1: 侵略者ディオ・ Invader Dio
SPECIAL NOTE- This may be different for other editions, but the tankobun vol 1 has limited furigana. Some of the most common kanji lack furigana. Most of JoJo has full furigana. I am not sure when it changes or if it gradually became more included. I will try to research it. If you have trouble figuring it out, please check the vocab sheet or ask.

Discussion Guidelines
Spoiler Courtesy
Please follow these rules to avoid inadvertent spoilers. Some folks are reading JoJo for the first time and have never watched the anime either. If you’re unsure whether something should have a spoiler tag, err on the side of using one.
-
Any potential spoiler for the current week’s reading need only be covered by a spoiler tag. Predictions and conjecture made by somebody who has not read ahead still falls into this category.
-
Any potential spoilers for external sources need to be covered by a spoiler tag and include a label (outside of the spoiler tag) of what might be spoiled. These include but are not limited to: other book club picks, other books, games, movies, anime, etc. I recommend also tagging the severity of the spoiler (for example, I may still look at minor spoilers for something that I don’t intend to read soon).
-
Any information from later in the volume or series than the current week’s reading (including trigger warnings that haven’t yet manifested) needs to be hidden by spoiler tags and labeled as coming from later sections. For other Parts, please label the Part before the spoiler, for example “Well we know 2 [character] survives because they’re in a later Part”
Instructions for Spoiler Tags
Click the cog above the text box and use either the “Hide Details” or “Blur Spoiler” options. The text which says “This text will be hidden” should be replaced with what you are wishing to write. In the case of “Hide Details”, the section in the brackets that is labeled “Summary” can be replaced with whatever you like also (i.e, [details=”Chapter 1, Pg. 1”]).
Hide Details results in the dropdown box like below:
Example
This is an example of the “Hide Details” option.
The “Blur Spoiler” option will simply blur the text it surrounds.

Comprehension questions for Chapter 1: 侵略者ディオ・プロローグ (Participation is totally optional! Included as comprehension and discussion points)
What’s different about Dario’s (Dio’s father) speech patterns from standard textbook Japanese? What might it hint at?
At the carriage accident, how does the woman with Dario feel about his actions?
What does Dario order Dio do? How does Dio feel about it?
What kind of family are the Joestars?
What reason does Jonathan give for standing up for Erina?
What unforgivable thing does Dio do?
Poses dramatically 
But I guess it’s more like he looks down on his father for being pathetic.
