Right, so, Jojo. I can only talk about the first two volumes, because otherwise I'd be working from summaries (meaning I'd only be repeating what others have said already).

Part 6
The protagonist of this part, Jolyne Kujo (only her mom is allowed to call her Jojo), is Jotaro's daughter and generally a good kid, though she was involved in some minor gang stuff in middle school. She and her boyfriend run over this random person and he talks her into dumping the (she thinks) dead body in a nearby swamp. (I like the part of this scene where the boyfriend says if she really loves him, she'll help him hide the evidence, and she protests that loving him and thinking they should notify the police are two different things. She capitulates eventually, though, after he lays on some more emotional blackmail.) Jolyne is only an accessory to involuntary manslaughter (with a side of conspiracy to hide the evidence), but Romeo (this is really his name!) refuses to tell the truth at the trial, and Jolyne refuses to accuse him, and she has an evil lawyer, so in the end she's sentenced to fifteen years in a maximum-security prison.

What is there to say about this? I am still waiting for the Joestar genetic predisposition toward righteousness to manifest in Johnny. If you have seen signs, plz tell me.

I am no longer in General Relativity because I no longer need it for my major, which no longer exists. :O! Luckily it's been a replaced by a new, EASIER major whose requirements I have already fulfilled -- and then some. Of course, what the hell I'm going to do with a History/Interdisciplinary Physics double-major and no work experience is a totally different story. Beg my father to put in a good word, I suppose. XD; I'd like to go on to grad school because I'd like to NOT LEAVE SCHOOL anytime soon, but I can't think of any program I am actually qualified to apply for.
