JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 2--Battle Tendency, Vol. 1: Volume 1 Hardcover – Illustrated, 19 Nov. 2015

A Wild and Unforgettable Start to an Epic AdventureJoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Part 2 – Battle Tendency, Vol. 1 is an absolute thrill ride from start to finish. While Phantom Blood laid the foundation for the JoJo series, Battle Tendency takes things to a whole new level with a fresh protagonist, faster pacing, and even crazier fights.Joseph Joestar is a breath of fresh air compared to Jonathan—he’s cocky, witty, and unpredictable, which makes him incredibly fun to follow. His quick thinking and unorthodox battle strategies keep every encounter exciting, and his humor adds a lightheartedness that balances the intense action. Right from the start, he proves he’s not just a carbon copy of his noble grandfather; he’s something entirely different.The villains introduced in this volume set up the stakes beautifully, and you can feel that things are about to escalate in a major way. Araki’s artwork has evolved significantly, with more dynamic paneling and expressive character designs that bring the story to life. The mix of historical elements, supernatural abilities, and over-the-top fights makes for a unique blend that only JoJo can deliver.If you’re new to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, this is the volume where the series really starts to embrace its signature wildness. And if you’ve already read Phantom Blood, get ready—because Battle Tendency is where things get even crazier. Highly recommended for fans of action, strategy-driven battles, and characters with larger-than-life personalities!

JO JO JO JO JO JO JOQUALITY 100!!!I love the smell of the pages

Memorable characters and the pacing is great

A good purchase, not as entertaining as some of later books but still is very strong.

Brilliant quality hardback for one of the most bizarre adventures imaginable. Battle Tendency is an easier part to get into (Phantom Blood is great but can be a little off putting at times for newbies to the series, you still need to read it though) and the development of Araki's storytelling and illustration skill is showing from his starting point.

Fantastic book, arrived promptly, well packaged, bought for my son who loves to read and collects these books, they are for christmas to follow on the series, hes going to love them, would highly recommend, thank you.
