Author's Note

Author's Note

“

JoJo's is an ode to life and a celebration of humanity. Without help from machines or technology, the main characters face danger with their bodies as their only weapon. For me it's a principle. Indeed I think that science doesn't necessarily make men happier. Besides when I was at school I detested mathematics and physics (though it's not a grudge I precise).
