Hirohiko Araki is one of the most famous artists in the immense manga sector, and since her debut in 1980 she has attracted the attention of many fans and with her achieved world fame Jojo’s bizarre adventure, his absolute main work, and with impressive success.
Today, January 1st, 2022, the beginning of the joestars’ generational adventure celebrates 35 years since it was first published on the pages of the famous Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. To celebrate this important milestone, NHK has released the latest data on the number of copies in circulation for the entire Araki-signed series. As reported in the article below, there are currently approx. 120 million volumes about the story of Jonathan, Joseph, Jotaro and all the other eccentric protagonists who marked the generation transition from one part of the saga to another.
While such a number may seem ridiculous compared to ONE PIECE’s extraordinary results, come on newest demon slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and My Hero Academia, it is interesting to note that Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is a 35-year-old work in which it has changed several times, both from a narrative point of view, but above all from a narrative point of view a stylistic perspective that has been innovated and distorted several times by Araki himself.
What do you think of this result? Tell us as usual in the comments.
