Ahaha right!? Monthly with Jojolion was painful, especially when there were so many mysteries (glares at One Piece) to worry about and the plot was gettting interesting but also during the downtimes too. Monthly in general just sucks for us but is much better for the mangakas at least logically ofc? I dont mind that compromise if greatly helps mangakas out as it should. Might help to improve the story as a result too?
Araki is genuinely unreal, I dont know how he does it but hes definitely superhuman and passione I mean passionate to the ultimate degree, its truly inspiring.
The monthly pacing is why i've not bothered with Jojolands either yet, I want to get into it but it was so painful following JJL Monthly, that I might get frustrated if I dont just wait and binge it far later when its WAY more further in the story or I have to force myself to just not get too invested and casually follow it monthly.
Doesn't help Jojolion felt like it ended prematurely and with that weird ending too and some unresolved plotlines and such.
I hate his new realistic, same face art style too, especially from Part 7 onwards BUT honestly, Araki's art has only gotten better AFAIK and its improvement from how he started, just like with other mangaka including Kubo for example is STAGGERING and massively impressive!
Jojolands seems like it will be great and I will get into it sooner or later, temptation will make me cave in too lol.
Araki is such a phenomental artist, I do love his toning/shading/atmosphere and all those nitty gritty details in general. I would even dare to call it high art tbh. (Also high art in the sense you need to be high to understand his plots and fights truly, especially if you dont watch the anime too lmao)
