In 2017, Yoshigami was given the opportunity to write spin-off stories of [[Hirohiko Araki]]'s ''[[Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan]]'' series, stating that he felt extreme honor for being allowed to do so and that he never imagined as a teenager that he would get the opportunity to work with Araki.<ref>{{Citation|url=https://twitter.com/ryoshigami/status/1020153247317704707|author=@ryoshigami|date=July 19, 2018|platform=Twitter|title=発売中の『岸辺露伴は戯れない』収録の短篇『楽園の落穂』は、プロット段階から荒木飛呂彦先生にビシバシご指導頂き、これまでになく高密度の物語を構築できました。ジョジョに初めて触れた頃、10代の自分には想像もつかなかった「現在」、この上なく光栄な仕事でした。どうぞご一読ください。}}</ref> Yoshigami received ''[[Diamond is Unbreakable]]'' and ''[[Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan]]'' volumes from the editorial department as reference materials and read them again. Initially, he submitted six plot ideas. From there, it was narrowed down to two, and ''"[[Blackstar.]]''" was chosen. Coincidentally, ''"Blackstar.''" was the one he labeled as "Project Proposal 1" in the order of the plots.<ref>{{Citation|url=https://twitter.com/ryoshigami/status/886934311798059008|title=RT　短篇『Blackstar.』よもやま話１　本作の執筆にあたり改めて編集部より「ジョジョ第四部」および「岸辺露伴は動かない」を資料に頂き改めて通読。最初にプロット（企画）６篇を提出。そこから２篇に絞ったすえ、本作に決定。偶然にも本作がプロット順で「企画案１」としたものでした。|author=@ryoshigami|date=July 17, 2017|platform=Twitter}}</ref> ''"Blackstar.''" was published in the first booklet of the ''[[Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan: Short Story Collection]]'', included in the August 2017 issue of ''[[Ultra Jump]]'' which released on July 19.
