Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
Hirohiko Araki (Japanese: 荒木飛呂彦 Hepburn: Araki Hirohiko, born June 7, 1960 in Sendai, Miyagi) is a Japanese manga artist. He made his debut under the name Toshiyuki Araki (荒木利之 Araki Toshiyuki) in 1980 with his one-shot Poker Under Arms, and began his professional career with the short series Cool Shock B.T., Baoh, and The Gorgeous Irene. Araki is best known for his long-running series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, first published in Weekly Shōnen Jump in 1986 and which to date has sold over 80 million copies in Japan alone. The story frequently references rock music and Italy, both of which Araki is reportedly very fond of.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 23, 2014

Verified Purchase

I'm probably one of the few people not introduced to Jojo via Stardust Crusaders, and coming into Phantom Blood cold is probably for the best, as I hear by the time JoJo's third iteration rolls around thing are rather a bit different.

What's here though, in volume 1 of Jojo is the start of something really interesting, albeit not quite to the meat and potatoes of the matter. In fact it ends at a really awkward place, it really should have gone one chapter (or two) more. But overall it does a great job at setting the tone this series is going to take.

Artistically the book is really interesting. Taking a page right out of Fist of the Northstar, where men are giant slabs of meat. And the violence always comes with buckets. The art is a bit rough, as it so often is for such a long running series that started in the late 80s. But that rawness is part of its charm. To see an artist evolve over decades will be this series's greatest treat.

As for the rating... I'd have given it 5 stars if the Amazon Kindle version wasn't plagued with such image compression on its color pages. Major appearances of pixilated 'crush' can be seen everywhere. I don't know if this unique to Amazon's version, and if it looks better on ComiXology or directly from Viz. Or if Viz just didn't care when putting out their digital copy files. But it sure is unnecessarily ugly. Which is a terrible shame. The one thing a mostly black and white graphic novel should have is uncompressed art.

EDIT 2017 - I have adjusted my rating from 4 Stars to 5 Stars. Since writing this review Viz and Amazon have provided a ComiXology version of the digital version of this book as part of the purchase of the Kindle version. Examining that version of the book I can say that my concerns with color compression have been alleviated, and can say the book looks amazing in digital HD on ComiXology. I have not checked the Kindle version for comparison, so I don't know if that version has been improved. But since I read all of my Kindle graphic novel purchases on ComiXology its irrelevant for my purposes.

Great price/binding/read/finally in English, (Japanese ver. So slightly different)

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 28, 2020

I really didn't know what I was getting into when I wasntold to read this series by a few friends. I'm not big big into manga, but i have a deep obsession with Junji Itos work, and the grandfather of modern manga Osamu Tezuka. I prefer it in its original language but English is. Ok. The stories in JoJo are very "western" in a good not copying. Not a foolish try hard way, or in your face way. After reading The Promised Neverland in full (amazing read) this is a nice Ito, short story -esk feel to it. [ALTHOUGH P.N.L. is not Ito] pardon poor English, I am from Japan.

Viz can sometimes make not so great book covers on their hardcover books. Inhave 3 Tomie Omnibus's all spine damaged, and I bhave a strong understanding of book care and maintenance, luckily PVA worked for now. The older Museum Of Terror in EN iirc, are easier and more compact anyway, but also more sought after.

I digress. The books great. Its dark but not"MW" Yuki dark (the things he does are too real, thenstory is, too good, MW May be my favorite manga/graphic novel if you can handle violence, and things I cant type due to the nature of the things Yuki does are so warped and horrifically genious.

In summation, if you want quality English JoJo, its cheap for the hardcover and there is anlot of material over the years the series has been in circulation, its been and still is majorly respected in Japan.
So odd to see the other countries of this world getting into it now. 7780s

One of the best mangas of all time

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 20, 2020

Verified Purchase

I was very skeptical about diving into the world of Jojo. I never was a huge anime fan growing up and I had a hard time reading mangas because I would go through book and book to find minor plot development in each one which frustrated me. I got this book because my friend told me there were only 3 volumes in this part. First thing to note is that jojo is unlike any manga or anime that you watched before, characters are fully fleshed out and each part will focus on a new main character with some older characters possibly coming back as side characters. This book is very strange, the writing is very reminesint of grant Morrisons work with many "bizarre" circumstances happening to our characters. The book still takes itself seriously however, even at times can be very emotional. This book was so good, i would even recommend this series to my parents who absolutely hate anime and Japanese culture because it is that good. Araki is a genius at storytelling, there is filler but it is so engaging and unique that it is not a con but a pro in this series! I wont spoil anything but if you want a book that will get you emotionally invested the same way as Harry Potter or LOTR, you need to get into this series.

Watched the anime and I wanted to read the manga it's great! My only complaint is that it's a bit costly for how fast you can read it, but you can really see the difference and there is more details/sences than the show.

Love the manga, issues with book's condition

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on December 7, 2020

Love the manga series. Highly recommended Araki's work.

However, this being a collector's edition and given the asking price, I would've expected Amazon to check the condition of the book before dispatching it.
There's a gash on the front cover and pen marks on the back cover.
The harcover itself is a bit bent at places. Would have expected seller and Amazon to rectify these before sending the copy.

Old Grim's Reviews

The beginning of an epic journey though the history of the Joestar bloodline.

Reviewed in Australia 🇦🇺 on March 19, 2019

Verified Purchase

A bit of backstory on how I ended up binge buying the entire JoJo's manga collection: When I first saw images pop up from time to time throughout the years I thought JoJo's was nothing more than a rip off of one of my favorite IPs ever in Fist of the North Star. Purely going on character designs and so forth. However in March of 2018 I discovered one of my favorite voice actors in Matt Mercer would be voicing the third JoJo character; so having been finally intrigued enough to finally take a gamble on JoJo's I bought the first three collections of these manga hardcovers, the first Arc, from AmazonAU and to my surprised: I absolutely loved it. The only thing it has in common with my beloved Fist of the North Star is a slight visual aesthetic, other than that: they are poles apart.
JoJo's, even by today, is aptly named: Bizarre. It is utterly unique in its setting, tone and story craft. You have your unique take on martial arts, a horror element, great character development, even if Dio can be a touch cliche, and a story that wants to keep moving forward while not taking itself too seriously.
JoJo's has been around since 1987 and is still going strong, so now is as good a time as any to start your own journey to witness the bizarre adventures of the Joestar's.
As this first volume is more about setting up events I do recommend buying the first three volumes to finish the first Arc and binge read it like I did. JoJo's is well worth adding to your collection, and you will soon find yourself buying the next four volumes to complete the second Arc before you even finish the first; as I did!
