When I was introduced to the Jojo series I had a hard time adapting to the visual style and universe.
I tried watching the anime with no great success, the story interested me however.

Then I started reading the manga and began to enjoy Araki's style.
I got to Stardust Crusaders and got really hyped about the stands, it was a brand new way of fighting in mangas I discovered, and it was very exciting, I wanted to read more.

Then I arrived at Diamond Is Unbreakable, and I thought "omg jjba is the best manga in the world".
The art, story arcs, characters, main villain, Morioh Town, everything blends perfectly and gives that masterpiece.

And so it went on reading Golden Wind and Stone Ocean, I has as much enjoyment as for DIU, and when I arrived at the end of Stone Ocean, which I will try not to spoil here, I was not too sure about the way the story evolved.

And I began reading Steel Ball Run, and I think it is one the greatest things that have happened in my life this far.
It's weird to explain, but it's as if my life had changed ever since I finished reading it, it may sound ridiculous, but that manga had a deep impact on me.
The further I went into the story and the more I wanted to read.
The first chapters seemed quite long and boring, even though the concept was highly interesting, and as I got around volume 5 it became pure craziness, I just couldn't stop reading, I remember waking up at night just to read one more chapter.

I can't explain how great that manga is, you have to read it right now!
