Fujiko no Kimyou na Shoseijutsu: Whitesnake no Gosan

Thanks to this author for ruining one of the best protagonists of JoJo's and one of the best female characters of any manga. This thing is ecchi/soft porn and it totally degrades what it is related to, that is to say the original work. Even if it's not canon, the problem is that it gives a bad image outside the original manga, and that's the problem with this thing. This spin-off is just a kind of filler/slice of life, nothing against this idea, the problem is that it's too much turned to sexualized situations for many scenes, as well as facial expressions out of ecchi, and it's disturbing. Story1/10 : The plot nothing to say about it, it would be spoilers and it's just one chapter, I can't expand on it, just to say that it puts Jolyne in an improbable situation, like many scenes of JoJo's, except that it pushes the limits and goes against what the original work does, that is to say that we find ourselves in cliché situations of perverse ecchi scenes. It's not funny, what's the use of this thing? concretely it brings nothing to the characters/lore. It's soft porn/ecchi, it's out of Jolyne character and makes her look ridiculous when she not a soft porn ecchi character, or a cliché female character. This spin-off makes all the erotic scenes "funny" I feel like I'm reading a doujin fan fiction made by an amateur in one day so bad. If you like ecchi, and it doesn't bother you to imagine a JoJo's ecchi spin-off it will suit you, personally it is not my case, I hate ecchi. Art 3/10 : it's bad and once again classic and banal, you can find this kind of drawings anywhere, it's really amateurish and it's not transcendent at all. And this kind of "kawaii - innocent" style straight from an amateur doujin doesn't fit with JoJo's universe, it's the kind of drawings that would go well with an ordinary ecchi manga or an old manga with shounen demorgraphy that dates from 80-90's. Characters 1/10 : Completely ridiculous, it destroys the character of Jolyne, and all the work of Araki who loves his work, and who is part of his life, he himself must be biting his fingers by reading this shit. Enjoyment 1/10 : sorry I'm not a consumer of ecchi and other crap intended for weebs, and that's all this spin off is, apart from damaging the reputation of a great work, this spin-off brings nothing but a waste of time. Overall 1/10 : If you are a fan of JoJo's you can read it, to laugh or cry I guess, it's a very fast read, and it doesn't really bring anything except sexualizing a character, and turned her into a kind of ordinary ecchi girl. If you like ecchi, and you think it's funny to see a spin-off of that on JoJo's and you consider it as a not serious reading (because it's not) you'll manage to like it I think. I don't know how Hirohiko Araki could have given his authorization for this abomination, just by the unveiling of the cover I knew it was going to be bad with classic " chibi - cute " and cliché drawings. At the same time Aimoto Shou, as was an assistant for Bleach, it doesn't even surprise me that it's so bad. Personally I would have preferred that the authorization to write a spin-off be given to Sako, Toshio (author of Usogui) a fan of Araki, Araki even praised him. This kind of sexualized scenes would never happen in JoJo's, there are some scenes that are quite perverse but it's not executed in a way that it's a kind of doujin/ecchi, soft porn just because it's "funny" to see a character in this kind of situation. I swear it's the kind of people who thought that the masturbation scene was going to be animated in the anime, when it doesn't even exist in the first place, since there are no illustrations about it, just a conversation. And yes it sexualizes Jolyne, we all know what happens in the first chapter of the original manga, but is it all illustrated in an ecchi way with aheagao expressions and sexual poses? Well no, because this kind of thing is well executed and are minimal for the work, and above all it's a serious work, with a quite particular humor, and not cliché humor like "oh no senpai, I'm all wet I have to undress" - "oh this food is so delicious, insert a perverted facial expression of ahegao type". In the original manga, there are dialogues/conversations, about perverse things, but they don't last 1 chapter, and they are not illustrated in explicit and disturbing ways as here. And that's what's disturbing, the author is not even able to write a captivating story, he has to rely on the perverse scenes, for shock value. JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken: Crazy Diamond no Akuryou-teki Shitsuren is a pretty good spin-off, a little bit fan service but it works well, this is the kind of spin-off we are waiting for not this crap.

I couldn't overanalyze this if I wanted. I enjoyed seeing Jolyne again; the art style is very cute, and both the original character and stand are well-designed. There are also a few enjoyable interactions. The first thing the story conveys is that this battle wasn’t interesting enough to make it into the original run, so don’t expect an epic showdown. This is a one-shot for those scraping for anything JoJo-related and who also happen to be very horned up. I didn’t find it particularly funny, mostly just horny. If you’re okay with or even enjoy that kind of content, you’ll likely appreciate it more than I did,and it could be a fun time.

A silly, whacky short story, a different take on the bizarre franchise. There is no need to take this seriously and it was obviously never intended to be taken as such. It’s non-canon, so it doesn’t ruin everything. If you think it oversexualizes Jolyne’s character I have to remind you what were among the first acts she did at the start of the main manga. This is not that much of a stretch from the original. The basic of the plot is a BL artist using her stand to draw commissions in prison, and I think that’s a nice contemporary take on the bizarrdnesness and passesthe creative check. The one-shot also features some extra interraction between the cast that's fun to read. To address the elephant in the room, yes, there is fanservise. So if you happen to find that distasteful, you probably won’t enjoy this. That said, there is no nudity, ironically making the actual Stone Ocean manga have more hardcore fanservice than this one-shot. The art certainly isn’t bad, but it is widely different from the arstyle of both early and later JoJo. Therefore, if you’re the type of fan that thinks the original work is untouchable and any derivate that differs from it is heresy, you too won’t enjoy this. If you absolutely hate moe you also won't get a kick out of it. Overall it was an enjoyable quick read, though enjoyable only to those able to accept its silliness.
