I'm going to be on a manga/graphic novel kick for a while. I'm checking off all the series I have on my list, and there are a LOT of them. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is one of my husband's favorite animes; Me being me, I had to read the manga first, even though I know they're probably pretty similar. I've seen the first few episodes and I have to agree with their similarities.
The first volume doesn't really get deep into what is going to happen, it's more of a big back story to the actual story line. There is Dio, arguably the biggest a**hole in the world. He has no real reason to be like this in my opinion, but that's just him. JoJo on the other hand, is a true 'gentleman'. He does everything he can to prove himself as one. Of course, the two clash; you can't say you didn't expect that. I feel like this was a huge set up for the plot and it moved a bit slow, but I don't have any real complaints. I can't wait to jump into volume 2! Luckily, I already grabbed it from the library.
