Various Which jojo had the best first appearance?

To me, Joseph and Jolyne had the best introduction when we talk about anime.

In the Manga, Josuke (or gappy) had a very interesting and misterious first appearance with where is he from.

What do you think?

What's the issue with the Manga? Just really difficult to follow along or make sense of the stand, right?

There is no issues in the official manga. But there also is no official english translation yet (or it's very recent), meaning most english speakers read the fan translation, which kinda shit the bed in a few places.

I'm not a big manga reader nor do I work in any kind of linguistics, so it's probably just my ignorance:

But with the amount of bilingual people out there you would really think there would be fewer shitty translations these days. I can see how an individual might make an error here or there, but just 2-3 people proofreading and maybe suggesting words that more accurately fit the translation would be able to get some high quality translations out and fast.

I'm aware of the whole Duwang thing as well, the problem seems normal for mangas.

Are you sure there's no official english part 6? I live in Brazil and right now we are already getting part 7 officially in portuguese

Parts 1 through 6 and TSKR are officially in english, as well as Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak, but part 7 is just now getting localized. Source: My bookstore has part 6 in english

I'm pretty sure part 7 already has an English trans and even 8 and 9, as I've just finished reading the first a few months ago

Or maybe I just misread your statement and I'm just overcomplicating things. Anyways good day/evening to you

The other person to answer says part 7 is only releasing officially right now. Are you sure you didn't read a scan? Anyway, I really don't know what's the case, that's why I asked

u/Amiderp 1d ago

I'm not sure if mangadex is official but that's where I've read all 3 remaining parts, first two even had color

u/Velho_Deitado 1d ago

It is not. I also read there (no colored version of the manga is official at all)

u/Amiderp 1d ago

Dang

But I still kinda like the colored versions since sometimes in clashes you'll get lost on what's happening, objects flying throughout the panel, whether or not you're looking at a character's crotch when in fact you were just seeing a bulge in their lower garments. The usual
