Review # 2 was written on 2019-07-28 00:00:00 David Holt I stayed up pat 3 AM reading this volume. In all honesty, I cannot recall the last time I've done that for a manga. So this review is going to be more gushing than anything. I absolutely love Hanged Man. He is such a creative monster. I'm shocked this concept hasn't been used in some sort of horror movie to massive acclaim. This guy could be a staple monster trope, alongside Freddy Krueger and Chucky. He's freaky because you can never be sure there's not something reflective somewhere. A monitor that hasn't been turned on; a freshly mopped floor; a shiny window in a crowded city; someone's glasses. This guy can come at you from so many angles- there's so much you have to consider. And the sheer cleverness in having him reflect in people's eyes is only topped by how Kakyoin gets out of that situation. He taps into our social anxieties- our fear of being the center of attention. And the longer people stare at you, the closer you are to a horrible death. It's amazing. And Hol Horse is just a ton of fun. A sleazy cowboy who runs away the minute things aren't in his favor. And he just shouts "I'm running away because I love you. And I will love you forever." This guy doesn't even try to hide the fact that he's a flake- it's great. Joseph vs the Empress was pretty fun. Any time grandpa Joseph is the focus is a good time. It's a nice treat to see him still try to use hamon in this new world of stands. He's like the last holdout of a forgotten practice. Wheel of Fortune is a nice mixup, using car-based combat and involving the entire party for once. I had a lot of fun with this volume. It hits on a nice variety of enemy designs, creating a breadth of tones between each encounter that never clash.
