JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 2 - Battle Tendency #1

This volume collects the first half of the Battle Tendency story arc from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, picking up where Phantom Blood left off. It follows Joseph Joestar, the brash and resourceful grandson of Jonathan, as he learns to harness the Ripple (Hamon) to combat the ancient Pillar Men—superhuman beings awakening from millennia of slumber. Originally serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump in the late 1980s, this edition presents the manga in the original right-to-left reading format with a new translation by Viz Media.
