Briefly about Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 7 – Steel Ball Run manga:
Sandman is the protagonist. He grew up in his native tribe. And members of that tribe accused him of being a traitor. In the hero’s tent they found books of “white” people, which he read. And the culprit himself decided to run away from his tribesmen. He was accused of betraying the laws of the tribe. But his sister tried to persuade Sandman to return home.
But the boy refused. He told his relative that he intended to gain respect in the larger world. And also to return his ancestral lands to their rightful owners. Years passed while Sandman studied the writings of the “whites.” The hero realized that money ruled the world. Those who have more of it establish their own rules and orders. And his people, too, should concentrate on the multiplication of capital. Capital could make them a great nation again.
A wealthy businessman named Stephen Steele decided to organize horse races. So, A handsome cash prize of $50 million. That was for the year 1890 a fortune. This prize attracted the attention of many athletes from around the world. And all kinds of people will decide to show up at this competition. Among them will be Native Americans.
I read the manga a long time ago, but I only got around to reviewing it now. The most important question is: is it worth reading this manga? It’s definitely worth it. The first and perhaps the most important difference between this part and the others is that the manga has become more mature. It’s noticeable in the characters, the story, the artwork. The genre itself is no longer seinen, but shounen. Araki has taken the best techniques from the previous parts and refined them, which looks very organic and interesting.
