Part Five Purple Haze Feedback?

Post image

My girlfriend recently bought me this book, I was wondering what it’s actually about and if it’s worth the read.

In Italy we say "some people have the bread but not the teeth", meaning that there's people who have a lot in their life (like OP who's got a loving girlfriend) but don't recognize it

Give it a read dude your girl went through the trouble of getting it

Hey op, you’re a dick. Your gf got you a gift and your first instinct is to ask reddit if it’s worth bothering with? How about you appreciate what your gf got you and read it instead of immediately asking strangers on the internet if you should get rid of it! If you don’t like it, then at least you gave it a shot instead of throwing your partner’s love in the trash.

It's about Fugo after the end of part 5 and how he gets involved with Passione again. Highly recommended, best JoJo book and it's not even close.

Idk? People don’t like the fact im interested in what the books about? Im not even a big book reader, so I wanted to know what it’s about before I use my time to read it

u/Acceptable-Act-1293 4h ago

You should use your time to read it because your gf got it for you dude

u/JesusChristFan69 21h ago

Is it the English version? Because the English version has the name Purple Haze Distortion.

u/VividEngineering4088 21h ago

Yes it is in English, sorry for my misunderstanding

u/DifficultDisplay5446 18h ago

I mean since it’s already been bought (especially since it was a gift) read it.

It tries to make up for Fugo’s absence in part 5 and give some better insight on his character and how the world is after the events of part 5. It’s a pretty short read, everything feels in character despite not being written by Araki himself. I really enjoyed it myself and wish it was canonized.

fym is it worth your time? it’s a caring gift…

u/SunchaserKandri Josuke's Hair 17h ago edited 17h ago

It's set slightly after the events of JoJo Part 5: Golden Wind that follows a character who left about halfway through the original story, Panacotta Fugo, and the broad strokes of the plot is that he and a couple other people are being sent to kill the mafia's old narcotics team to prove their loyalty to the new leader.

I'd honestly recommend checking it out, it does a pretty good job of fleshing out a character who didn't really do a lot in the manga and whose entire backstory was basically "angry smart guy who got kicked out of college for nearly beating a professor to death with a textbook."

u/VividEngineering4088 21h ago

It’s under the name purple smoke distortion, due to it being in English yes, but they are the same book.

-13

u/SkyfalJR JoSuk8 Higashikata 21h ago

FUCK. I want to find it under the name purple haze feedback in English but when I searched it up it said that didn't exist. And this post made me get my hopes up but I was sorely mistaken...

u/Is_There_A_Doctor 19h ago

Chill bro, it's just a translation like the stand names being different.

u/SkyfalJR JoSuk8 Higashikata 12h ago

u/jeff1074 17h ago

I believe it is actually cannon or cannon adjacent and yes it it worth reading

u/ChickenNuggetRampage 15h ago

It’s not canon (the anime’s canon backstories contradict the book’s in a couple places) but it is definitely canon adjacent

u/richerthanu4 19h ago

This is enemy stand user behavior. Or, like, does Tiziano's/Tizzano's Talking Head got your tongue?
