JoJos Bizarre Adventure: Part 1—Phantom Blood, Vol. 2 (Jojonium, #2) Reviews
-
I love the details that were left out in the anime. They definitely clear up some misconceptions. I also love this fully colourised version.

3.5 ⭐️
Part 1 is off to a more typical start, though I can hardly knock Jojo’s for being the series that served as inspiration for a multitude of future works. Araki’s initial art style is stunning, and I know it’ll only get better as things continue.
The anime alone tells me that Phantom Blood is merely a fraction of what Araki has to offer in terms of quality and storytelling. Still, these first few volumes serve as the rock that an iconic series is built off of, so it’s hard not to cherish them. I love Jonathan as a protagonist, being the sweetest of all the Jojo’s to come. Plus, speedwagon is finally here!!! -
I think my favorite thing is, how Speedwagon only exists to tell us how awesome the protagonists are. It's so over the top that it's cool.
-
Really good story by one of the most iconic mangaka of all time, this series is a masterpiece and the story really starts to take off in volume 2, quality of the volume is superb best quality manga I've purchased in a long time. Strongly recommend.

There's not enough words to describe how much I love this series.

Leída a instancias de mi hijo, el tomo 1 me había sorprendido pero este... no sé. Pura lucha, no encontré profundidad. Parecía estar viendo algo basado en Mortal Combat.

Still trudging through this. It took me almost a month to complete a single volume lol... I'm still going though! I feel like most people struggle in the beginning so I'm still trying to get to the good part. I'm mostly just not interested in what's going on right now. None of the characters really draw me in.
I am getting more used to the art now, especially since they're not using those ugly orange panels. The art is super detailed so I get lost in some of the battle scenes, which happens to me usually, but it's worse because of the intensely detailed line work, but that's more of a me thing. I like the way Dio looks a lot more, but that may just be the fangs. -
Not-Kenshiro and discount-Griffith continue their adventures, with improved art and more creative panel layouts.
This book also gathers most of the best quotes from Phantom Blood, such as:
“Even Speedwagon is afraid!”;
“And Speedwagon withdraws coolly”;
“Hey baby! [...] Come down and meet me...” [said *at* the vampire];
And, of course, “Do you remember how many breads have you eaten in your life?” -
I feel like the anime left out quite a few details from the manga that really add to the story!! i really recommend reading!!

María la del Barrio meets True Blood. Qué bello todo.

Personal Ratings : 4.35 🌟
In this edition, Volume 2 and Volume 3 is combined in a single book. Chapters in this volume are from Chapter 12 - Chapter 27
There are several arcs for this particular volume, that continues from Dio's fall after his rampage at the Joestar's mansion.
1) Youth With Dio Arc
2) Birth of DIO Arc
3) Jack the Ripper & Zippeli The Strange Arc
4) Ripple (Hamon) Overdrive Arc
5) Tarkus & Dark Night Bruford Arc
Out of all the five arcs, I would say I liked the Ripple Overdrive arc the most. Starting from Dio's arcs and how he'll be handling his fall after his rampage to Jojo's uprising and healing. I liked how he found the art of Sendo and Hamon and that due to his inner strength, he would be able to master the skills to overcome the power of the mask.
So far, I enjoyed this volume more. It was packed with action scenes, but also showed how it wasn't easy for Jojo to rise again. I liked the concept of the ripple and hamon. It somehow highlights inner strengths and how you're utilizing that to defeat the power of the mask which I really like the message it comes across as well.
"Losing your breath is fear, but when you control your fear, you can breath regularly! The ripple breathing is the result of being brave."
I would say, I understood the appeal of this series. Jojo has a sense of comradeship and tenacity even after he's broken down many times. Dio is an interesting character, who is smart and strong, but is driven to the brink due to his condition. Whilst nothing can excuse how he takes his life course into actions, in some ways, it shows how poverty and upbringing especially during the setting of the particular time takes toll on the people. Can't wait to see how Part 1 ends. I'm slowly getting hooked that's for sure. -
3.5 leaning more to 3.
I liked the first half and I had to kind of force myself to read the second half. -
3.5 stars. liked this one more than vol 1. actually starting to grow on me which I didn't expect. pretty quick read but I'm still confused as to how I'm supposed to read each page lol.

[review for vols. 1 & 2]
I read through the first two volumes pretty quickly, and found the story fascinating and unusual. Despite these unusual elements, it is still at its heart shonen manga and so there's a point at which I just roll my eyes and lose interest. I'd say I enjoyed the first volume more because it was more story-focused instead of fighting-focused. By the time JoJo got a mentor, I felt like I could start to predict how it was all gonna go. Also, the art is not particularly to my taste-all the absurdly muscular bodies contorted into all kinds of weird positions required a bit too much suspension of disbelief. All this is probably why I read the first two volumes a month ago and the third is still sitting on a chair at home waiting for me to get around to it. -

Content warnings: Body horror, gore, arson
Dio becomes a vampire and it’s the main event of this volume. Actually, that’s a lie, Jonathan meets mentor Will Antonio Zepelli and a new friend in the form of Speedwagon. Together, they work together to master hamon energy, which is apparently effective against vampires. But it’s not just vampires, as Dio has also sired spirits which prove formidable foes against Jonathan and friends.
The action continues to be over-the-top, and the one liners are amazing (my personal favorite being “Speedwagon withdraws coolly”). Dio becomes an even more formidable foe, amazing an army of vampires and other undead. The stakes remain personal but keep escalating. I love how it’s still zoomed in on the treachery of Dio, without spending too much time on the fate of the world at large. -
Solid volume, but nothing too crazy. Hamon is very fun and silly but the fights in this one didn't really go too crazy. That being said Willy boy Zeppeli is an absolute badass and goofball all at once, and we love him for it - he also gets bonus points for being the first character to start the time honored Jojo's tradition of having absolutely insane drip.
Honestly, with the next volume going right into Blueford and Tarukus and ending with the final Jonathan and Dio showdown, this one was just doing what it needed to lay the groundwork for the banger content on the way. And honestly, I need to take my chances to rate these low while I can because I don't think it's physically possible for me to rate any Jojo's content lower than a 3 and this Jojo's binge is going to just absolutely destroy my average rating on here.
Quote of the Volume:
"HEY, BABY!!!"
- William A. Zeppeli -
October 9, 2018: the bizarre adventure continues, while Dio refuses to go down easy. JoJo gets a new mentor who might just give him the advantage he needs. I wish Speedwagon served a purpose beyond narration and hysterical exclamations, because he is actually an interesting character. I can see his role growing with time.

Číst to ve fyzický podobě je hned o něčem jiným. Tahle edice je mega nádherná a dává celému příběhu úplně jiný nádech. Phantom Blood už si skoro nepamatuju, takže jsem si to pěkně oživila. Zeppeli, Speedwagon, hamon... I love it all. A Dio je nej!
4/5* -
I liked this manga the characters are great and the fights are great to the fight of jack the ripper vs JoJo is great. Zeppile is a good side character and speedwagon is the best. Dio is a great I liked him fight vs jonathan.

Solo quería resalta el conocimiento de Speedwagon sobre la altura y peso de Jonathan Joestar (?

There’s much to be desired in this second volume. It’s not horrible, but the latter half (if you can call it that) lacks the knife edge tension seemingly omnipresent in the first volume. At least that’s what I’m recollecting. The rivalry between Dio and JoJo has enough momentum to keep me reading for several volumes.
While I enjoyed the instructor, the training sessions themselves held as much excitement as…I dunno, any training montage that’s over in a few pages. The source of newfound powers is cool. Here’s to hoping there are more secrets to unlock in JoJo.
The art’s still unique as ever. The dialogue and prose leave me partial to all the characters as befits them. For all of this the last two thirds of part II were just there to read. -
¡Me encantó! Sentí que por fin Dío recibió una pequeña (muy pequeña) dosis de todo el mal que le causó a Jojo.
Espero que en el siguiente capítulo digan algo con respecto a la historia de la máscara. -
It took me forever to get through this. I didn't dislike it but it was just a drag for me. Once Zeppeli is introduced, it perks back up but damn, I hate Dio.
