Yet, somehow, I was pulled into the narrative.

No difference here-there's a lot of shouting and exclamation marks. The narratives bounce all over the place and every character's emotions are either dialed into the red or-if they're "cool"-are never perturbed by the outrageous ongoings. Normally, I don't have the patience for manga. Face it-it's called Jojo's Bizarre Adventure for legitimate reasons. He provided necessary backstory from Parts 1-4, patiently answered a few of my exasperated questions, and I was off on a bizarre narrative in which gender distinctions are blurred by dress and hairstyle, selected characters possess strange special powers-the power to impart life energy!, the power to add a zipper to anything punched!, the power to only move and use your ability within shadows!, the power to freeze an object in place by making it too heavy to move!- and then fight and forge friendships in a myriad of settings and circumstances. He knew I am not into manga, but he knew this particular saga intersected with some of my interests. Jotaro.įully aware of my literary and film interests, my well-read son recommended Golden Wind, part 5 of Hirohiko Araki's ongoing manga saga Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. I'm here on vacation.and also because I've taken on a bizarre job from Mr. But I-Koichi Hirose, by the way-am traveling somewhere else: Italy, a country of ancient history, but also of economic crisis. In the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, humanity traveled all the way to Jupiter.at least in the part I saw before falling asleep.

The first three months of the 21st century have passed quickly.
