Afterword
The brilliance to run right through the classic path of manga, where the story stands strong on its own, without relying too heavily on the setting, and keeps the protagonist at the center!!
"Into the seething cauldron of a modern industrial society, it was cast without warning. A relic of a forgotten world... the Stone Mask! With a story like this, something has to happen!!
I think one of the defining features of Araki's manga is that the story always makes sense. What's more, the way he charges ahead through his plot of a compelling, protagonist driven manga makes me want to shout, “Brilliant!”
By the way, the moment in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure that surprised me the most was when the villain, Dio, jumped out of the carriage in the very first chapter. No other manga artist would spend two whole pages just to show the villain getting out of a carriage!! I love that kind of thing. Please do more of it!!
As a fan of Araki's work, I will continue to have high expectations for the continuation of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. (Wow, that sentence sounds a bit formal.)"
Image: There's no doubt about it: The image of Araki's writing style. "Muda! Muda Muda! Mudaaaa!!"物語をちゃんと成立させ、なおかつ設定によりかからず、主人公中心の漫画の王道をつっ走る、この聡明さ!!
ぐつぐつと煮えたぎる近代産業社会のど真中に、ポイと投げ込まれ異文明の結晶、石仮面！
これじゃあ、何も起きないはずがない!!
荒木さんの漫画の特徴は、いつもちゃんと物語が成立している、ということだと思います。
しかも、設定によっかからず、あくまでも主人公中心のおもしろ漫画の王道をつっ走るところなど、思わず『聡明!」と叫んでしまいます。
ところで『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険』の中で一番おどろいたのは、第1話の敵役ディオが馬車から降りる場面です。
敵役が馬車から降りるのに2ページ使う漫画家はいないっ!! あーゆーの好きです。もっとやってください!!
荒木漫画の一ファンとして、これからも『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険』の新展開に、強い期待をさせていただく所存でございます（なんか文章かたいな）。Volume Differences
