    Think Roegadyn-type bodies. That's the sort of thing you'd see in Bara. There's usually an emphasis on making guys wide as well as muscled, so JoJo is grazing it, but not really in the same camp.

    Plus, it's characterized as made by men for men with not much thought given on whether it's appealing to women or not. JoJo is a shounen so it operates by different rules. (Or rather, started out as one, then got upgraded to Seinen). One's more LGBT-oriented and specifically meant to come across as lewd. The other is just there for "the coolness" aspect.

    Araki's art and storytelling isn't the same as Gai Mizuki, for example.
    oh I know bara.
    But JoJo is really close with their older arcs. Though post-pucci they seem to be using a more standard body types.
    Though the glam poses, the way they move, and almost everything else hadn't changed much xD

    Part 5 onwards is hard shift into The Twink Phase.
