In other news, this series is still weird

SBR #27 is up. These are SOUL'd OUT songs, aren't they, should've seen that one coming. (It occurred to me to search the video on Youtube and ahahaha something looks decidedly familiar. orz Also I guess Araki didn't unilaterally decide to dress Shinnosuke up as the wizard out of Granado Espada, they did that themselves.)

Gyro and Johnny have changed clothes! Michigan winters are no joke.

Actually I read four chapters in a shot - #24-#27, pretty much a tankoubon in itself. Uh. The plot holes are kind of glaringly massive (why don't these powerful and fearless stand users take Valentine on themselves?? if it were me I wouldn't have a hope or expectation that Lucy would rise to the occasion, the odds are too slim), but I was suitably distracted by the Conan Doyle lesbian porno. Not words I would've associated JoJo with previously, but so it goes. Porcelain shepherdesses! Decadent library books! I'd kind of missed Italians-with-pasts-of-tragic-melodrama, too (particularly serendipitous since I'd been re-reading Privilege of the Sword all day). A Swiss Guard of all things, this time.

Hot Pants is a Bride of Christ, I think; reste à savoir how literally Araki is going to interpret that. My guess is very.

Next: catching up on TRC/Holic, as per usual. XD
