Summary
The book is a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure-themed conversational English instruction guide for the Japanese demographic and is supervised by former Megadeth lead guitarist Marty Friedman. While the reader won't learn how to holler as fluently as Joseph, the non-textbook approach will help them pick up on how to speak in the manner of the series's flamboyant characters with a guide to their most quoted lines and exclamations. The book is divided into four sections and contains quotes from Phantom Blood through Diamond is Unbreakable:
- Memorable Scenes: Includes full-on dialogue between characters.
- Emotions: Covers emotional states such as fear, determination, friendship and rage.
- Heroes: Includes memorable quotes from protagonists throughout the series.
- Villains: Includes memorable quotes from antagonists throughout the series.
Unlike the majority of Japanese books, this one is read from left to right instead of the usual right-to-left format.
