Wow, a great ending to a great story, really enjoyed last part with some flaws here and there of course,  some from the age of the story, but I really enjoyed it and can't wait to read the next part

Jonathan is goated

Jonathan and Erina have my whole heart. I’ve already watched Phantom Blood, so I knew to savour all the time time they have together before Dio would ruin everything.

This volume definitely represents the best of part I, with several *bizarre* fights (including, but not limited to): hair that can hold swords, autonomous vampire heads, and undead knights used as puppets for greater evil. Jonathan might not be the most eccentric Jojo, but it’s easy to see why he’s beloved by the fandom for his honourable and gentlemanly nature. A humble start to a great series!!
