Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Tome 13: Le Maléfice de Dio

... Show More
Violent, strange saga spanning four continents and four generations. Araki's ideas are stretched increasingly thin, but there is still plenty of action and new concepts to sustain the interest of demanding Shounen Jump readers. Each part of Jojo can be read more or less independently, and has its own atmosphere and storytelling/art style.

This was extremely good.

It was a truly remarkable experience.

The book in question was probably the best I've read.

From the moment I picked it up, I was completely engrossed.

The story was captivating, the characters were well-developed, and the writing was superb.

I found myself unable to put the book down, eager to see what would happen next.

It took me on a journey through different emotions, making me laugh, cry, and everything in between.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a great read.

It's one that will stay with you long after you've turned the last page.

I can't wait to see what the author comes up with next.

Trigger warning for: blood, violence, gore, a kiss between an adult woman and a 17-year-old (which was done to break a possession, but the situation still lingers), and inappropriate interactions between a father and daughter (where both are adults, yet it still left me feeling rather strange).



The presence of blood, violence, and gore can be extremely disturbing and graphic. It has the power to shock and unnerve the viewer or reader.


The kiss between the adult woman and the 17-year-old, although perhaps with the intention of breaking a possession, still raises eyebrows and creates an uncomfortable atmosphere.


The inappropriate interactions between the father and daughter, despite them both being adults, add another layer of unease. Such relationships should adhere to certain boundaries and norms, and when those are crossed, it can leave a lasting impression of discomfort and strangeness.


Overall, these elements combine to create a narrative that is not only intense but also leaves the audience with a sense of unease and a need to grapple with the complex and often disturbing themes presented.

When I first watched the anime, I didn't attach much importance to this part.

However, now I think that perhaps it is my favorite.

I love all the characters in it.

Each character has its own unique personality and charm, which makes the story more vivid and interesting.

The plot is also very exciting, full of twists and turns, always keeping me on the edge of my seat.

Moreover, the animation style is very beautiful, with bright colors and细腻的 drawings, which gives people a very enjoyable visual experience.

In general, this anime has become one of my favorites, and I can't wait to watch it again and again.

I discovered that this volume served as an excellent starting point for my collection. After indulging in the anime, it was simply unthinkable not to explore the manga as well.

Stardust Crusaders is widely regarded as one of the most popular installments, and with good cause. However, in my personal view, it is unjust to form an opinion about an entire series based on just one volume. It is essential to read the entire collection before passing judgment. I have noticed many individuals claim to dislike it after only reading a single volume. One must witness the characters at their lowest ebb to fully appreciate their ascent to greatness. I thoroughly relished observing how Araki's artistic style has evolved over the years. I wholeheartedly recommend this volume and the entire JoJo series to anyone I know.

It offers a captivating and unique experience that is not to be missed. Whether you are a fan of the anime or new to the franchise, the manga has something to offer for everyone. So, pick up a volume and embark on this exciting journey with the Joestar family.

Totalement excellente!

This simple phrase holds a world of meaning. It expresses complete and utter excellence. When we say something is "totalement excellente," we are acknowledging that it is of the highest quality, surpassing all expectations.

It could refer to a work of art that leaves us in awe, a performance that is flawless, or a service that is beyond compare. It implies a level of mastery and dedication that is truly remarkable.

Using this phrase not only conveys our admiration but also serves as a source of inspiration for others. It encourages them to strive for excellence in their own endeavors and to never settle for anything less than the best.

So, the next time you encounter something truly outstanding, don't hesitate to exclaim "Totalement excellente!" and let the world know just how impressed you are.

I'm going to embark on a manga/graphic novel adventure for a while. I'm crossing off all the series on my extensive list. There are numerous of them. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is one of my husband's favorite animes. As for me, being the person I am, I had to read the manga first, even though I'm aware they're likely quite similar. I've watched the first few episodes and I must concur with their resemblances.

The first volume doesn't really delve deep into what's going to occur. It's more of a substantial backstory to the actual storyline. There's Dio, arguably the world's biggest jerk. In my opinion, he has no legitimate reason to be like this, but that's just his nature. JoJo, on the other hand, is a true 'gentleman'. He does everything within his power to prove himself as such. Of course, the two come into conflict; you can't claim you didn't anticipate that. I feel like this was a significant setup for the plot and it progressed a bit slowly, but I don't have any genuine complaints. I can't wait to dive into volume 2! Fortunately, I've already retrieved it from the library.
