JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Shueisha Comic Bunko (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 集英社文庫 コミック版, JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken Shūeisha Bunko Komikku-ban) is a novel-sized release (commonly referred to as Bunkoban in Japan) of the first seven parts of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga that was published by Shueisha Comic Bunko.

Summary

Each bunkoban volume is 105 mm (4.1 in) by 148 mm (5.8 in) (A6 size), printed on standard quality paper. Though smaller than the standard tankōbon in both height and width, each bunkoban volume contains more pages and chapters than the volumes in the standard release. The release of the bunkoban edition began with the release of Phantom Blood, now compiled into three volumes, on February 15, 2002. The next five Parts were gradually released over the next seven years, with the series reaching 50 volumes in total. The final volume of Stone Ocean was released on February 18, 2009.

On August 31, 2012, all 12 bunkoban volumes of Diamond is Unbreakable were made available digitally as the monochrome line of JOJO-D. the digitally released edition of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. Distributed under Shueisha's Jump Comics DIGITAL (ジャンプコミックスDIGITAL) product line, the JOJO-D release allows readers to digitally purchase or read volumes through online outlets. Volumes can also be downloaded to mobile devices through Shueisha's own Jump Store app for iOS and Android. Vento Aureo and Stone Ocean were made available in the following weeks, and Parts 1-3 were made available on September 21, 2012.

Steel Ball Run: Shueisha Comic Bunko (スティール・ボール・ラン 集英社文庫 コミック版, STEEL BALL RUN Shūeisha Bunko Komikku-ban) is the bunkoban release of Steel Ball Run. The first two volumes of this edition were released on February 17, 2017, with the remaining 14 volumes again released over time. The final two volumes were both released on January 18, 2018. Unlike Parts 1-6, JOJO-D digitally published the tankōbon release of Steel Ball Run rather than the bunkoban release, a decision that extended to JoJolion.

About the Paperback Edition

This work, "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," runs from Part 1 through Part 6, and although each part is connected to the others by a single bloodline, each story is told by a different protagonist.
In addition, each part was originally supposed to have a subtitle.

Subtitles:
Part 1: Phantom Blood
Protagonist: Jonathan Joestar
Part 2: Battle Tendency
Protagonist: Joseph Joestar
Part 3: Stardust Crusaders
Protagonist: Jotaro Kujo
Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable
Protagonist: Josuke Higashikata
Part 5: Vento Aureo
Protagonist: Giorno Giovanna
Part 6: Stone Ocean
Protagonist: Jolyne Cujoh

I thought about adding a subtitle when beginning Part 3, but the editorial department told me that if I suddenly added a subtitle, the comic would have two different titles (one without a subtitle and one with a subtitle), which would leave readers impossibly confused. With that instruction from the editorial department, I decided, "Okay, no subtitle," and held myself back.

However, when it came time for Part 6 of the series, the editorial department suggested that I publish it as a new series under the title of Stone Ocean in order to bring out the novelty of the series. In other words, the title of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure would no longer be used. As an author, I thought, "Absolutely not." My image of it was JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 6: Stone Ocean. After some discussion, we decided to just make the phrase Stone Ocean bigger. In other words, it's like the difference between Indiana Jones and Star Wars. The main title of Indiana Jones is larger, while in Star Wars, the subtitle is larger. That's the difference.

And so, with the release of the paperback edition, I was finally able to add the subtitles I had thought about back then for each part. Moreover, I made sure that each part ends on the last page of a book, rather than in the middle of the book. The theme of the entire work is "an ode to humanity." Whether friend or foe, every character "faces the future." There probably isn't a single human being in the story who has any doubts about life. The main characters must overcome those people as enemies.

And so must you, dear readers. What is absolutely necessary is "courage."

サブタイトルは第３部の時点で付けよっかなと考えたのだが、そのタイトルをいきなり付けると、コミックスにおいて付けてないのと「２種類」出る事になるので読者が混乱し不可能である。――との編集部からの指示があり、「なるほどそフなのか」とやめる事にした。
ところが第６部の時点になって、目新しさを出すためタイトルを「ストーン・オーシャン」で新連載しよつと編集部から言って来た。つまり「ジョジョの奇妙な冒険」というタイトルはなくなる事に。
作者的には「それはヤだ」と思った。自分のイメージは『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険６・ストーン・オーシャン』なのだ。で、話し合いの結果「ストーン・オーシャン」の文字を大きくしてという事で、落ち着いた。つまり『インディ・ジョーンズ』と『スターウォーズ』の違いだ。『インディ・ジョーンズ』はメインタイトルの方が大きく、『スターウォーズ』はサプタイトルの方が大きい。その違いというわけだ。
……で、文庫化にあたって、各部にやっと前から考えてあった「サブタイトル」を付ける事が出来た。しかも各部の終了も本の途中にならないようにキチッと最終ページに来るように。
作品全体のテーマは「人問讃歌」。登場人物は敵も味方も全員が「前向き」である。生きる事に疑問を持つ人間はたぶんひとりも出て来てないはずである。主人公たちはそういうヤツらを相手に乗り越えて行かねばならない。

そして読者のみなさんも。

絶対に必要なものは〝勇気〟だ。

About the Memories that Inspired JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

I don't think about it a lot these days, but when I was a boy, I used to talk with my friends about which monsters were our favorites. Statements like "Frankenstein's monster harbors sorrow over its own creation," or "Werewolves are explosions of the primal instincts deep inside human beings," felt as serious to me as the question of "Will there be a nuclear war in the future?"

For my part, the monster that fascinated me most was, by far, the vampire. The dark aristocratic background and fashionable coolness of vampires were what drew me to them. I was also attracted to the fact that they live by certain rules, which I found fascinating because of their intellectual aesthetic.

Like a martial artist who runs 10 kilometers a day and eats scraps of chicken for protein, the most compelling monsters are strong creatures who live by their own rules and believe that, as long as those rules remain unbroken, they will never face misfortune. (Incidentally, I also tend to think like that sometimes. When I was a child, I was told by an acquaintance that toothpaste contains abrasives that grind and whiten your teeth, and from then on I believed that brushing my teeth with toothpaste would cause cavities. Even now, I still live by a rule of only using water when brushing my teeth. I don't have any cavities, though.)

Speaking of rules, I've been told it's surprising, but I really love sports manga, and what makes sports manga so interesting is the rules they follow. In other words, I believed that the story of a manga must follow its own rules. And so, I firmly decided to create a story based on the rules of vampires, which I adore.

"So, it'll be about vampires, but it'll be more powerful than that, too... How should I put it? It'll be like an ode to humanity."

When I said that to my editor at the time, he replied: "That sounds cheap. But then again, I have even darker tastes than you do. Let's do it."
That was how JoJo first began to take shape.

『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険』を執筆し始めるに至った思い出話について

最近はあんまリ考えなくなったんだけれど、少年時代はよく「〝モンスター〟の中で何が一番好きか？」なんて事を友人たちとかと話したりしたもので……。「フランケンシュタインの怪物は生まれて来た者の悲しみがある」だとか「狼男は人間の奥に潜む原始の本能の爆発だ」とか、それはそれは核戦争は将来起きるのか？と同じくらい大マジメに考えたものだ。

そのモンスターの中で最も魅力的だったのは自分の場合、やはリ〝吸血鬼〟だった。ダークな貴族の背景とファッション的にカッコイイのが吸血鬼入門のきっかけ。そして何といっても彼らはルールに従って生きている所が、知的な美学につながっていてシビれると感じたのだ。

一日10キロのランニングと鳥肉のササミでタンパク質をとる拳法家のよフに、強い生物はルールに従って生きていて、ルールを破らない限リ、自分は不幸な事態に陥ることはないと信じてる所が、とっても引き込まれるモンスターだった（ちなみに自分にもそういう所があって、子供の時に「歯みがき粉には研磨剤ってのが入ってて、歯をけずって白くしてんだぞ」と知り合いに言われて以来、歯みがき粉をつけて歯をみがくと虫歯になると思い込んでおり、未だに歯ブラシを使フ時は水だけってルールがある。虫歯はないけど）。

……で、ルールといえば「意外ですね」とよく言われるんだけど、わたしはスポ根マンガが大好きで、スポーツマンガはそのルールがあるからおもしろいのだ。

つまりマンガのストーリーはルールにのっとって進行しなければならないと考えたわけだ。そして大好きな吸血鬼のルールをテーマに話を創っていってみようと強く思い立ったのである。

「あのですね、吸血鬼をですね、もっとこうパワフルにして、なんて言うかなぁー　生命讃歌なんですよ」
当時の編集者にそう言うと、
「マイナーだなぁ」
「でも、オレ実は君以上にダーク趣味なの。それやろう」…てことで『ジョジョ』を創リ始めていったわけ……。

Battle Tendency Last Volume Afterword

“

What kind of era was the late 1980s, the period in which Part 2: Battle Tendency was drawn as part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure? It's important to consider what kind of impact that has on the process of drawing manga.

First of all, what kind of films were being made? Sound effects and makeup had come a long way, but in spite of that, the number of great horror movies had decreased. Although the number of horror films I liked had dwindled, the number of books about real-life serial killers and the like were increasing. As far as music goes, I found myself fascinated by Prince, whose "black music" exuded a strange and exotic atmosphere in every song he wrote. In art and design, although fashion was usually thought of as beautiful and elegant, fashion designers like Versace and Moschino had begun to emerge. I wondered whether people saw their designs as "cool" or not, and whether European women actually wore clothes like theirs. Around this time, I realized that there's a big difference between how you see a place in books or on TV and what you actually see with your own eyes when you go there. For example, in Europe, there are many strange gardens and sculptures that have been carefully preserved. I went to some of these places expecting to be scared witless, but I actually found myself at ease and found that strange things tend to calm my heart. Strange things are eccentric at the time, but after some time they might turn out to be great things. I realized that both righteousness and darkness are part of a true "ode to humanity," and I decided to depict them both in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

The question that Parts 1 and 2 of JoJo have asked, "How strong can a human being become?" shifts its focus from the ultimate body to the ultimate spirit in Part 3: Stardust Crusaders. I began drawing thinking the part would end after depicting 22 characters (since there are 22 tarot cards), and yet...

第２部「戦闘潮流」を描いていた頃の1980年代後半とは『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険』にとって、いったいどんな時代だったのだろうか？　ちょっとそんな事を考えるのもマンガを描く上で、大切な事だと思う。

まず、どんな映画をやっていたのだろフか？　ＳＦＸとかスペシャルメイクの技術はすごく発達して来たのだけれども、それに反してどういうわけか、傑作ホラー映画の数は減ってきていたよっに思う。大好きなホラー映画が少なくなって、実在の殺人鬼とかの著作物が増え始めたのだ。「音楽」では奇妙な異国情緒が曲の端々からかもし出されてくるブラックミュージック“プリンス”に夢中になった。「美術・デザイン」では普通、美しいとかエレガントとかいったイメージのデザインに思われていたファッションデザインで、“ヴェルサーチ”とか、“モスキーノ”というデザイナーが出現して来て、カッコいいとかこんのアリなの？と思われるよっな感動があって、ヨーロッパの女性はこんな服着たりするわけ？とか思った。「旅行」では、本やテレビで見るのと、実際行って自分の目で見るのは大違いだなという、あたり前の事にこの頃気がつき取材旅行の影響力を知った。たとえばヨーロッパには、怪奇な庭園だとか奇妙な彫刻だとかが大切に残されているのだが、さぞや恐ろしいだろっと想像して行ってみると、それは不思議に心の落ちつく所で怪奇なものとは心をおだやかにさせてくれると気づいた。奇妙なものとはその時点では変なものだが、時間がたつといいものなのかもしれない。正しいものも暗黒なものも全て「人問讃歌」なのだなと思い『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険』にはこれらを描くのだと決心したのだ。

ジョジョの第1部、第2部で追求して来た“人間はどこまで強くなれるのか？”という間いは、究極の肉体から究極の精神へと、第3部「スターダストクルセイダース」から踏み込んでいく事になる。これが、“主人公”ＶＳ“敵の数”――22人くらいで（タロットカードの数22枚）終わるだろうと思って描き始めたんだけど………。

Stardust Crusaders Last Volume Afterword

“

When I was a child, I used to fight with my younger twin sisters. Whenever I got into a fight with one of them, the other sister would suddenly start crying. Whatever the reason for their tears, it always ended up being my fault, and I always ended up being scolded by my parents. In reality, this was a ploy between my two sisters to place me in a situation where, no matter how hard I tried to explain myself, my parents would find me completely guilty. I still tear up whenever I hear reports of people being falsely imprisoned for crimes they didn't commit... Back then, I wished from the bottom of my heart for those sisters of mine to disappear without a trace.

But things like that happened to me every day. Eventually, I started to wonder I was cursed to forever be misunderstood by others. Whenever an incident occurred at school, the teachers would often include me on the list of suspects. Why? Was my way of life the problem...?

So back in 1988, when I was writing Part 2 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure for Weekly Shonen Jump, I was searching for a new concept to write about. (This isn't the type of thing I'd normally tell people about, but since it's an afterword, it's probably fine if I jot it down as a memory of mine.) I was looking for a way to depict someone's "strength of mind" through something other than their physical body. Until then, supernatural powers had always been something like, "eyes open wide, the sweat pours out, the blood vessels jiggle, and the rock breaks." But in JoJo, the power itself would appear and smash the rock. "Isn't this just a wonderful idea? This way, I can express the strength of a person's soul. It's not really a superpower so much as a psychic power, the power of a concept itself. Can any other art form depict this type of thing?"

My boss gave me the all-clear, so I began to draw Part 3 around the concept... But once I began the project, I only heard comments like, "I don't get it at all!" or, "What's happening in this panel?" And I thought to myself, "It's happening again. This cursed personality of mine... What should I do? No one's ever going to understand me. Maybe there's not enough dialogue, or maybe the pacing is too abrupt... But how else am I going to communicate it through drawings? This is my talent."

After I first moved out of Sendai to begin my new life as a manga artist in Tokyo, my grandmother prayed at the Buddhist altar whenever she heard news of a murder in Tokyo. She told me once that she was praying the murderer wasn't me. "Now why on earth would I be thinking that...?"

I don't think anyone in my family has ever fully understood me. My readers will probably never understand me, either. In my next work, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4, I chose to depict a small town. Of course, that was going to be controversial too. But my boss told me to "draw what you want and draw it with confidence. That's what a manga artist does." Somehow, his words inspired some courage within me.

(I wonder, though... Does he really understand me either? Better dealing with him than my sisters, at least.)

ぼくは子供の頃、よく妹とケンカをした。妹は双子なんだけど、片方とケンカしていると、なぜか関係のないもうひとりの妹が急に泣き出したりする。 「なんでおまえが泣くんだよ？」
こーなると理由はどーあれ、完全に悪者は自分の方で親にしかられるのも自分だ。

実はこれは妹二人のチームワークで、ぼくが親にどう弁解しようと完壁有罪になってしまう状況にはまってしまったのだ。無実の罪で投獄された人の報道を聞くと、本当、涙してしまう。こんな妹たちなんかいなくなってしまえばいいのに。いつもそう願っていた。

こういう事が毎日のように起こっていると、自分で人から誤解されるよう呪われているのかな？　などとも思うようにもなっていた。
学校でもなにか事件が起こると、教師たちから容疑者のひとりにぼくが入っていたりする。
「なんでだ？　普段の行ないのせいか？」

というわけで、週刊少年ジャンプに『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険　第2部』を執筆中の一九八八年当時、ぼくは何か新しい「概念」はないかなあと模索していた。（こういう事ってワザワザ自分で言うものではないかもしれないけれど、ま、あとがきなので思い出として書いてもいいかなとも思う。）
なんか肉体ではなく「心の強さ」を絵で描けたり出来ないものかなあ？みたいな事を探していたのだと思う。
今までの超能力は「目を見開き、汗を流し、血管ピクピクいわせて」岩を砕く。ジョジョでは姿がビジュアルとして現れて岩を砕きに行く(・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・)。

「もしかしていいんじゃあないか？　これで心の強さが表現できるかも。超能力というよりも精神の力、という概念なんだ。他にこれを表現できる芸術はあるか？」
そして担当もＯＫし、これを中心に第３部を描き始めたわけだけれども……。
「なんかわからないよ」「何が起こっているんだ？」開始当時、そんな意見ばかりだった。

「………出た。自分の呪われた性格が……。どうしよう？　誰からも理解されないぞ。言葉がたりてなかったり、唐突すぎるのかなあ。でもこれ以外どういう風に描けって言うんだよ？　これが実力なんだ」

ぼくのおばあちゃんは、ぼくが初めて漫画家として仙台から上京して生活を始めたとき、東京で起こった殺人事件のニュースがあると、犯人がぼくじゃあないように仏壇で手を合わせていたという。
「なんでそんな事、思うのかなあ？」

自分は家族の誰からも完全に理解された事はないと思う。ましてや読者に完全に理解してもらえる事なんか一生ないのではないか？
次作、『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険第４部』では「街」を描くんだけど、なんかこれもヤバそうだなあ。
当時の担当は言ってくれた。
「自信を持って自分の好きなものを描きなよ。それが漫画家だよ」ちょっと勇気が湧いて来た。（でもこの担当も、本当、理解してくれてんのかなあ？　ま、うちの妹たちよりましだけど。）

About the Beginning of Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable

The protagonist, Josuke Higashikata, was one of my favorite characters to draw. He is a free-spirited individual, and he has just enough humor to him to make him tough. I also appreciate the sadness that pervades his family. When I met with my editor at the time and told him I was going to give the protagonist a regent hairstyle, he said, "Wouldn't that look old-fashioned?" (In the world of manga, things like regent hairstyles and school uniforms were firmly in the realm of gags.) But in 1999, the regent hairstyle was rather new to me, and the character of Josuke Higashikata, who insists on wearing that hairstyle, seemed perfect for the protagonist who would protect his town.

In Part 3: Stardust Crusaders, the setting was a journey from Tokyo to Egypt, but that meant that the type of enemies appearing over the course of the journey had to be pursuers who attacked directly. As a result, I wanted to draw enemies that would, like a spider, wait patiently to trap the protagonist. For that reason, I naturally decided to set Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable in a single town.

I wanted to make the town feel as though the readers actually lived there, as though they were actually walking down the street to the bakery just around the corner. As the artist, I found that the easiest way to do this was by reminiscing about my hometown of Sendai in Miyagi Prefecture, where I'd lived since I was a child.

In the late '70s and '80s, the fields and forests where I used to play and go cycling as a child underwent rapid development, and many new towns cropped up in the suburbs of Sendai. The roads, houses, and yards were shiny and new, and everyone seemed happy. But at the same time, the mountains where old graves were strewn all about, the ruins of air-raid shelters where people were killed during World War II, the swamps where bodies of those who had drowned themselves were found, as well as all the other places that were haunted and therefore quite dangerous... All of them were cleared and reclaimed to create new towns.

So I thought to myself, "Then what about the ghosts there? Where did they go?" With a creeping feeling of unease, I thought, "They look so peaceful and beautiful, but are they?" For that reason, I used them as the model for the city of Morioh. That's the setting of Part 4. Morioh serves to criticize the practice of destroying people's nostalgia in the name of development.

People seem peaceful and happy, but you really have no idea what they're up to in their own homes. That's the feeling the people who live in Morioh give off. In the latter half of Part 4, a certain serial killer emerges as the main villain, but I'll talk about him in the afterword for Part 4. And yet, Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable was the most well-received part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series among my friends and family. Often, they would show their appreciation with responses such as "Did you use him as a model?" or "Don't use my name," or "That's my line you stole."

I also remember enjoying being able to draw my favorite foods, fashions, stores, and so on. I had a hard time putting the brakes on the series, but I wanted to avoid spoiling the eerie atmosphere by having too much fun. If I had the chance, I would love to give Morioh more depth by drawing more of the town and residents that didn't appear in the story proper...

"I'd rather not be their friend, but I have a soft spot for them." Those are the residents of Morioh, the town of the 21st century.

『第４部　ダイヤモンドは砕けない』の始まりにあたって

主人公〝東方仗助〟は描いていて最も好きなキャラクターのひとりだ。精神的な自由さがあって、しかも適度なユーモアがタフな感じがする。杖助の家庭的な悲しさもよい。
当時の編集担当と羽ち合わせをした時ヘアスタイルをリーゼント風にする、と話すと「古っぼくならないかな？」と言われた。（漫画界では、もはやリーゼントとかガクランといったものは、ギャグの範囲に入っていた）
だけど１９９９年当時のリーゼントが自分にはむしろ新しさに思えたし、その髪形に未だにこだわる東方仗助というキャラクターが、町を〝守る〟主人公としてピッタリに思えた。
『第３部スターダストクルセイダース』では、東京からエジプトへの旅が背景のテーマになっていたのだけれども、旅の途中に出てくる〝敵〟のタイプといったものが、追跡して襲撃してくる者たちの形式をとらざるをえなかった事に対して、「じっくり待って蜘蛛のように主人公にワナをしかける」タイプの敵を作者的に描きたくなっていた。
……というわけで『第４部　ダイヤモンドは砕けない』は、町を背景のテーマとして描いて行こうと自然と決まっていった。

「道路を歩いてカドを曲がったらパン屋がある」といった風に、実際に読者が住んでるかのような感じにしたいと思った。
そこで作者的にはやっぱり描きやすいのは、子供の頃から住んでいた生まれ故郷（宮城県仙台市）を思いながらという事になる。
子供の頃に遊んだり、サイクリングに行った田畑や山林といった場所が、70年代後半から80年代にかけて一気に開発され、新しい町が仙台市の郊外ではたくさんできた。
道路も家も庭もピカピカで新しく、みんな幸せそうだ。だけど、子供の頃あそこの山には昔の墓がゴロゴロたおれていて、幽霊が出るからヤバイだの、第二次大戦時の防空壕跡で人が殺されただの、あそこの沼で入水自殺の死体があがっただの聞かされてた場所が切り開かれ埋めたてられて町ができたのだ。
自分的には「じゃあ、あそこにいた幽霊はどこ行っちゃったんだ？」と、そりゃあ不気味で不気味で、「一見平和で美しいけど真実なのか？」……と言った理由からの、〝モデル〟がこの〝杜王町〟。第４部の舞台である。

杜王町は開発の名のもと、破壊された個人的な郷愁への批判もこめられた象徴でもあるのだ。
平和で幸せそうな人々が実は、家の中では何してるのかわからないぞ。その感覚が杜王町に住む人たちなのである。
第４部は後半、最大の敵の殺人鬼が出てくるが、それは、第４部あとがきの時ふれる事にする。
…とはいえ『第４部　ダイヤモンドは砕けない』は『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険』中、最も〝自分の身内受け(・・)〟が良かったシリーズである。
「モデルは彼でしょ？」だとか「オレの名前使うなよ」とか「セリフ盗ったな」とか親戚友人から大いに喜ばれました。
自分的にも好きな食べ物とか、ファッションとかお店とか、本当、楽しんで描いた思い出があるし、あまり趣味に走りすぎて、不気味さが損なわれないようブレーキをかける方に苦労したシリーズでもあります。

機会があったら、まだ描かれていない町の部分や新しい住民をさらに描いて、より深い杜王町を作ってみたいな……という気にもなっています。
「親しくお付き合いはしたくはないけれど、なんか好きな人たちなんだよな」

それが杜王町の住民たちであり、21世紀の町なのです。

Diamond is Unbreakable Last Volume Afterword

“

For what reason do people decide to draw manga? I began drawing manga when I was a child. Ever since my first work was published in a magazine 20 years ago, this question may have been in the back of my mind. Why do I draw manga?

Sometimes I think I do it just because it's my job, but whenever I draw manga, my shoulders and hips ache, and I seem to get sick to my stomach. (Also, do you know about "tight glutes"? I sit in a chair for too long, which causes stiffness and fatigue in my hip muscles, as if they were a stiff neck.) Anyway, when I draw manga, there are always times when I put myself in physical pain. During those times especially, I think to myself, "Why do I draw manga? There must be an easier way to live. I can't keep doing this unless there's some meaning to it." If the idea or the work is very well-received, the problem might not be so serious yet. On the other hand, when the physical pain is overwhelming and the work isn't good enough (when you work every day, times like those are inevitable), it really makes me stop and ask myself, "Why do I draw manga?!"

There may not be a definite answer, but it reminds me of a story. Orson Welles, an American filmmaker and actor, performed a radio program in either the 1940s or 1950s. It was a science fiction story about aliens coming to and invading Earth by the title of The War of the Worlds. When the program was broadcast as a faked news report, people listening to the radio believed that aliens had really arrived, and entire cities started to panic. The confusion was so great that it became a social problem, and Orson Welles was ultimately forced to formally apologize on the air and in the papers, saying "of course, I'm terribly sorry now." But when I heard this story, I immediately imagined the following: when Orson Welles bowed his head and apologized, he definitely stuck out his tongue at an angle where people couldn't see it... No doubt about it! I swear he was laughing in his heart! (I know he was!) This part of the story seems to hold the answer to the question of why I draw manga. It's hard work, but there's a kind of fun to it that no one else knows about... That's what I think.

I'm aware that JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable is a work that took a creative stance on many of its aspects. (I'm not saying I cheated the readers. I mean that I drew it in a way that people don't understand and enjoy.) There's no end to the number of specific examples I could give, so I'll leave it up to the reader to imagine what they want to see explained, but I'll tackle the biggest portion of it here: the character of Josuke Higashikata. I had wanted to draw a dumb character for a long time (because I had never drawn such a character before), and I imagined that the intelligent storyline and dumb character would contrast each other perfectly.

I began drawing Part 4 with a promise in my mind: "My older brother, who's a bit of an idiot but has a kind heart, happens to be a Stand User." The first reaction of my editors and readers was: "Huh? A pompadour? What a stupid hero! And do people like that even exist in 1999? Are you sane?!" In short, he was unpopular. I would respond with, "I did it! I really hate to be unpopular, but I'm also a little glad that it wasn't accepted from the beginning." I thought that the perfect contrast would reveal itself later as the pages piled up. Moreover, I had a lot of fun during the creative period designing the character of Josuke. (By the way, Okuyasu Nijimura and Shigechi are also dumb characters...) I felt as if he was a real friend by my side. "This is what creating manga is all about," I thought to myself. Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable ended up being the period in which I learned that lesson.

Even though they were antagonists, Yoshikage Kira and Rohan Kishibe were also characters that I enjoyed creating. They were murderers and unforgivable villains, but (though I don't want to say too much) I found their lives enviable. They must have had difficult childhoods, but they have a positive outlook on life, always affirming themselves without playing the victim, and the strength of their spirit was enough to get them through difficult crises. If you ignore the fact that Yoshikage Kira kills people, I feel like he's the very image of my ideal hero, and drawing him made me feel ecstatic.

But stories and encounters with people always have to come to an end. When I approached the end of the story, I felt really lonely. I didn't want to leave everyone. That's how I really felt. Josuke Higashikata. Yoshikage Kira. Koichi. Okuyasu. Rohan Kishibe. Reimi Sugimoto. Hayato Kawajiri. "Goodbye, Morioh," I said with a tear in my eye.

漫画を描くという行為はいったい何のために行われるのだろうか？
子供の時に漫画を描き始めて、そして初めて作品の雑誌掲載が決まってから二十数年、その事をずっと考え統けてるのかもしれない。
自分はなぜ漫画を描くのだろうか？
仕事だからって思う時もあるけれど、漫画描いていると必ず肩とか腰とか痛んできて、胃まで気持ち悪くなったりするし（あと、おシリがコる(・・)ってわかる？　イスに長時間座りすぎているので、屑コリみたいにおシリの筋肉がコって疲労がたまったりする）。

とにかく漫画描いていると、肉体的に苦痛のある時がしょっちゅうなのだ。そんな時など特に「自分はなぜ漫画を描くんだ？　もっと楽な生き方だってあるはず。なにかの『意味』がないとこんな事やってらんないぜ」と……強く考えてしまう。アイデアや作品の出来が大好評ならまだ問題は浅いかもしれない。だが肉体的なダメージが深い時に、作品の出来もいまいちだったりすると（毎日仕事してると、誰にもそういう時が絶対にある）本当にさらに深く、なんで漫画って描くんだッ!?って考えこんでしまう。

確かな答えなんてないのかもしれないが、ある話を思い出す。
オーソン・ウェルズといつアメリカの映画作家兼俳優が、一九四〇年代だか五〇年代だかに、ラジオの番組をやったそうだ。
タイトルは『宇宙戦争』というＳＦで、内容は宇宙人が地球を侵略しに来るという話。これをニュース番組の演出形式で放送したら、ラジオを聴いていた人が本当に宇宙人がやって来たと信じ込んでしまい、街中がパニックになってしまったらしい。あまりの混乱で社会問題にまでなって、ついにオーソン・ウェルズは放送やマスコミを通して謝罪せざるを得なくなり、正式にあやまった。「本当に申し訳ない事をしました」…と。

だけど、ぼくはこの話を聞いた時、次の事をただちに想像した。
オーソン・ウェルズは頭を下げてあやまった時、人から見えない角度で絶対にべロを出したなー……と。間違いない！　心の中では絶対笑ってた！……と（ぼくにはわかる！）。
このエピソード、ここ(・・)の部分にこそ(・・・・・)、いったいなぜ漫画を描くのか？の答えが隠されているように思う。
「とてもつらいんだけど、誰にもわからない楽しみもある」………と。

『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険Ｐａｒｔ４ダイヤモンドは砕けない』は、そんな部分が多い創作姿勢をとった作品だと認識している（読者をだましたって事ではないよ。人にはわからない楽しみ方をして描いたという意味）。
具体的にどこがどうと細かく例をあげていくとキリがないので、まあ読者に勝手に想像していただくとしてだが、大きいところを解説すると、やはリ東方杖助のキャラクターだろう。ぼくはこの時期、どうしても頭の悪いキャラを描きたくて描きたくて目標としてかかげ（今まで描いた事のなかったキャラだから）、知的なストーリー展開とその頭悪キャラは必ずや絶妙なコントラストを奏でるだろう……と想像した。
「頭はバカだが心はやさしいお兄さんがスタンド使いなんだよ」と心に誓ってＰａｒｔ４を描き始めた。すると編集と読者の反応がまず「え？　リーゼント？　ダせぇ主人公！　しかも１９９９年には、そんなヤツもういないんじゃあないの？　大丈夫？」みたいな不評。

「やった！　不評なのはイヤだけど。でもなんか最初から認められないのも、ちょっとうれしい」。絶妙なコントラストってのは、のちのちページが重ねられると出てくるものだと思ったからだ。しかも杖助のキャラを創ってる間は本当に楽しい創作期間だった（ついでにバカ頭キャラは虹村億泰とか重ちーもいて…）。いつしか杖助は本当に自分の側にいる仲間のように思えてきた。漫画の創作とはこうゆう事のために行われる事なのだと思った。
『Ｐａｒｔ４ダイヤモンドは砕けない』はこの事を学んだ時期だった。

敵ではあるが吉良吉影と岸辺露伴もキャラを創っていて楽しい登場人物だった。
殺人鬼でとても許せない悪党だが、（人にはあまり言えないが）とてもあこがれる存在となった。
つらい少年時代を送っているに違いないが、人生には前向きで、常に自分を被害者づらなど決してせず、肯定している所、つらい危機的な状況をなんとか切り抜ける精神の強さなどだ。吉良吉影は殺人を犯している所をのぞけば、本当にぽくのヒーロー像そのものだと感じ、描いてる間はとても幸せだった。

しかし物語と人との出会いには必ず終わりがあるものだ。ラスト近くなった時、描いていて本当にさびしい思いがした。みんなと別れたくなかった。これは真実の気持ちだ。
東方杖助。吉良吉影。康一くん。億泰。岸辺露伴。杉本鈴美。川尻早人。
さよなら杜王町、って感傷にひたった。

Vento Aureo First Volume Afterword

“

Recently, I've managed to calm myself down quite a bit... Well, let's just say that instead of arguing, which is something that tires me out, I prefer obeying what I'm being told. During the time I was writing Vento Aureo, I really tormented myself in regards to the matter of "self-censorship" in Shonen Manga. By "self-censorship," I'm talking about the requests from the editorial board to an author to stop drawing or, at the very least, soften certain elements of the story which haven't been deemed presentable (for example: discriminatory phrases, expressions which might appear racist, the way skin color is drawn, violent scenes or abuse on both the weak and animals, callbacks to real-life crimes, the representation of nude bodies, smoking or drinking habits, etc..) I wanna make it clear right away that what I am about to write here isn't a critique towards my editors, but simply the real sensations that I, Hirohiko Araki, felt while writing Vento Aureo.

Having reached the fifth part of the series, I desired to write a story which would deal with topics such as the deep sadness in us human beings, or the pain of being born into this world, and I wanted to do it in a stronger manner than the previous parts. Depending on the circumstances in which they are born, there are people who are lucky from the very start, but how would these individuals act if they had been born in a different place instead, one with much harsher conditions? In Vento Aureo, all the protagonists have, in one way or another, been estranged from society and forced to live on its boundaries. We are talking about an environment in which the strong eat the weak and one where evil pervades everything. In such a situation, is it still possible for these characters to find justice?

When representing the clash between good and evil, it is necessary to describe evil in a realistic way, and it's here that the power of "self-censorship" in Shonen Manga really strikes the heaviest of blows in the story that you're trying to write. Smoking, being relentless towards the weak, sexually molesting an individual, stabbing someone with a knife, cutting off heads, abusing men and women, gouging eyes out, eating brain matter: all these are examples of pure evil. To express the evil shadows of human beings a minimum of cruelty and brutality is essential.

Despite having happened sporadically in previous years, as soon as I started Vento Aureo (around 1996), the editorial board suddenly started sending me more and more requests along the lines of "fix this page", "change that line", "modify this drawing" and so on. I would like to show you precisely which dialogues and pages I'm talking about, but it would be a long list so it's better to leave that out for now. Additionally, these requests were rarely motivated (even if they were, they were never in a convincing manner), the indications given to me were typically like, "...well, it's just that there is kind of regulation, plus the deadline is close and things just go like this with the board. C'mon hurry up and fix it! You'll think about the rest right?!”

I'll say it again, this is absolutely not a critique in regards to my editors, nor am I insinuating that they developed an unprofessional attitude towards me. (Truth is that I've always been very grateful to my editors!) All I'm trying to say is that during the period I was writing Vento Aureo that sensation was there with me. It's nothing else but a simple personal impression.

With all that said, it's easy to imagine just what type of crisis I was in and how difficult it was for me to successfully express, in a satisfying manner, the themes that I was trying to develop. Moreover, I kept asking myself if by any chance a "wall" had been indefinitely built to limit the liberty of expression, if the possibilities for artistic development in manga had run out, or if the ideology of authority and non-stop profit weren't completely stripping away the sprouts of art itself. Even now, despite being in a much more relaxing condition, I can't give myself a definitive answer, but what I felt in that era naturally transpired into the actions and attitudes of my characters.

Giorno and Bucciarati, two of the protagonists, betray the organization which they are part of for the sake of 'justice'. The organization is a symbol of power and moral obligation, almost a second home for them, but they both decide to fight to follow the desire of living according to justice. Even I, as the author, while drawing these scenes felt courage swelling up inside of me. Thinking back on the sentiments of my protagonists never fails to bring tears to my eyes. If these two boys had decided to remain in the shadow of authority, maybe they would have gone on to live safe and comfy lives. Instead, despite knowing the risks, they chose the path of justice, because only in its presence would they have been certain their existence actually mattered. Vento Aureo, between great Italian fashion and all the more creative Stand battles, is a story full of suspense, but I also think, according to my judgment as an author, that it can be considered a really dark work. Having said that and considering how at times we can take on such heavy subjects, I am very proud of it. Just like with all the other parts, I hope with all my heart that you have fun reading it. Regarding the parts that I had to cut, I will talk about this in the afterthoughts of the last volume.

Vento Aureo Last Volume Afterword

“

Jotaro Kujo, the protagonist of part three "Stardust Crusaders", sets off on his journey accepting the bond that connects him to his grandfather and his grandfather's great-grandfather (Jonathan's father). There are six generations between them. In that sense, you could say their enemy, Dio Brando, represents both destiny and fate.

I don't think there's anyone who can assert they know anything about an ancestor from six generations prior. From Jotaro's perspective, he doesn't really care if his ancestor was someone who did good things or, rather, someone who made the wrong choices. He simply accepts the blood bond that connects him and his ancenstors, considering it an honor even! While I was writing this fifth part, Vento Aureo, I kept asking myself: "How would someone behave if the mere fact they were born was a source of sadness?"

Men can't choose how they come into the world. Some of them find themselves in happy families, others grow up in terrible places from the get-go. Can those less fortunate do anything if we assume destiny and fate are something already decided by gods or some kind of law that makes stars move in our vast universe? This is Vento Aureo's main theme and both the protagonists and their adversaries need to face it. Giorno, Bucciarati, Fugo, Narancia, Abbacchio, Mista. Every single one of them grew up or rather was forced to grow up, at the edge of society and family. The same can be said about Trish really.

Could they ever challenge fate, destiny, and change them? This was my most recurring thought while working on this story.

I was really down during that period for certain personal matters. What to do? If it were easy for humans to change them just with effort and will, destiny and fate would lose their meanings. It would be too easy. How could the protagonists fight against this sense of unavoidability? The answer, surprisingly, was given to me by the protagonists themselves. They don't try to change their destiny and even in their situation, they choose not to give up their spirit's purity. They firmly believe that happiness and a sense of justice are the same things.

I mean, I'm the author, and yet, while I was writing I ended up learning from my characters and this is what truly gave me courage. In these terms, thinking back, I feel I had the illusion of being accepted among them as a friend, more than just growing fond of Vento Aureo's protagonists myself.

There was one part in this fifth series I absolutely had to delete though. An episode I couldn't write at all. In my head, the story went that between Mista, Narancia, Fugo and Abbacchio, there would be a spy working for the boss and betray Giorno and Bucciarati. At first, I had decided this traitor to be Fugo, but I couldn't do it.

My state of mind was so dark that the stories I wrote were becoming more and more evil, but in my heart, I was starting to hate this behavior as time passed. Also, my heart broke just thinking about how Bucciarati would feel.

I absolutely can't understand betrayal from a trusted friend and this is why just thinking about it physically hurt me. I would have accepted any criticism saying that I "hadn't had the guts to do it" as an author, but I assure you I couldn't write that episode no matter what.

Maybe Giorno would have had to kill Fugo then and I'm sure this would have given a really bad impression to my youngest readers.

This is what lays behind that farewell scene in Venezia, with the publication of Vento Aureo's novel then I was able to have a story written about how Fugo would continue to help his companions from inside the organization.

To conclude, allow me to say something to my characters: Thank you, you are the Golden Wind that blows during the most difficult and sad moments.

Stone Ocean First Volume Afterword

“

There are times where I'll suddenly get overwhelmed, thinking about how weird certain things are which I previously never cared about, and an unusual anger arises. It exists within me, this "Period of Hate," which is often caused by the "Season of Aggression". Some time ago I happened to be with my parents, and so with levity I said this:

"You know, near my house there is this traffic light which turns red even during parts of the day where cars are nowhere to be seen. It didn't really bother me before and if there was no one around I would just go ahead and pass anyway. However, lately I've began to see it as bad conduct, so I've decided to stop and wait until it turns green."

As soon as I finished saying this, I started getting bombarded with a flurry of comments such as "Oh c'mon, nobody does that anymore!" and "You are giving me a headache! What, are you trying to play goody two shoes now?!" and even, "You are a hypocrite! You just want someone to see you so he can write about it on 2chan!" Ugh. There it is. The "Season of Aggression" has arrived. If you get attacked for saying or doing something bad there's nothing wrong with that, but I did no such thing. I mean, I didn't even pass the red light. See, this is the "Season of Aggression", that period of time when people get angry at me for reasons that I fail to comprehend. And when it inexorably presents itself again, even in arguments where I could easily counter, I just end up being assailed and suffer even more. Because of this, the only thing that I can do is sit and wait until it passes again, just like people affected by pollen allergies; on hold, until the cause of their nuisance flies away. In these circumstances, the saying, "The best defense is a good offense" does not work.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has finally reached its sixth protagonist, Jolyne Cujoh, and she too is in the middle of this "Season of Aggression". Ever since she was little, she's lived in Florida, and with Jotaro being very busy in Morioh, she grew up without the presence of a father figure. Jolyne has certainly inherited the tough and cool headed side of her family, but she slowly but surely went towards a path of restlessness. Her mother just scolds her. She falls in love with a guy whose affection she blindly trusts. He represents the love and affection that she never got from her father. But it's precisely this sentiment that will drag Jolyne into a crazy world. Will she be able to free herself from it like "unraveling a string"? And will she mature as a person? This is the layout that I had in mind when writing Stone Ocean and its protagonist.

Some time ago, in the 1980s, the impulse of trying a new creative adventure made me draw "Gorgeous Irene," a short story which had a woman as a protagonist. But in that time period I just, don't know, kinda felt something was off...I perceived a weird atmosphere telling me that a female protagonist wouldn't go well in my works, and so I scrapped the idea of turning it into an actual series. Almost 15 years have passed since then, and I'm convinced that, in some way, the times have changed. Today we live in an era in which, even if a girl takes a punch, or her finger goes flying, or she gets pushed down a building, she can still have a really strong atmosphere. The responsibility is all on her dad's shoulders, Jotaro Kujo. He is the one who initially comes to save his daughter, but ultimately ends up getting saved by her. This, in turn, favors the internal growth of the girl. It seems to me that putting yourself out there by inserting a character like this into a manga really pays off. We can be men and women, but the blood relations and the sentiments which derive from them are elements which we all inherit.

What does "Stone Ocean" mean? "Stone" is the will of Jolyne, while "Ocean" symbolizes women altogether. This Stone Ocean can also refer to the image of the prison in which the story is set. After having decided to draw Stone Ocean, I wanted to collect some material and went to visit a prison in Florida. It was divided into 4 sections: juvenile detention, female detention, young male detention and death row convicts detention that I could only enter after I was granted a permit. In America, there are also "private" prisons in which a penalty discount becomes the equivalent of a commercial enterprise.

I could enter three sections, but not the male detention one because it was deemed too dangerous, I was only able to see the kitchen and the model prisoners working there. In any case, it wasn't a huge prison like the one where Jolyne Cujoh was incarcerated, rather it was a very high tech one and in some way reminded me of Roppongi Hills. (Big urban complex in Roppongi, a Tokyo district) At the entrance I was patted down to check what I was carrying with me and possible metal objects. Then I took an elevator, walked, took another elevator, walked again, then another elevator in repetition. At every passage a heavy metal door with an electronic lock would be opened and closed, then another, and another, and so on. On the way, I was escorted by some guards of average rank. Doors can't speak, but it was like they were telling me that I couldn't leave that place anymore, even if I willed it. I'm not sure if it was claustrophobia, but I was very nervous, I felt like I was in a state of hyperventilation and my breathing was ragged. Some prisoners, no matter how many times I told them I was from Tokyo, wanted me to gift them a Bible in Korean. Furthermore, there was a woman with a massive body structure who looked just like the boss from a movie, seated next to her was instead a girl with a slim figure, probably her henchman, through which she asked me how old I was. I would later heartily describe my feelings to the warden, that I was really anxious to the point of suffocation. He replied "It's the same for me every day. I always feel relieved when I can finally get out and go back home.” Writing this sixth part, I keep questioning myself with concern over Jolyne Cujoh. If I was in the same situation, I think that after just 3 hours of being put in I'd probably already feel destroyed. My impression is that, between all the previous JoJo protagonists, she is the toughest one and that I desire for her to be happy the most. Especially because, as if that wasn't enough, she is right in the middle of the “Season of Aggression”.

Stone Ocean Last Volume Afterword

“

The truth is, I don’t really know what to say about this. Writing this sixth part of “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure - Stone Ocean”, I started feeling a great sense of satisfaction regarding the Stand’s powers. I felt like I had reached the peak of my creativity, as an author I had drawn everything my capabilities allowed. ‘Time’ that got faster and faster for humans’ senses to perceive, getting closer to the concept of infinite – given we can’t really comprehend much of it. How could there possibly be a Stand power bigger than this? “There’s nothing more incredible, my creativity has reached the highest point”, that’s what I thought. I normally think that feelings like a sense of satisfaction or personal realization are extremely scary. Finding yourself in a situation where you think everything’s going well and you don’t need to do anything more is without doubt a terrible situation, as a person and as a mangaka, but also if we think about society and the development of science, philosophy, art and culture in general. People act to achieve something, to obtain satisfaction above all else, but what do they do when they reach it? This contradictory feeling crept up my heart while I was coming up with an ending for ‘Stone Ocean’.

Jolyne Cujoh, our protagonist, felt a deep void in her heart too because she was missing the paternal love that brought her to befriend the shady guy that caused her to be imprisoned, after causing a car accident. But what’s important is the progress she makes because of that, because of the actions she has to do to save her father she becomes the strong woman she is. If we look at this story as a telling of the protagonist’s growth, her story had ended. So now what should I do for the accomplishment of this manga? In other words, I don’t have anything more to draw. It’s over. ‘JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure’ has reached its summit.
This is ‘Stone Ocean’.
The end.
But this is not right, not at all, it feels wrong. The fact that I’m feeling accomplished should not be a good thing.
It’s like a red light is in front of me, what should I do?
This is what I was thinking then, until I had an idea.
Go back to the origins! Isn’t this how Renaissance happened in Italy, going back to Greeks and Romans concepts in classic art? The French painter Gauguin also built a whole new painting going back the origins that Tahiti represented for him.

I need to strengthen further Father Pucci’s Stand power. This way time, the characters, the bloodlines and the whole universe will have a turnaround and go back to their origins. For ‘JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure’ I had to leave modern days and return to nature. I had to change Stone Ocean’s ending right before the last chapters for this reason, I brought out all the nostalgic feelings I had in my soul and this is why it came out like that. Jolyne Cujoh's memories are different, but I think her love and emotions will remain forever and surely grow. I want the protagonist for the seventh part to be fighting against nature in a way that teaches him how to be mature. These were my thoughts upon writing the sixth part, maybe these things shouldn’t be said or written but this is the author’s afterword right? It came out like this.

第6部『ストーンオーシャン 』あとがき

このあとがきのコメントは実をいうとあまりありません。

この『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険Part6 ストーンオーシャン 』でスタンド能力としては（作者自身の感覚としては）——けっこう描ききった感が当時あって、アイデア的に究極に達してしまったのかな？と創作的な満足感を味わってしまったのです。

「時間」が、どんどん人間の感覚より速くなって行って、無限に、考えうる限りの無限に——近づいて行く。——これ以上のスタンド能力ってもうないだろう。凄いのなんて、もうないな。アイデアは究極へ達した。そう思ってしまったのです。

「満足感」とか「達成感」という感覚は、けっこう危険な領域の感覚なのでは？と常日頃思っていて、つまり「全てOKしちゃって、もう何もいらないや」という状態は人間としても漫画家としても、あるいは社会や文明の発展としても科学としても哲学としても、芸術としてもきっとヤバイ事に違いない。

燃え尽きる恋愛。もしくは闘い終わった〝あしたのジョー〟。人間はきっと何かを達成したり満足するために行動するのだろうけど、満足したらそのあとどうする？それがこのストーンオーシャンを描き終わった時の矛盾した感覚でした。

主人公の空条徐倫は、求める父親からの愛情の空虚さが心の底にあって、それ理由、交通事故を引き起こし、投獄されました。

そして、逆に父を助ける行動で、ひとりの女性として成長して行く。主人公の成長物語としては達成してしまった。そのあとどうする？…漫画制作的にそうも思ってしまいました。

つまり描く事はもうないな。終わったな。「ジョジョの奇妙な冒険」はもう究極に達してしまったな。それがこの「ストーンオーシャン」です。——以上。…………………………いや、やっぱりヤだな。それはなんか、うぬぼれなのかもしれない。かなりヤバイ。達成感とか思う事。それ自体がヤバイような。赤信号が点滅しました。どおしよう？本当どおしよう？「そうだ！」そう思いました。

原点に返ろう。イタリアのルネッサンスは古代ギリシャやローマ時代の概念に返ったから起こったんだ。フランスの画家のゴーギャンは、タヒチという原始に返って新しい絵画を生みだしたんだ。

ラストのボス・プッチ神父のスタンド能力をさらにパワーアップさせよう。そうすりゃあ、時間も主人公たちも血統も宇宙一周して原始に返れる。ジョジョの奇妙な冒険は————現代文明を捨てて自然に返ろう。

それが当時、終了直前に変更して描いた、「ストーンオーシャン」のラストです。しか一現もノスタルジイの感覚も出せた。空条徐倫の記憶は別のものだが、愛と情は残って永遠のものとなり、きっと成長して行くでしょう。

そして————

ジョジョの奇妙な冒険の次の第7部の主人公は、自然と闘い、自然から学んで成長して行く主人公にしよう。タイトルは「スティール・ボール・ラン（仮）」か？

そう思いながら、当時、この第6部を描き終えました。本来なら、こういった事は言ったり書いたりすべき事ではないのかもしれない。でも作者本人のあとがきですからね。そういうあとがきです。

Steel Ball Run First Volume Afterword

“

In 2004, I started drawing JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 7 “Steel Ball Run”. This was the story of Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli and their participation in the great race throughout the North American continent, going from San Diego on the West Coast to New York on the East Coast. I'd like to now share with you all some memories regarding the genesis of this work.

Part 1: The Protagonists
Each one of them has their own family problems: Johnny's relationship with his dad and Gyro's lineage. It's almost as if their births are a contradiction and their desire to take control of their lives pushed them to enter the race. The other characters have a positive attitude as well and those who hide the power of a Stand are very confident in themselves. That being said, maintaining a positive attitude is a tiresome way to live life. After all, to find a bit of peace they only have 2 choices: retire from the race or reach New York.

Part 2: The Stands
Up until now, I've created Stands with the intent of visually representing elements which are impossible to perceive with earthly eyes yet still very much exist. This includes all physical phenomenons and creations, stuff like transforming flames into characters or drawing time itself. With my previous work "Stone Ocean," I had accomplished a certain sense of fulfillment and was wondering, "What I should do next?" When I started drawing SBR, I had a predilection for rotations (specifically spiral rotations). The flames that I designed resembled whirlwinds, splashing water flew like vortexes, body joints bent as if screwed together, hair grew in a sinuous way, the branches of plants and trees connected curved into the main stem, petals of flowers were like spirals, the shadows of rocks seemed like they were rotating, etc.. By constantly drawing things like these, I reached the conclusion that rotations and spirals gave a clear explanation to every phenomenon in this world of ours. Had I made a Stand out of them it probably would have been extremely powerful. Additionally, by connecting the concept of "rotation" to "rebirth," then ideally the story would return to its starting point. It's through this reasoning that I convinced myself that SBR had to be set in the same time period as Part 1, that being the end of the XIX century.

Part 3: Research
I love stories in which characters grow throughout a journey and I believe tends to be a universal experience. These days, you can obtain information on anything you need through searching on the internet, and as a result research trips are no longer necessary. However, there are places where its necessary to be there in person, in order to really perceive their magnitude. To truly comprehend the other side of the coin, we must live in these places to experience their miseries and inequities, and understand what would happen if, for example, we were to find ourselves without milk. Pushed by the desire to experiment with these sentiments, I went on a discovery trip on a Cessna and in a car starting from a desert in the Far West. It wasn't necessarily related to SBR, but I was particularly fascinated by the abandoned crash sites of planes right in the middle of nowhere.

Later on, I hiked for 5 days and 4 nights in the mountains of Kumano Kodo (a group of ancient pilgrimage footpaths, patrimony of UNESCO since 2004) in the prefecture of Wakayama in Japan. I wanted to find out what would happen to me if I walked 20 kilometers every day, and so I did. Maybe this experience in particular has some relevance to SBR. Everyday, the marvelous view offered by the forests would become increasingly darker after 4 o'clock, more than you could imagine. One day I happened to see an old lady all alone, coming out of the dark and saying "If I hadn't met that kid I would have certainly been lost and I would have been in trouble!" (what kid was she talking about?!). After 2 days of walking my muscles started to hurt a lot, the phone had no signal and it seemed so heavy that each day I would ponder the idea of just throwing it away. The contradictions of useless inventions.

Part 4: The Enemies
President Valentine, who appears in the second half of SBR is the final boss, the worst enemy, the big bad, an extremely evil person. However, I would like to explain why he is a villain from the POV of the protagonists, Johnny and Gyro. President Valentine uses the Steel Ball Run race to collect the treasures necessary to transform his native country into the greatest and biggest nation in the world and to steer it towards a new era. Basically, through this event, he plans to conquer the sympathy of the people and obtain the rights for his fellow countrymen. He is aware that the future will bring forth the movement from horses to machines, and knows that democracy means the acquisition of the rights of a capitalist economy. That being said, a person who doesn't know egoism is truly terrifying. In practice, the ideas of President Valentine are much more valid than those of our protagonists Johnny, Gyro, Steven Steel, etc.. As a result, this president who wants to follow the rightful path is the antagonist by 'antonomasia'. In him resides the contradiction that exists between good and evil. It's sort of a paradox. However it may be, what is happiness? If happiness coincided with the victory of truth, then would it have to be the objective of this era? In the end, will Johnny and Gyro really be able to achieve it?

Part 5: Area
The publication of this work switched from Weekly Shonen Jump to the monthly Ultra Jump, not just because after many years the weekly deadlines began to feel stressing, but also because I felt that in SBR the "area" which I could draw had grew a lot (I'm referring to the number of pages per chapter). I sensed that I could improve on the proportions between backgrounds and characters and also felt that I had found an ideal rhythm to develop this manga which, by its nature, is more suited to being monthly.

Steel Ball Run Last Volume Afterword

“

At the end of Volume 1 of this edition of Steel Ball Run, I had shared some memories which encompassed the entirety of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series. As such, I want to now focus on writing something more specific about its endings.

This may seem like a given when creating a manga series, but between the writing, researching, personal anxieties, etc...the beginning of a manga serialization can be a pretty tough undertaking. However, when it comes to ending a series, I’m under the impression that the task is even more challenging.

It'll depend on the work, but there are times where the editorial department or the manga author themselves will want a series to approach some kind of conclusion. Even if that's the case, requests from the audience can make it difficult for an author to write that closing word, "End." During this time, it's always necessary for us as authors to separate ourselves from the characters that have accompanied our story, the ones we've grown attached to as the days go by, the ones we've shared many important moments with. Similarly, it is also necessary to leave behind the setting and world that we've created and built up. On the other hand, we can’t abandon the answers behind the main mysteries or the destinies of our characters. We must close the curtain in the best way possible. “Will this ending satisfy the readers?” This sort of doubt generates anxiety and a certain sense of importance. Even after we finally finish drawing, there's a certain sensation that nothing else remains and you start to ask yourself: “What do I do now?!” This is what happens with the end of a serialized manga.

It may also happen to have a strong ending like in this case, but with this work and for the third part of JoJo, Stardust Crusaders, I chose a plot structure that had a very obvious finish line and readers would be aware of the fact that a conclusion would be inevitable. So, without a sense of loss or desperation, the closure was nothing else but a way to conclude a journey and so this way I could finish as necessary. When I reach the finishing line of these works, I only had the feeling of having completed a task and of having obtained a good result, and that gave me a sense of gratitude.

One of the ending scenes of Steel Ball Run that I particularly enjoyed drawing is the one in which Johnny and Gyro confide their personal secrets to each other and Gyro reveals to his friend his true name, while Johnny tells him about his fetish. They were just frivolities, but can a secret become eternal? Or, if one survives, will that secret continue to live on in their heart? While I was creating those panels, I found myself crying.
