I get it! It's huge, and intimidating, and yes - bizarre. (Ba-dum psssh!) But as others have said, the parts are pretty disconnected from each other, so digest it one bit at a time and take it slowly. (And 7 and the currently-running 8 are AU compared to 1-6, and 5 doesn't really refer to many characters from other parts though it does expand on concepts from 3 and 4).

But I'm not going to pressure you into reading it - I can't decide how you spend your time. Do keep in mind that if you participate in the fandom in any way you WILL be spoiled (and sometimes quite horribly so) about later parts whether or you like it or not unless you are very, VERY careful about sticking entirely to events relevant to Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency, and that this will only get worse when the new fighting game All Stars Battle comes out. If you're okay with not reading the canon but knowing all the spoilers so you can participate in fandom, I personally think that's okay too.

Also keep in mind that everything changes from part 3 onwards in a BIG way in terms of Araki's artistic style and plot focus. It may just be that the rest of JJBA isn't quite your thing (though I encourage you to give it a chance anyway). It also may just be that you end up devouring it all eventually while still holding onto Battle Tendency as your favorite. ...oh wait, that's just me.

Regardless, whenever you're ready, get spoiled and/or get reading! This fandom is wonderful as I've seen it so far. (Disclaimer: I'm a participant on the spoiler-heavy JJBA Twitter RP, and I love every damn second of it, and I DON'T recommend following it until you're familiar with major characters from all eight parts.)
