JoJo is now a young boy, living a happy life in his father’s mansion, standing up to people bullying girls but getting beaten up, and all that sort of mildly generic anime hero beginning stuff. Years later the story begins proper with Dio Brando the Invader. The stone mask is also revealed to have been in the carriage.
When George wakes he mistakenly believes Dario is trying to save their lives from the crash instead of stealing jewellery and pledges to repay the kindness.

Both the driver and JoJo’s mother have died in the crash. The hero of Part 1 is Jonathan Joestar, who we first meet as a baby when he is discovered by Dario Brando, an alcoholic thief, in a crashed carriage along with his father George Joestar. The Prologue of Phantom Blood opens up with a mysterious blood ritual revolving around a stone mask that seems to grant some kind of power. Not all of the Parts follow a chronological order, and some of them don’t even share the same “universe”. And hopefully in a hurry too, as there a lot of parts for us to all catch up on.įor those unfamiliar with the concept JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is a generational manga, with each Part being set in a different time period with a different protagonist, all of whom share some sort of connection to one another and have the nickname “JoJo”. But thankfully we can now begin to move on from that. The difficulty in getting it to the west has mainly been about localisation and legal issues. Part 2: Battle Tendency should follow later in the year. The first volume of Part 1: Phantom Blood has just come out, with the final two volumes scheduled for May. It’s only now, as the fantastic anime continues to air (the new one’s from 2012 onward, and isn’t related to the apparently subpar OVAs), that we are finally getting prints of Parts 1 and 2 in delicious, great looking hardback editions from Viz Media. JoJo is currently on Part 8 in Japan, and to date the only complete part published physically in the west is Part 3: Stardust Crusaders, which stars Jotaro Kujo, who is subsequently the most well-known of the “JoJo”s in the west. But the history of JoJo in the west is far from simple, and for the most part kind of unsatisfactory.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is one of the longest running and most popular manga in Japan, starting out in 1986 and still going strong to this day.
