Encyclopedic overview

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Japanese: ジョジョの奇妙な冒険, Hepburn: JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki. It was originally serialized in Shueisha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1987 to 2004, and was transferred to the monthly seinen manga magazine Ultra Jump in 2005. The series is divided into a total of nine main story arcs, each following a new protagonist bearing the "JoJo" nickname. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is one of the largest manga series by number of volumes, with its chapters collected in 139 tankōbon volumes as of March 2026.

From 1993 to 2002, A.P.P.P. produced a 13-episode original video animation (OVA) adapting the manga's third part, Stardust Crusaders. The studio later produced an anime film adapting the first part, Phantom Blood, which was released in theaters in Japan in February 2007. In October 2012, an anime television series produced by David Production adapting Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency premiered on Tokyo MX. As of December 2022, the studio has produced five seasons consisting of 190 total episodes, adapting through the manga's sixth part, Stone Ocean. An anime adaptation of the manga's seventh part, Steel Ball Run was announced in April 2025. A live-action film based on the fourth part, Diamond Is Unbreakable, was directed by Takashi Miike and released in Japan in August 2017.
