Morioh – what a quaint little town. Most citizens outside of it would often call it boring compared to to the larger cities in Japan, such as Tokyo and Osaka. No, this town was different, but it was a subtle difference that would only linger over your shoulder if you took the time to try and discover what the people are like, what the air feels like, how clean the water is. It's a difference that would have you wanting more once you return home from your lengthy vacation.
It had several family owned businesses, a moderately sized school which was a combination of a middle school and a high school. It was as normal and quiet as it could get, but there was always something different that came with each day, it was always something else whether it was sweet or bitter. The town practically seemed to be a living contradiction.
But this story is about the bittersweet, not one or the other. It involves a high school student named Josuke Kujo and his best friend, Koichi Hirose. It is their struggle to discover just who they really are, and what it means to be alive in the modern world – but do not confuse this with a typical story of the reckless youth.
That story was told ten years ago, in 1989, Florida. The year is 1999, and the blood running through Josuke Kujo has ultimately determined his fate – The blood of the Joestar's determines he will fight for something in his life, but he does not know what this is just yet.
On the horizon is something that the town of Morioh could not even expect. Fate deemed it fit for Josuke Kujo to face the challenges of his youth, no matter how cruel or harsh that they may seem to an ordinary person.
Josuke Kujo, for the most part, lived a normal life. If things were to change drastically, he would not reject it, but he would certainly be thrown off since nothing ever changed. His father, Jomei Kujo, had worked a normal, boring office job that brought in a decent income for the family. Truth be told, he had not bonded with his father very often, though he would tell himself every now and then that he would shape up and become a good son that his father could be proud of.
His mother, Tomoko Kujo, worked as a cook at one of the family own restaurants. Truly, this was the most normal life and family that Josuke Kujo could possibly ever wish for. He would spend his days talking with his friends.
Koichi and Yuina Hirose were his closest friends, each of them spending their high school afternoons talking and goofing off. It was the most mundane thing in the world for high school students to do stupid things, but it still made Josuke Kujo feel like he was the luckiest kid on the planet.
But normality is soon challenged, coming to an end not too long after. He would soon enter into a battle that would make him question all that he once thought was good for him, not knowing what he should do with fear dragging him down into the abyss of his mind with every single wrong turn he made.
This is the story of faith versus misanthropy.
