and unique like no part have been before. the reason i didnt wrote the shortened version of each part stories it that it contains ALOT of spoilers and i dont want to ruin you the franchise. part 8 is still going but its just at the beggining so i cant judge it.

the art, oh what can i say about the art?
well: at parts 1&2 the art was completely disproportionational and the battles were so hard to inderstand
part 3 made a HUGE difference in the art with the coming of stands (you gonna read the series to find out what it is) and everything was fixed
since part 4 and until now the art have been changed dreasticly. there were no more muscular character but now they were "bi-shounen" characters as the mangaka says.

now for the characters. they are pretty standart in every part there is:
the hero AKA Jojo
the idiot
a kind of old awesome man
and a woman that appear useless but in some cases she is stronger than most characters
but there is one thing i loved in jojo is that every character have flaws. one of my favourite characters is cripple and he is a protagonist in part 7 and the face that the mangaka made a cripple protagonist made me fall inlove AGAIN in the series. the fact that not every character is perfect and the realisem of everything that involve emotions made it truly amazing.

the enjoyment i had while reading this series was outstanding. not a thing that the major shounens of today can do. i truly got addicted and obssesd and i never had this thing with a series before i read jojo. one of the things that made me enjoy this series sooooooooo much is that there are alot of cultural references and it made me laugh alot of times

overall this manga was amazing for me. i fell inlove with every single detail and it quickly became my favourite all times. basically this manga is perfect (except the art in parts 1&2).
