JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, JoJo的奇妙冒险
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 Jojo no Kimyō na Bōken, alternatively translated as JoJo's Venture) is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki. It is famous for its original art style (complete with over-the-top violence), intricate plot, and numerous Western rock music references. Every main character's name in each part can be read as JoJo. The manga, published by Shueisha in their magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump, started in 1987 and went on to 2004. The current story arc was initially published in Weekly Shōnen Jump, but was moved to Ultra Jump in 2005. It is currently Shōnen Jump's second longest running manga with 94 volumes and counting (only Kochi-Kame, with 150+ volumes, has more.) It is however, the longest manga not to have a TV adaptation.
