Okay, so you’ve gone on a bizarre adventure, but as an anime watcher, you’ve only gone on a portion of that bizarre adventure. If you are looking to become a Jojo manga aficionado, I can help with that.
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Manga After Anime
Where to pick up the Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure manga after the anime really actually depends on where you read it. Jojo can be broken up into is separate arcs, so each arc would be its own manga series. In other cases, it is all just lumped into one big bag of chaos. The arcs/series are as follows in order:
- Phantom Blood (Has an anime)
- Battle Tendency (Has an anime)
- Stardust Crusaders (Has an anime)
- Diamond is Unbreakable (Has an anime)
- Golden Wind (Has an anime)
- Stone Ocean (Has an anime)
- Steel Ball Run (No anime)
- Jojolion (No anime, currently ongoing)
Stone Ocean, the most current adaptation, is finished finished. So if you want to pick up Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure with its next arc, start at Steel Ball Run, which currently has no anime. If you are reading the lumped together complete series, that would translate to Chapter 753.
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Spin-offs
As any long running series must, Jojo also has a variety of spin-offs to enjoy. It is mostly novels that build out the world.
The most notable spin-off is Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe, which also has an OVA anime. However, only chapters 5, 2, 9 and 16 were adapted, so if you have an interest, you still want to read that one from the beginning.
