The {{Nihongo|'''Shueisha Paperback Edition'''|集英社文庫(コミック版)|Shūeisha Bunko (Komikku-ban)}} is a paperback or ''{{W|Tankōbon#Bunkoban|bunkoban}}'' release ({{cvt|105|mm|in}} by {{cvt|148|mm|in}}, A6 size) of the first seven parts of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' manga, in addition to various other works by [[Hirohiko Araki]]. Though physically smaller than the standard {{W|tankōbon}} editions, each paperback volume of the main series contains more pages and chapters than a standard tankōbon volume.

==Summary==
The release of the paperback edition of ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' 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. The first two volumes of ''[[Steel Ball Run]]''{{'}}s paperback edition were released on February 17, 2017, dropping most of the prior Parts' branding. The remaining 14 volumes of the Part were again released over time, with the final two volumes both being released on January 18, 2018.

Other works by Hirohiko Araki, namely ''[[Gorgeous Irene]]'', ''[[Under Execution, Under Jailbreak]]'', ''[[The Lives of Eccentrics]]'', would receive paperback editions from September 2011 through October 2012; ''[[Cool Shock B.T.]]'' and ''[[Baoh the Visitor]]'' had already received paperback editions on June 16, 2000, and ''[[Oingo Boingo Brothers Adventure]]'' had been exclusively released in paperback format on October 18, 2002.

On August 31, 2012, all 12 paperback 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 {{Nihongo|''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 could also be downloaded to mobile devices through Shueisha's own Jump Store app for iOS and Android prior to its discontinuation. ''[[Vento Aureo]]'' and ''Stone Ocean'' were made available in the following weeks, and Parts 1-3 were made available on September 21, 2012. Unlike Parts 1-6, JOJO-D digitally published the tankōbon release of ''Steel Ball Run'' rather than the paperback release, a decision that extended to ''[[JoJolion]]'' and ''[[The JOJOLands]]''.

==Trivia==
*The box sets for the first three parts have the same number of volumes as the [[JoJonium]] releases.
*This edition introduces some mild censoring, removing certain phrases that would now be considered homophobic, sexist, or demeaning to the intellectually-disabled. All subsequent editions, including the [[JoJonium]] and [[JOJO-D|digital releases]], retain these changes.
*This version has been fully published in Italian by [[Star Comics]], and serves as the basis for the [[List of Spanish JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Chapters|Spanish, Argentinean, Mexican]], [[List of Brazilian JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Chapters|Brazilian]], [[List of German JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Chapters|German]], [[List of Polish JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Chapters|Polish]], and [[List of Indonesian JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Chapters|Indonesian]] editions of the series.
*In August 2013, the 44th printing of Volume 9 (''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'') and 43rd printing of Volume 25 (''[[Diamond is Unbreakable]]'') were misprinted with pages swapped between them. For example, in Volume 9, after [[Hol Horse]] tells [[Jean Pierre Polnareff|Polnareff]] that the [[J. Geil|man with two right hands]] is nearby, the next page showed [[Rohan Kishibe]]. The volumes were later recalled from stores.<ref>http://atmarkjojo.org/archives/2821.html</ref>
