JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken: The JOJOLands

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The JOJOLands shifts the franchise to a volcanic island in the Pacific, and the change of scenery gives it a sun-drenched feel. A young boy with ambitions to become a great millionaire is at the centre, and his path toward that goal drives the story. The setting is fresh, and the art is stylish, with bold designs and a playful energy that suits the new location. The lead is ambitious and fun to follow. The honest cons: the early chapters move slowly as the cast is introduced, and the tone feels looser and less focused than earlier parts of the franchise. Some readers may miss the tight rivalries of the older arcs. Still, it is an interesting, playful entry that shows the series still has room to surprise. If you are following the franchise, this is worth a look. New readers may want to start with an earlier part.
