JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Part 4, Diamond Is Unbreakable. 4, by Hirohiko Araki

In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4 Issue #4, by  Hirohiko Araki, high schooler Josuke Higashitkata, who has the stand known as Crazy Diamond.n this issue, Josuke, and his fellow stand buddies face up against unforeseen enemy stand users, which include but are not limited to manga artists who can rewrite memories and physical and mental states, as well as change fate itself, a child who can collect, inject, and disperse by commanding his stand to his liking, and even rats who could melt the body of the organism it shoots. Nonetheless, despite these stands, users seem like imminent death, Josuke and his companions fight them off for now, however, it is revealed there is now another mysterious serial killer who has been active for 15 years ago.

Josuke's expressions during the rat fight are like a 1950s Disney cartoon where it seems so simple and goofy compared to the detailed facial expressions commonly seen in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series. In my opinion, out of the six parts of JoJo that I know of, Josuke is the most facially expressive character regarding emotions and comedy. There are also interactions between the manga artist and Josuke's friends, where their memories are read and used as material for his manga. Not only that, but the artist also explored the weaknesses and secrets and even found out why no one ever insults Josuke's hair!
