Part 5 Vento Aureo

The "Passione" gang: part 5's protagonists
We're not at Part 5 Vento Aureo. Vento Aureo is Italian for "Golden Wind." This story line also happens to take place in Italy. We follow a very unique JoJo this time, Giorno Giovanni A.K.A. GioGio... the son of DIO! Dio during his time in part 3 had apparently indulged around the world and left behind some offspring. However due to Dio's body being borrowed from Jonathan Joestar (the original JoJo) this boy possess the blood of both and thus the fate of both men. He is to live a bizarre life and also possess fantastic powers. GioGio was very interested in the mafia after an encounter with them during his child hood and strives to become a "Gangster Star" which is a gangster that only does crimes for the good of the people they protect. Whether or not that's an actual thing I have no clue. GioGio grows up and eventually joins Passione and works with a gang of boys (yes they're all boys) around his age. He soon gets a peculiar mission to escort a mysterious girl to his mafia boss. During so he is forced to fight against rival gangs all of which have stand powers. Luckily his gang is full of gifted stand users to help him fight back!

The story returns to the darker tones the previous arcs have had with lots more people dying. Game of Thrones could still learn a thing or too about killing off popular characters. It has the travel aspect that the previous arcs had as well. The gang goes on an adventure all over Italy traveling to many interesting cities.

As you may have picked up from the picture above the art style continues to develop more androgynous and now the clothes they characters wear have become more flamboyant and peculiar. It can be hard. Another interesting addition to the story is now stands can interact with their users. Some of them talk and even eat.

One of the biggest issues with this manga is that it has been poorly translated in the states and a lot of people have difficulty comprehending the dialogue from what translations have been put up online. However it is definitely worth trying to read because like all the parts its very interesting but also the art style is much more exciting too. Hope you guys give it a chance!
