(Part 2) Top products from r/StardustCrusaders

In regards to spoilers, I think it's important to note that there's some things which are going to be spoiled no matter what you do. This thing's been out for several years now, so some stuff will be spread around, especially from Stardust Crusaders. It's easy for those of us who've read it already to forget that the details of Dio's Stand were a significant plot point. It's best to treat some things like the conclusion of The Empire Strikes Back, and accept that though they may not be surprising, it's still quite a ride to go through.

For reading the manga, things are kind of up in the air at the moment. Officially, there's only Stardust Crusaders in English so far, with Jojonium on the way, and though everything is translated in one form or another, Parts 3 and 5 still have subpar chapters, and we see a new one updated every couple of weeks on bato.to, so there's no big collected download for those parts in decent quality. It may be a good idea to emphasize supporting the official release; as that's the only way we'll get more translated officially. Related to that, it's probably a good idea to point out the name changes in the translation. Some people are very sensitive about that, so maybe let them know that there are fansub groups for the anime, though that doesn't support the official release.

Unfortunately, the books seem to be the easiest thing to buy; the anime is spread across fifteen volumes, all of which are fairly costly, and there's no stateside release yet. It's all on Crunchyroll, and you could buy a premium membership if you want to support it, but I think there's some debate on whether or not that's really worth it. Apart from that, the most common merch would be the figures, with the Super Action Statue line being poseable, smaller figures, and the Statue Legends line being larger, static, and more detailed. Might be worth looking for someone to give you more precise terminology. There's other things floating around though, like this beautiful piece of work.

The games are pretty easy, but it may be worth including something like this Pastebin of instructions on how to get Heritage for the Future running with Fightcade. I have no idea if that actually works or anything, but there are ways to get HftF running on PCs.

When it comes to introducing Jojo to people I think the anime is pretty much the best option. I tend to use this clip when showing off what it's about. It's not much of a spoiler, and works really well as a barometer for whether or not they'll be into the series as a whole.

Something that might be worth including is the various unofficial attempts at making a Jojo tabletop game that have happened over the years. This seems to be the most complete one, but someone else might have a better idea. A FAQ might also be a good idea; I.E. What order should I read them in, why did they replace the Ripple, how does King Crimson work.

I got it new from Amazon. The 2 volumes costed me 19.49 dollars without the shipping. with standard shipping to Israel(where I live)it costed me 26.46 dollars. I also activated the free trial for amazon prime to get a discount. So I guess that if you live closer to America(or "Amazon.com Services, Inc.") then you should get it for even cheaper.

You can buy him the actual manga(like this one for example) though there aren't any Josuke ones(aka Part 4 mangas) in English yet but its nice especially if he hasn't read the manga yet and the covers are cool plus they aren't too expensive.

The English releases started coming out in 2005, here is volume 1 and the rest are on Amazon and I believe Barnes & Noble sells them too.

of course not!

According to an old interview, at 5:40, he uses a Pentel G-pen/dip pen for lines, and multiple fudepens. You can see closeups of the fudepens at 6:16. I've been trying to get a perfect match on them, but he never shows them in plain view.

This kind of looks like the fudepen, but the stickers are off.

There's some on Amazon, here's two examples.

The second one comes with some Green Tea thing for some reason. So if you want a snack...

You could just get them from amazon DE? Here?

You can from Amazon.

Vol 1

Vol 2

They haven't said that, but it seems likely.

Araki's manga making guide and the new English blu-rays use the same style as the JoJoniums. The manga guide is particularly notable on this subject because it had a very different cover in Japan, but Viz specifically changed it to match the JoJoniums when they published it in North America.

So I imagine that their current plan is to keep the JoJonium format going when they start publishing Part 4 and onwards, even though there's no Japanese JoJonium covers for those parts. But that's not confirmed, and these plans could definitely change by then.

It does have an official translation :

If it were me, being the fan of Yoshikoge that I am, I'd get him one of those figures of Killer Queen. Like this one.

It's also something I really wouldn't mind getting, but I can't swear that he would feel the same.
