Read the full take

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6 is one of the most distinctive action series in manga. The prison setting works like a pressure cooker, and the Stand battles are full of wild ideas that make you stop and reread panels to see how they work. The artwork is iconic: poses, expressions and fashion all carry a stylish swagger you can spot from across the room. The honest critique is pacing. Several stretches drag as the story juggles a big cast and multiple threads, and some fights go on longer than they need to. Newcomers may find the cast hard to track at first. The payoff is strong once the story gets going, though, and the sense of escalating danger feels real. If you enjoy inventive battles and bold artwork, this is a must-read. Expect a few slow spots, and let the wild ideas carry you through them.
