Synopsis
In all generations of the beautiful family of Joestars, there is a certain descendant whose name begins with the same syllable, and he gets a nickname familiar in such cases – JOJO. Since the difficult nineteenth century, the meaning of this guy's life has become the salvation of all life on Earth and the confrontation with vampires, scary zombies and even cruel serial maniacs. It all started when a man George Jostar, who lives back in the Victorian era, once confused a thief with a savior for unknown reasons, and as a result, he also took into his house the son of a "good-natured" man, whom she did not really know.
