What is JoJolion about?
JoJolion — Following the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake, mysterious Wall Eyes erupt throughout the coastal town of Morioh. Buried beneath the ground, college student Yasuho Hirose unearths a naked young man afflicted with complete amnesia.
Dubbed "Josuke" and taken in by the eccentric Higashikata family, the four-eyed protagonist uses his bubble-spinning Stand "Soft & Wet" to uncover his true past—plunging into a lethal struggle against ancient Rock Humans seeking the miraculous Locacaca fruit.
